A few more items became available, and again a few more will come in the next few weeks. Here is the updated list: 150 PET 4 oz bottles with flip top dispenser caps Emulsifying wax - $1 /oz or $5 / lb Indigo crystals - $5/oz Annato infused olive oil - 4 oz PET bottle - $ 4.00 SOLD...

I just updated the OP on what is sold and what is still available.

Do you have bees wax? I make a solid lotion that many people like - it is simply 1/4 each shea, cocoa butter, almond oil and bees wax. I infuse calendula in the almond oil, but it is not necessary. Melt together in double boiler, pour into molds. If any of your essential oils are food...

I am too of the chisel and rubber mallet persuasion.

This is no longer looking 'accidental'.

I love patchouli EO as well. A blend of a wine cork scent mixed with damp earth, but with a spicy and 'clean' background to the whole thing. I mostly blend it, but being out of patchouli would be almost like being out of garlic in the kitchen. Inconceivable. Getting back to the ones I...

I am not saying this is what happened, but the only ones who would 'gain' from such deletion would be the manufacturers and distributors, if the reviews were negative...none of mine were erased so if you remember what you wrote, can you confirm if they were negative reviews? Now, just because...

I make scrub soaps that are very popular with the dudes. Coffee as the liquid, poppy seeds and salt soap shreds. They are meant as hand scrubs, but guys use them on their bodies to shower. Crazy I say but who am I to judge? dudes will be dudes. Tea tree and peppermint sells well, citrus...

Canola and grape seed oils have an abundance of linoleic and linolenic fatty acids which can cause soap to oxidize and go rancid fast. I do not recommend using them. Olive oil is fine, you can make a 100% olive oil soap but it should be cured for a long time, at least 3 months, preferably 6...

I sent you a PM, not sure if you will get it. Please let me know if you need 1 oz or 4 oz for the essential oils. As far as payment, I can invoice you with Square or you can send me a personal check. I'll figure out the best shipping option once I know if you'd like 1 oz or 4 oz. Thanks for...

Cactuslily, I will try to PM you, but in case I have troubles, email me directly at [email protected]

Downsizing and moving my shop across the pond. I will no longer sell but want to continue making soap for my family and for trade. I will enjoy making just the soaps I like! This will still take a little adjusting. Where to buy coconut oil in Barcelona? What about essential oils? Any...

thank you! I will remelt them. I have larger wicks, and I was also thinking about scented wax melts, if I can find a suitable mold.

The candles colored with alkanet infusions were the only problematic ones. The ones tinted with paprika and anatto performed fine, both for burning and hot throw. So avoid alkanet but the others are fine!

I have had a chance to test a couple of them, with mixed results. Lavender (CS) colored with oil infused alkanet had great cold and hot throw, but subtle. I used a lot (approximately 1 and 1/2 oz per lb) of fragrance so on the next one I will use the same amount or perhaps a little more. The...

Most of mine are blends (except for my patchouli soap) and people really like them. You can maybe start with two EO blends and increase the complexity? for example spearmint-peppermint, tea-tree peppermint, orange-rosemary, orange-anise,.....the list can go on. Some of my blends go to 7-8 EOs...

Different ways. For alkanet I use higher heat since it is for color only, same with anatto and paprika. I either use a double boiler or an oven on low heat for 2 - 3 hours. For the nettles I used low heat and infused for a couple of weeks. Same with calendula. Next I will be trying indigo...

Thank you! I did several burn tests for different wicks and one of the scent blends in uncolored, determined the best wick size and checked that the scent did not interfere with the burn - but I have not tested the colored ones and/or several of the other scents. I will burn the first one...

These are soy candles, scented with FOs but using botanical color infusion - alkanet (2 concentrations), anatto, paprika, chocolate (very light beige, should have used more?), nettle (a hint of green) and uncolored. Some of the scents are my blends: lavender, lilac, neroli, spice alley, moccha...
