The decals look great Austin!

JudyMoody thanks for the details! I have so far only used EO and wanted natural. My mother & grandmother get sick from certain perfumes, something in there, some chemical, so I have always been leery. But I am tempted by vanilla, some blends, and some food scents. ChristineMM Sent from my iPad...

Hello, I love experimenting and making up my own recipes but it is a risk, especially for a newbie. I had made about 8 batches of easy soap with no scent then took a 2 year break. I am back at it now and started experimenting and realized I may be wasting time, energy, and money in the process...

Really love the coloring of the blue and tan stripes, reminds me also of a beach. Sent from my iPad using Soap Making

I bet it is the soy wax. How about trying the same recipe with an oil instead of the soy wax. Sent from my iPad using Soap Making

after the saponification process is complete no lye is left in the soap, if that matters...

Hello, I just botched a batch of CP 5 lb soap by forgetting to add one oil. I had premeasured everything the night before but one oil got shoved to the side and forgotten until I was cleaning up about 20 minutes after it was in the mold and already started the gel phase. It had reached trace...

I too garden herbs and flowers. I also wildcraft. I have been doing some experiments. Calendula infused olive oil using dried petals adds orange color but no scent to CP soap. My infused olive oil (cold infusion) with crab apple blossom and a batch of magnolia blossom held scent for making hand...

This is pretty interesting to research! The banana oil linked in this thread is made by cold process. EO are usually from steam heat distillation. I know lime can be made by hand using a cold process and it also can be made from reagular heat steam distillation. I read about the extracts...

I don't sell soap yet, just give as gifts. I am learning. I may start selling it so I am looking for options. I do still want to wrap and label the soaps I will gift to others. Couple of thoughts. I saw a package on Pinterest that had a little peek a boo cutout window but otherwise was...

I love your tree image and the writing and cigar band. What to me is uninteresting is the gray color and how the soap is covered up. (Do not mean to offend, you asked!) Is there a way some of the soap can show? I am thinking of doing a peek a boo by having a cutout on the wrapping. I am...

Beautiful looking and the scent sounds fantastic too! Sent from my iPad using Soap Making

There is no such thing as banana EO that I know of. EO is not usually from an edible fruit is is usually from an oil in the seed, leaf, rind, a tree resin, bark, leaf, wood. Other than a juniper berry which is actually more like a seed, I don't think there are other berries or fruits like...

I saw this today, a soap and lotion seller online, look at these claims. I read the FDA page that was linked in another thread about labeling, this: http://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/CosmeticLabelingLabelClaims/CosmeticLabelingManual/ucm126438.htm and this seems suspect...

Difference between book or co claims & face to face seller Hi, I am new here and am reading this old but still interesting and relevant thread. The issues here are similar to the herb world. Herbalists who make teas, foods, lotions, cremes, salves that have medicinal properties have these laws...
