Have a shopping cart at NDA started. Trying to get to the $100 minimum... almost there! and found lard in the grocery store!!!! Will have to continue gathering my soaping equipment part 2 before I can actually start soaping again...

love this! and the idea of a longer handle so it can be hung! thank you Relle for sharing!

Absolutely terrible. Hope the woman is okay, and the restaurant learned from their mistake. On the lye bottle I have, it has rates of use for household cleaning agent (I'm assuming like bleach...which some brands don't even have use and safety labels on), so totally understandable that it would...

kind of off topic, but I saw a vendor at a market selling soap. they have organic in their name. I look at the ingredients, and nothing is labelled as certified organic (which, I've seen other soapers do for their organic ingredients). I asked them if they use organic ingredients. they...

your most recent one looks much better than the first! way to go!!! I've never set up a shop, but have been to MANY markets, and what I've noticed about your new one is there's not really another pop of colour. you don't have to use the blue cloth you had before, but maybe a bunch of...

oh no!! but, now you have a nice hot processed soap! so not all is lost!

Thanks CanaDawn! I will keep on looking! another thought was whole foods 365 brand. I haven't really checked there yet.....

I'd love to get a costco membership, but I don't live anywhere with a costco, nor do I have a car (city living has its perks). does wal mart have org OO? I haven't shopped there in years so I don't really know...

thanks for your input Dahlia, but like I posted earlier, it's a choice for me to have mostly organic ingredients in my soaps (basically oils and liquids, additives and EOs will not be organic as I don't want to charge $10 for a bar of soap), especially now that there is better access than where...

congrats on your first market! how exciting!!! I'm no expert, but I'd say maybe use a different colour table cloth or have something with some colour. the visual is kind of bland. I like the different textures with the baskets and the mini bale of hay (that's what it is, right?), but...

LOVE! they're super cute!!!!

yes, I realize that. BUT I can't GO to the farm where the oil is made from (nor can I afford to do that) and ask the farmer how much they spray, or be able to purchase direct from the press or farm. with food however, I am able to chat with the farmer at the farmers market, so I'm very happy...

Hi and welcome!

To me, yes it's important. It's not just about the label appeal, but it's about HOW food is farmed. There are enough pesticides and toxic chemicals that are causing enough damage to our world and everything in it. And even with my soaps, I don't want to be supporting a type of agriculture that...

thanks grumpy owl. so far, I will not give up. when there's a will, there's a way. I just needed to get my frustration out there to people who would understand..... I will go forth....and keep looking!

I would say the only way to know is to make a soap without those two oils, and one with one, one with the other, compare and contrast. :). Yep....more soap making and showering!

So, I've moved back to Ontario. I want to start soaping again soon (haven't soaped in about 2 months now....feeling the itch, BAD!). I want to test some recipes that will eventually be my base recipes for sale. I've taken time to decide I want to have mostly organic ingredients (just oils...

If your skin loves lard/tallow, then you should stick with that. Have you tried really high OO soap that's been curing for a long long time?

O. M. G. Those are GORGEOUS!!!!!!!! I agree, they look like some sort of sea creature swimming over coral. Where can I buy one?
