I always request a specific sample I want since I like to pick the fragrance myself. They always give me the one I choose and many times send the sample of the month as well.

A woman I used to work with took Ambien and did the same exact thing. Bought some gifts on the home shopping network in the middle of the night and she had no memory of ordering them, but she did order them. I took it when I was in my 20's and it caused memory loss. NEVER take it and get...

I love Lilac in Bloom from WSP, but everyone said how great the Lilac from Peaks is so I went ahead and bought 8 oz of it. I got very bad headaches for two days in a row that would not go away no matter what I took, but as soon as I put the Lilac soaps in a bag the headaches went away. So...

Thanks for the response Irishlass. That's what I thought.

I really love color selection. Very pretty! It's hard to know if colors will look nice together, but this totally works.

So from what I can gather, suppliers do not need to have these for their fragrance oils. Is it simply cost prohibitive for smaller companies? From what I read, it's voluntary to have these? I have asked for them from a few well know suppliers, some send them right away, while a few just...

Irishlass - Sorry it took so long to respond. Life got in the way. ;) Thank you for responding with such detailed information. Holy math anxiety! I have printed it out and will see if my husband can assist with the calculations. I thought I could do it at first, and then you started...

Thanks everyone for your recommendations. I already soap cool and don't discount wanter too much. I'm done splitting batches and I'll just make two smaller batches. I did it today and all went well. Todd_in_Minnesota - sounds like you were doing some complex splitting. I've realized...

Rustic escentuals has a great Lemon Verbena. It sticks, is strong and complex.

Irishlass - Can you tell me how much EDTA you use and how you incorporate it? I tried using it about a year ago and gave up since I could not dissolve it. Thanks!

Thank you everyone for your input and thoughts. I have used this recipe many times and it's a good one with no issues. I was splitting it since it starts to thicken up if I let it sit. I don't like to feel rushed. My recipe has a lot of hard oils, but I really like it. I think I just...

I feel stupid asking this, but I've had to toss three small batches this week and I'm not exactly sure what is happening. All three batches did not set up and all three were split. When I say split, I mean I weighed the oils and lye/water, then I split the oils in half and split the lye/water...

Their 1 oz jars of mica are 40% off, plus get an additional 5% off by using code soaping101. I love their micas in CP soap and have been very happy with them. I just placed an order on Monday, but I think I will place another one before this sale ends.

I just wanted to pass on something I observed recently. I ordered the Matte White Pigment Powder for Water and the Matte White Pigment Powder for Oil from WSP. It's just Titanium dioxide that dissolves in either water or oil. I could not decide which one was better, so I got them both...

I'm with Obsidian, lard has a creamier lather. I wanted to like tallow better since it has better label appeal, but my preference is lard also.

Under her "Itch be g*ne" soap a "saddened s*ap maker" wrote how she felt about her labeling. I love it! It was written on April 20 so I'm surprised it's still up on her site.

I can't get past the cuteness of the little otter. Love me some otter babies. Your soaps are lovely too!

Seven - Yes, that was my first question on this post. I wanted to know if she made it herself. I do not believe she did. She says nothing on her site that she makes her own soap which she would tout if she actually made the base herself. Also, the recipe for M&P on this site had castor...

Carolyn - The only DB fragrance I have smelled is the one from BB. I have a bottle from them I've had for 2 years that has never been used since I did not like the smell. Does the CalCandle DB smell similar? I'm just curious if they all smell similar. I'm intrigued, but don't want another...

With Aline's suggestion on my mind, I cut the ingredients for BB's Bulk M&P base and popped into my google browser and came up with: http://formulary55.com/shop/bath/shea-butter-bath-bar/ I guess they use this same base. Maybe I will purchase a bar to try. Thanks again for the...
