    Dark Patchouli

    I will no longer use them after they were not receptive to my complaint about the E. O. I’ve spent thousands of dollars with them but never again. They should have weighted out the consequences of not replacing my product. I have been an advocate for them but that’s the past! Time to find a new...

    How many soap makers get insurance?

    Just a tip. Insurance through HSCG offers Insurance and I got mine for $500/yr. The Best Money you will ever spend. Always get your Business License from your County. The Penalties are outrageous and definitely not worth it! If you are an Single LLC but files as a Sole Proprietor, you do get...

    Problems Using Different Beeswax

    Hi! Beeswax has become an Allergen to many in the last few years. Just thought I would make that point. For that reason, I do NOT use it.

    Jasmine EO/absolute?

    I apologize! I misspoke! Jasmine Essential Oil is very expensive because it takes 8,000 Flowers to make a gram! It makes no sense to use it in Soap because you will never make a profit. I assumed everyone knew that. Of course it is not an Essential Oil. However, it works quite well and smells...

    Dark Patchouli

    StephD31, I want to apologize to you and others for defending Bulk Apothecary! I am now one of you!!! I used my Organic Lavender Spike and the chemical smell encompassed my whole lab!

    Dark Patchouli

    That is so interesting because I’ve purchased thousands of dolllars on Essential Oils from Bulk Apothecary and is always impressed by the quality of them all. Especially Frankincense! It is one of my favorite EO of all!

    Newbie to CP soap

    Love your soap! However, I think your soap & lye were too hot. Try soaping at a lower temp of around 85°-90° F. Also reduce your Distilled Water amount to 25%. Blessings!

    Color of soap

    I agree! I think you are soaping too hot. I stay between 80-90°. If you want to make your colors more vibrant, then pop it in the oven at 170°F for a couple hours then turn off the oven and turn on the light until the next day. I hope this helps. No one soaps exactly the same but this has been...

    Curing rack ideas

    These are my Favorite! They are from Essential Depot. Check them out! Hold 100 bars per tray. You can buy the Dolly that has wheels to push it around. The Corners are elevated so there’s extra clearance for taller soaps. There’s Airflow and the sides are high enough to protect from dust &...
