Emilee - that soap is gorgeous and Macca oil really is lovely in soap - you will love the silky lather you get. Nice to see you back on here girl! Tanya :)

That's awesome Kelly! Take enough to neatly cover your table and more stored underneath or in your car, as donniej says. I like to have something taller set up at the back of the table and put my products in rows or small groupings, depending on the size, shape and number I have. I put an...

I have just used "Honey (L'Occitane™ Type)" and so far I absolutely love it in CP. I made a buttermilk soap and left it ungelled and soaped the fo at 3%. It is quite strong and with the buttermilky background smell of the soap, it smells like oob but with creamy notes....soooo nice. If you...

That is just plain gorgeous! Love the detail on top too! Tanya :) [/b]

Oh dear, your poor thing! I've used spirulina powder at 1/2 tsp in 1000g oils and got a medium olive green (I also included avocado oil at 10% and 2T avocado puree). It is still the same colour now with no nasty smell in the shower (about 6 months old) - although I did add a fairly strong...

That is awesome Carebear - the other mods couldn't have made a better choice! BTW - my customers are loving the new Mechanics pumice soap I have made using your suggestions - thanks for that too :D Tanya :)

Hers are truly gorgeous, aren't they Carebear! I wish I lived in the US so I could afford to order one of everything she makes. My favourite soap of hers is 'Love You Long Time'.....soooo pretty! I often like to browse through her website and etsy store for my creative colour fix :D Tanya :)

I haven't done HP as yet but soapers I know swear by it to help with a smooth texture and a more CP-like finish to your soap. One recommendation I have read is to use it at 3% of oil weight. Others use a sugar solution as well as the SL for a super smooth pour. Hopefully someone with...

Hi Corrie! Welcome back :D I have seen all of these because I check out your website regularly :wink: Love them all too. Tanya :)

It is my understanding that CP sticks to CP just fine, even if layers are made several days apart. I haven't yet done this myself but I have read threads on here which cover this topic. Try the search function and type in 'layer' and choose the CP soap forum option. Good luck! Tanya :)

I agree with everyone DL - move on, move forward, and take this as an excellent learning experience. You rock! Tanya

*{{{hugs}}}* from me too...... Tanya

Hi Lisa - try looking at Heirloom Body Care - they don't have a minimum order and supply some glass bottles you may like:- http://www.heirloombodycare.com.au/glas ... c437981bfe HTH! Tanya :)

You have made the right choice Lindy - because it is the one you feel best about :wink: Tanya :)

Just a thought - I have found that my goatsmilk soap helps my DH's psoriasis and a friend's partner has just commented that it helps him too and his psoriasis is quite bad, so GM may be a good additive for you to include too. Tanya :)

ROFLMAO!!! And Tabitha - too funny! Tanya :)

I have done an 80% CO 20% Shea Butter and also an 80% CO 20% Cocoa Butter, both with 20% superfat and they are lovely. Rinses away very clean, but not drying - at least not to anyone who is not overly sensitive to CO. Adding in palm would only make it creamier and more moisturising imho. Why...

Heirloom Body Care also have coconut oil at a good price and no minimum order value which helps :wink: http://www.heirloombodycare.com.au/coco ... cp=121_161 Tanya :)

See? You were awesome!!! Your display looks amazing - I am not surprised that the other vendors were over there straight away. You are well on your way now lady! Congratulations, I am heart glad for you. Tanya :)

I have used 10% in a shampoo bar and usually use 3% to 5% in CP. Even 3% adds fluffiness and body to the lather. Tanya :)
