OK, so, I was looking at the IFRA sheet for the WSP and ALL the slots say NO LIMIT. So, does that mean A- You are not supposed to ever use it? B- There is no limit and you can use it in any strength C- the IFRA sheet has a mistake? Thanks to anyone who can help with an answer. Or if...

I love their micas!!!!! They are pretty much all I will use now.

Has anyone ever applied gold leaf to soap either before or after saponification? If so, any tips?

Sorry have to vent.... So, I like ED especially their essentials... So, it's been annoying to me that for the last few weeks, because they are swapping over their labels, I haven't been able to get most of what I need. So, today was they day they are supposed to go live. So, I go on to...

IF you are in a regular location, and/or have a good selling website, YES samples help- but it's all in when and how. My partner and I are selling, we do a few things- this is at farmers markets often with SLOW traffic. 1- We always stand up and greet anyone who walks by. 2- We put it...

Found the link to the spread sheets.... It was on one of her videos: http://ziggurat.org/soap/calculators/

Yeah- the last few examples you gave sound like they had very little to do with YOU and everything to do with some people acting inappropriately. A disapproving look and shaking your head at them like you would a bad child, and then turn away from them. People touching... if it's BAD...

In terms of the sexually demeaning remarks- I am not sure exactly what was meant by that. Personally, I think anyone who makes sexual remarks to a stranger in a public place like a market should be met with a shocked glance, followed by a "I'm sorry, that was not appropriate!" If it goes...

You could also do the direct approach, depending on how revealing you wish to be. "Yes, and I have a lot of challenges socially- so this is a -good attitude only- zone. You have to be nice and kind, or the soap will reject you and you have to leave." Said with a smile and wink of course...

If you have a Sams club, the tent they have for $199 (They usually call it their professional tent or commercial tent) and is either an EZ up or Z shelter (Made by EZ up) and it is one of the best tents in that price range. Tricks to keep your tent in good shape for years: NEVER put it...

By definition, if it's soap, it was made using lye to turn the oils into soap. But just like the oil is no longer oil- you wouldn't cook with my Olive Oil Soap- The Lye has been changed too. What's left is Soap. IF there was still Lye in it, that would be bad. Also, I use food grade lye...

Kombucha is basically vinegar- won't that make the chemistry "Wonky"?

Oh yes! At one of the markets I attend, I've become Deputy Manager (Basically I watch over things if the manager can't be there) So i only have to deal with Day-Of stuff. BUT.... Believe me, that's plenty. She also has to deal with all the rest. Your Market manager is your best friend...

You come home from work and order a pizza because you don't want to cook. And while you are waiting for it to arrive you "cook" a batch of soap!

Interesting... thanks for your help.

Does anyone have experience with lala Essential oils regarding price and quality?

I do find it challenging here in my area sometimes. I make soap, all I claim about it is that it is soap as in Florida, that is all I can claim. YET I come across other Fl vendors who talk about all the amazing properties of their soaps. I have a licensed mobile food concession as well...

So... if I visit a vendor that does ANY of the things I do, I always introduce myself, and let them know I am a vendor as well, first thing up front. I always make sure to do this privately and not in front of any potential customers. I compliment them on something I can find to compliment...

I want one! SOOOOOOO PRETTY!

Soaping 101 has a ready made spread sheet that does the calculations for you..... I'll look for the link later.
