Well at least the fo's will still be available. So many suppliers have just disappeared without a trace.... A Garden Eastward, Scent Works, Simple Soothings...

I used Crisco to make soap when I was starting out. It makes lovely soap and I've never experienced DOS using it. Many moons ago I remember buying the store version of Crisco and that did go rancid but I've never had a problem with the name brand stuff.

I am in the process of semi-closing down my business and had a lot of bottles, jars and push up containers to get rid of. I posted some items on FB for half what I paid for them but then started thinking that there was a better way. I have been selling my remaining inventory of plastic bottles...

Has anyone tried to buy plastic bottles lately? Everything seems to be out of stock right now.

Cedarwood, ylang ylang, and orange are good ones to have.

Hello, Unfortunately the covid-19 virus situation has not been particularly good for our business or for our family needs. After taking considerable amount of time to think things over we have decided that we are going to take some time away from our business. This has not been an easy decision...

I don't even cap the bottom. I just double wrap with saran wrap and use rubber bands and some shipping tape to close the one end. Put the pipe into one of my plastic juice pitchers that I use for lye and wrap the part that's in the pitcher with a junky old towel. I leave the top portion...

I made some the other day Zany and it is pretty nice. I subbed evening primrose oil for the infused olive oil which gave it a slightly less oily feel.

You might want to try Sal butter then.

YouTube video with recipe: 1 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 1/2 cup beeswax, 1/2 tsp. vitamin e and 20 drops eo Melt ingredients and then as it cools, stir briskly every 15 minutes. And here is a sort of novel approach to making this without the stirring part (but the same recipe).

Congratulations! Can I ask what fragrance or essential oil you decided on?

I can vouch for the staying power of tea tree eo. I made a tea tree with charcoal soap about two years ago and I still have a few bars - can definitely still smell the tea tree.

Don't know how you can get Lavender 40/42 to last two years.... my batch made in May was rapidly losing it's scent.
