i read the reviews on that gunpowder scent link, most said that it didnt meet the mark, but smelled more smokey. What has it done in your experience? i am looking for a scent like this for my husband.

if you decide to use essential oils, you cannot use them on babies. I think it is suggested that under the age of 10 cant have essential oils.

oh i am so jealous as far as the access of olive oils that you have!!!! welcome!

welcome! i hope it turns out, i dont want you to have to re-batch on your first batch!

Welcome!

Where on earth did you find a solo mold???? I want one now!!!! :)

there are also some sticky traps called "White fly traps" that can be found at various garden suppliers. Gnats are generally attracted to moisture, then foods. do you have either of those around or in your soaps? I know you would have moisture in the soap, but i mean in excess? something brought...

i had that happen to me once as well, wound up burning up the motor on my wand mixer. But my recipe wasnt near as complicated as this one. Sorry cant help, just sharing in the misery:)

Hi there, I have made this recipe twice, the first time i went based off of the original recipes measurements of tablespoons. The second time, i weighed the tablespoon measurement and converted them to ounces. And something went wrong. The oils separated, and the chapstick is grainy. Here is...

they almost look like the nautilus sea shells :)
