I line my shelves with blank newspaper. ULINE sells it in bulk. No mess, no fuss. When the paper gets full of crumbs, just pick it up and dump them out. Have never had DOS with this method.

I have to tell you that I'm not impressed with some of their EOs. Their Lavender 40/42 does nothing for me. I'm going back to NDA when this batch is used up. Plus I got 2 jars (lemon and Patchouli) that were under stated weight. I did not have a problem with shipping times, though.

***And since customers don't always use the soap that they buy right away, it's definitely not out of the realm of possibility for the bar of soap to be icky by the time they finally get around to using it.** This is a straight-up fact. Just this past week, I made a home delivery to a customer...

I sell both and agree with what IrishLass and Dorymae both have said. I'll never understand why anyone thinks HP can be "ready to sell" faster than CP. Whether it saps in the crockpot or in the mold has nothing to do with speeding up cure time. And if you want it to cure "faster", I'd cut it so...

I can see how that happened. I just did that "experiment" that's been going around on facebook where they pop a Dove bar in the microwave to see it rise and expand. Works with handmade soap, too. :) But, if it was left in there too long, I was pretty sure it could blow up or catch on fire. Looks...

Oh, whoops. Didn't catch that one.

I agree it might be an allergy - the rapid heartbeat is a definite indicator. Take that EO out of your lineup.

I love the print magazine and am willing to pay for it, BUT with their new minimum, you can't JUST purchase the magazine - you've got to buy $35 more in product. Bad move.

Well put. About sums up this whole debate.

Oh, if I could just link you to a "soaper" here in town... she makes MP soap with a suspension base, plops some "organic coconut oil" into it and goes on and on about her handmade soap being "great for your skin and great for getting rid of those nasty germs like ringworm, staph, and MRSA."...

Even with my own opinion, I do share DeeAnna's opinion on soap. Soap does not moisturize. Your skin feels better because it's not being stripped or covered with crud. With handmade soap you can clean it without constantly irritating it like with commercial soap. I also believe that the higher...

I just looked that up at L*SH and it looks like the solid scrub bar for in-shower use that I make. I wish I was as clever at marketing as they are :) But, from the OP, I was thinking lotion bars that you'd use after the shower.

Bread???

I think you might break out if you rubbed lard or tallow right into your face and left it there. But in a soap that gets washed off, I doubt it would cause clogging.

Remember, too, that most of us forget what "clean" feels like. Lots of commercial soaps and body washes add silicones or mysterious "moisturizing creams" to cover up the high cleansing factor that they have. This can leave a layer of goo (for lack of a better term) on your skin. Now, using real...

Ick. I wouldn't want little crunchies in a lotion bar, myself.

I dunno - I think that swirl looks awesome.

WIIFM - What's In It For Me. That's what you need to fulfill for your customer. Nice and simple. :)

No I didn't, actually. I don't buy from them - but it's a good idea, thanks!

Does anyone know of a Love's Baby Soft dupe that will work in CP? Yeah, gross, I know - but I have a customer request. I can't seem to find one on my own. TIA!!
