    Olive cleansing oil face wash

    Yes, one of the nice things about these cleansing oils is that you can customize them to your own preferences. I used avocado because my skin really loves it, buy you can easily adapt the recipe to use whichever oil your skin likes best. I'm really liking this product a lot, and I imagine I'll...

    Issues with Silicone Molds

    George, I'm wondering if you have any of the softer type silicone molds that we're talking about. I'm thinking that maybe it's just that you've never unmolded soap out of one of them, because there is such a big difference. With the CC mold, I can barely pull the sides away at all to break the...

    Issues with Silicone Molds

    The molds you're talking about are stand alone molds. They're made of a stiffer kind of silicone, so that they don't need a box to support them. I have the one from Crafter's Choice, and I rarely use it, because if find it so difficult to unmold soap from it. The kind of silicone molds that I...

    I think I'm done

    I know Dee, I feel the same way about that. And then sometimes, I would think it was just me who wasn't doing well, so I'd go around and talk to the other vendors, and when I did really poorly, so did everyone else. Well, almost everyone, the food vendors always seem to do well. Soapmakers, if...

    I think I'm done

    Give it a try, you never know. I have a love/hate relationship with craft fairs. I LOVE doing them. I love the atmosphere when you get there early in the morning to set up. I love meeting the other vendors, looking around to see what they're selling. I love talking to the customers about soap...

    First soap plan

    Just FYI, in addition to all the good info you've received above...my first mold was a quart milk carton. If you decide to use that, open the top, wash it out and let it dry. When ready, pour your soap in, and close up the top. I wrapped mine in a towel to encourage gel. When you're ready to...

    Olive cleansing oil face wash

    I always figure when you find something like this, it's too good not to share!:) I wash my face, and blot it dry, but while it's still damp, apply about 4-6 drops, it doesn't take much, to my face, and let it sink in before I apply my make up, or at night before I go to bed. It doesn't leave...

    Olive cleansing oil face wash

    I'm glad you're liking the squalane, it's nice, isn't it? This cleansing oil is really nice too. I do want to tinker with it a bit more, so that I'm left with just a thin film of oil on my skin. I'm thinking a bit less cromollient and a bit more avocado. From making soap, you've got plenty of...

    Olive cleansing oil face wash

    And if you make your own, you get to use your favorite oil! And it takes very little FCO and Cromollient, so it's really inexpensive. I'm thinking this would make a nice Christmas gift for my friends. I need to go look for some pretty pump bottles. :)

    Olive cleansing oil face wash

    So with the recent thread about frizzy hair, and DeeAnna's recipe for conditioner, I ended up visiting Lotioncrafter to get my ingredients. While there, I checked out the formulary section and was happy to find something that sparked my interest...olive cleansing oil. Years ago, I started...

    Can you see it???

    I know, right? Maybe next year I'll start another SFG devoted to only tomatoes! :) I love hot sauce, and habs are my favorite hot pepper. They have such a yummy, almost fruity after taste. Sadly, my habs are taking off verrrry slowly, they're still tiny. Such a funny spring. You're lucky to be...

    Can you see it???

    It's a pepper!!!!!!!!!!! I can't compete with Irish Lass' garden tower but to my defense, it's been a very cool and rainy spring here, so the garden is coming along slooooowly, but today it's in the 90s and I went out to water the garden and what did I find? A pepper! I can't tell you how...

    Overall quality of fragrance oils from company to company

    Some suppliers FOs just seem to smell nicer than others. Like you, I've bought many that sounded amazing in their descriptions, only to smell nothing like that when I got them. And it wasn't just that they didn't smell like their descriptions at all, they just smelled, not necessarily awful, but...

    Silicone molds ??

    It does have buyer protection, I've never had to use it, so I can't tell you anything about that, but I've ordered quite a lot of molds from them, and some other stuff too, and I've yet to have a problem, other than some long delivery times. Although, the things I've ordered more recently...

    Silicone molds ??

    If you do a Google search, there are lots of mold options out there at a variety of prices. I do a lot of DIY projects, but I've always found molds cheaper than I thought I could make them myself. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CID6CJ0/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20...
