It wasn't meant as a criticism, just information for anyone who might be looking. I'm an analyst for a product team of 6 people (including frontend and backend devs. We have one backend dev XD) working on a website for a major university, and we've just been tasked with creating a mobile app...

This may or may not be helpful but I wanted to chime in that I've really liked Indiemade as a site provider. It's a website designed for small, independent craft sellers. I pay $5 a month for a site with a shopping cart. I've only used it for friends who wanted to buy from me (they insisted on...

Highly recommend the SFIC brand, which many places including BB carry. One of the reasons I like SFIC is that it's a true soap, not detergent based. And the quality is amazing. In the past I thought I hated "glycerin" soap. Turns out, it was the detergent based ones my skin didn't like. The SFIC...

following because I really liked candlescience's patchouli, but it can only be used at 2% I love dark patchouli but I've found the EO to be a bit too expensive for me.

I just went through this myself. Wound up ordering from saveoncitric.com Product and shipping prices were good. Took a little bit of time to get it, but I was happy with the overall experience. ETA: I price checked between saveoncitric, making cosmetic, and two other sites(can't remember) and...

That is exactly what happened with me and it drove me nuts trying to figure out. I think part of the problem is that what some people call "ash" isn't really soda ash but some other weird soap crystallization thing that no one fully understands. It's maddening. I just don't use AC anymore. 🤣

Honestly, I love the avery labels and their online template/designer. Just learn from my mistake when you go to print, double check that it's NOT set to "fit to page"!

I can finally rest easy tonight! 😂 🤣

It kind of looks what has happened for me with two different soaps that used activated charcoal. I'm not convinced mine was ash, because it went through (not just the top). Didn't happen with other colors, or in bars where I used iron oxide for black. I decided it's something with activated...

I don't know what you're talking about, this is serious business. 😉🤣🤣😆😁

Chiming in to say that Nurture satsuma is ridiculous with it's retention and strength. I put a TINY amount of it in a blend, and it took over, even surpassing the patchouli. 6 weeks later, it's settled down a bit but is still dominant and very prominent. I'm actually pretty annoyed about it 🤣

@Zing, go buy thee the spatulas I linked to! (here) Do eeeeeeet! I used to make gourmet cupcakes in college(for friends,family, coworkers, nothing serious but I did bake a lot) and that was when I learned that I hate two part spatulas. NEVER AGAIN. Interesting to see the convos re: arm warmer...

Kim I love these! There's something really beautiful and satisfying about a simple, clean looking bar of soap. The top texture adds just enough visual interest without taking away from the simplicity. Really, I love these.

Wrapping Halloween and Pumpkin Spice soaps to send to friends. :) Planning out FOs for a batch of MP Halloween soap I decided, yesterday, that I needed to do. 😂

If a government or regulatory agency wants or needs to do that, there are other ways for you to have the information available to them. I just don't see how a street address serves the public if there's not a storefront. And I don't really think it's productive or valuable to continue defending...

Maybe I'm jaded but have you seen the mob mentality of folks on the internet? You say the wrong thing on twitter and get death threats. You annoy a kid in an online video game and he calls the FBI on you. Doxing is a thing and I've seen too much entitlement and lack of common sense from a lot of...

I don't want people I don't know to have direct access to where I live. Yes, addresses are public information but you have to know to search for it. That's different from plastering my home address on products/items that get shipped out to people I don't know. I think it's outdated, because...

Sounds like we're of a similar mind! I may try this, as I want to get my coconut enough lower and I was JUST looking into a high oleic sunflower in place of olive (just to see if I like it better), How does this perform?

No reason you can't increase that shea to counter balance reducing coconut. My current favorite recipe is 25% coconut, 35% olive, 30% shea, 10% castor Lather isn't as super bubbly as some other formulas, but it's still a nice lather and sugar could be added to boost if you like (I don't really...

are both batches sticky, etc? Did you upscale both? By how much? Larger batches can behave differently I think because of the mass and heat generated. When I upscaled a recipe and used a slab mold, it needed 3 days before it was firm enough to cut.
