    Also you can get silicone molds sometimes by the jello. And you can also sometimes find them in the baking section.

    Packaging

    I use shrink wrap on my M&P all the time. You can buy shrink wrap by the roll at Michael's and cut to size, wrap, and use your blow dryer to shrink. A small peice of tape in the back will hold it(That's where I put my label) or you can use and old curling iorn to crimp the edges. Can you tell...

    Fresh Basil

    I think it's pesto for you :lol: You could use a basil FO. I have never seen a basil EO but I am sure there is one out there. But It will not survive the lye monster. To respond to your question on the oil, add a little extra to your oil and then reweigh before you mix. HTH!

    Need for Emulsifiers and Preservatives

    Why do you think they tel you to throw out your mascara and foundation after 6 months. Remember this is going on your face, around your eyes and mouth. Water is nasty even distilled. Don't you remember science class in high school where you cultured water? Even distilled grew thing. Probally...

    Need Recipe

    I use SL in all my soaps, molded or slab. When I do have trouble unmolding(depends on the mold) I put it in the freezer and comes out just fine. I don't use a lot of hard oils or beezwax and I don't "condition" my mold either.

    CP soap came out gel like

    If it is jelly like it sounds like it is still in the gel stage. I usually insulate for 12 hours and then unwrap. I live in Arizona but I do soap indoors in the AC.

    Shelf Life of Creams and Lotions?

    NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Borax is NOT a preservative. And if you do not add a preservative it will not last a month even in the frig. It also depends on the manufacturing techniques, the oils and where they come from, the containers that it is placed in, and on and on. You can see when mold develops...

    Price of product

    CJ- Usually you add up the cost of your supplies, time, and fixed costs(utilities, packaging, rental space, etc). double for wholesale and triple for retail. You don't just pull a number off the top of your head. And as everyone else said if you have to ask the questions you asked you are...

    SLS free?

    You are right. They say it is SLS free but I have always thought that SLS was Sodium Laurel Sulfate which is right there in the ingredients. Maybe they mean something else but i would think twice about a company that talks outside both sideds of their mouth :cry:

    Palm free all natural m&p base?

    i can't imagine that it does. There maybe palm free but I do not think you will be able to find an all natural M&P. Have you thought about doing CP soap? There are plenty of palm free formulas out there and you can't get more natural than pure soap!
