Layne: I haven't tried this yet, but someone told me on another post to use beeswax to harden a batch; was told it doesn't take much. If you want to stay with the oils and exact recipe you are using, maybe someone could let you know it that would help harden the batch. Also, have you read...

I always use all vegetable type oils and have always cut within 24 hours. 48 must be too long for your recipe. Check often as Kitn mentioned.

Thanks Bibs...I haven't ever tried beeswax. Do you add that to your hard oils when melting and proceed as usual?

Welcome Julie! Your soaps look beautiful in your website!

Congratulations to you on your success! I'm sure you have worked very hard to get where you are. It seems that many people are busy doing their thing...get wrapped up in their world and do not offer support, guidance etc. But if these so called "friends" have nothing to say to you redgarding...

The attorney I spoke to explained the same thing as Kittywing's friend, to form an LLC to protect your own property. (Your LLC could still be sued; but your personally not at risk). In addition, purchase liability nsurance to protect your customer (for serious allergic reaction or whatever). I...

Gramma Judy, I think your questionaire is a great idea! I always ask friends and family for their opionions, but don't really get as much detail as I would like.

Kitn: Those are beautiful marbled bars...they look like a strawberry dream. I would love to smell them.

I would say do not contact her, especially if she is married. But, if you happen to run into her at some point in time, it would be nice to say hi and apologize for the past.

That is wonderful... I wish I had a place like that nearby. It would be nice not to have to pay shipping, especially when I just need one thing.

Awesome swirls!

Avalon: That is a mystery. I hope whatever it is you figure it out and if you do, please post it...and if you don't; hopefully it won't happen again.

I got a caramel color with turmeric in one batch.

JuicyBath: The dehydrated carrots really do a nice job for natural coloring. The soaps look great and I bet they smell wonderful!

Wow Castor...that looks very creamy & love the label!

Kitn: That is a great idea. After seeing everyone's "saponifactories" I have been trying to move everything to one place, where it all fits. There is also an extra refrigerator in this area that we use mainly for the freezer and some soda. I think I will have to claim that also.

I really like rosemary and spearmint, but I haven't tried it with peppermint also. I will have to see if that is better.

Great deal! It's always fun to find a bargain.

Juicybath & BC, I hope I didn't offend either of you or anyone else. I certainly did not in anyway mean to dicourage others from selling their products (I wish everyone much success...including me). I am just commenting based on my experiences, to assist others who may be unsure. I know my...

JuicyBath: Have you used the ground carrots in soap yet. I am curious how the color turns out...if it is orange, peach or if it changes to brown with they lye. I am trying to find any natural colorants I can. If anyone knows of anymore, I'd love to hear about them.
