    Anyone sell their products in Wholefoods?

    Oh... well, that wouldn't really surprise me. I wonder if anyone on this forum sells there though?

    Anyone sell their products in Wholefoods?

    I always imagined myself, somewhere down the line at least attempting to sell some of my items in local Wholefoods stores. I read through their guidelines a while back to educate myself on what they're looking for. So I wanted to ask, does anyone here sell their bath/beauty products in their...

    Hot Process only 1 hour???

    Same here. My HP soaps get to this stage pretty fast. I don't find myself cooking for over and hour and definitely not 2 hours. I think this idea may have originated on some Utube channels hehe :mrgreen: But even with my short cook times it's hard to get my soaps to fill my molds in all its...

    Catty Competitors

    First, block her on Facebook (if this is on FB). If you have your own hosted website and her email address, try this: Send her an email with a link to a random page you made that is not linked anywhere on your site. (ie. www.yourwebsite.com/upandcomingproducts) and ask her for her opinion...

    Personal site vs. Etsy

    I have left etsy. Never had much luck there. But the bigger reason being, you probably shouldn't ever depend on a 3rd party merchant website for your business. Etsy could decided to close down tomorrow. Or have some ridiculous rule that you can't abide by. Or raise their fees to the point where...

    Is anyone selling on Amazon?

    I'm kind of confused about UPC codes... does every individual item have a different UPC code? Or does each kind have a UPC? Example: Unscented lard soap has one UPC code and Coffee Soap has another UPC? or every single bar or the unscented lard soap has it's own UPC? I'm thinking the former...?

    Un-ethical

    ^^I think this gives away who you're talking about. Pretty sure anyway. lol I have some of their FOs. I have only ordered from them once or twice over 2 years ago. I can't stand shady copy cats. Especially when it's someone doing THAT well (multimillionaire). Like it would hurt them to...

    Soybean Oil? Anyone Tried It.

    For the most recent, yes. It was a simple, no extras soap: lye water mixture into soubean oil, and then eucalyptus oil. Same with the other one. It wasn't "superfatted" ...don't think there's such a thing with CP (??). It was the same as above... only I used a mixture of 2 FOs and a single EO...

    Soybean Oil? Anyone Tried It.

    About a week, ago I decided to try my hand at CP. I normally do HP. Well, so far I made 3 2lb loaves of soap and TWO while in the mold, overnight got this weird spongy look on the top exposed area. Also, these two were leaking big time. The common denominator with these two was that I made it...

    Water Substitutes - other liquids

    I know you can replace water with other liquids (I mean the water you mix the lye into)... but are there any liquids you can NOT replace water with for whatever reason? I'd like to experiment with different liquids but want to make sure it doesn't... explode or something. I'm thinking: coffee...

    Use by symbol?

    Who is allowed to use that "use by" symbol? You know, the one with the open container and inside it says something like: 6M (6 months), 12M, 24M, etc. Often you'll see it on cosmetics. Where does one get the little symbol to put on something like their lotion? Are we small business owners...

    FO instead of EO in homemade laundry detergent?

    Hi jade, when you say you make your own fabric softener, do you put drops on the unscented sheets or do you put drops in white vinegar and put that in your rinse cycle? I heard about the latter method today. I should try just straight white vinegar first.. I keep hearing rave reviews! It's...

    Where to find citric acid

    The one I saw at Walmart yesterday was mixed with a few other ingredients. Don't remember what... but I think it was from Ball's co. Would that mess up my bath bombs?? I mean I hear about people getting their citric acid from Walmart all the time and that was the only brand I saw there. I...

    FO instead of EO in homemade laundry detergent?

    Wow the bit about the dryer sheets a great idea! I actually never realized they sold it unscented! lol Lemme tell you, I just made a batch (my first) of laundry detergent w/o any EO or FO. (The huge bar of white Zote actually smelled a lot like the Fels-naphta soap) I just pulled my load out of...

    Dental soap

    Whenever I use straight baking soda my teeth come out ultra bright white. It's unbelievable the difference in just one brush! (baking soda is a light abrasive) Try it!

    FO instead of EO in homemade laundry detergent?

    Is it OK to put FO instead of EO in dry laundry detergent (especially if I don't have sensitive skin)? Or will it somehow ruin my clothes?? I been reading a lot on here about how the EO scent doesn't stay on the clothes once it's washed so it seems kind of a waste.
