It depends on the facility. I work at one, and we will make sure everything they want in their daily routine gets done. We will do their makeup for them if that's what they want. But not all places are as awesome as ours ;)

Sounds like "Natural" isn't an accurate descriptor to put on your labels. How about "Locally Handmade" FYI: FO is just listed as "fragrance" on your ingredients list.

I'm rebatching a loaf in which I accidentally used non-soap-stable mica in, boo! WSP red-orange oil-locking mica. I bought it for lip gloss, and thought I would remember not to use it in CP (it doesn't say not to on the package itself)... but when I was making my Passionfruit-rose soap I saw it...

You don't have kids, do you? lol! I let my kid play with gak at the Children's museum in town, but not at home! The landlord would LOVE to keep our deposit over a ruined carpet :problem:

I think it's silly to call things that aren't handmade Artisan, especially seeds. Did they actually make the seeds themselves? To me, artisan means handmade with obvious skill, producing a product that is beautiful and unique.

I agree! You really can't please everyone. It seems to me, most people don't care what's in it, as long as it smells nice and works! Some people will turn up their noses at lard soap, not realizing that every commercial soap contains lard/tallow. You can point out that it's...

I made the lotion and it's cooling in the sink now! Hopefully my Optiphen Plus is preserve-y enough for goat's milk, I used "Ultra Pasteurized" if that makes a difference. Thanks for the recipe! It will go nicely with all the goat's milk soap I have stacking up around here :thumbup:

I just found a bottle of Optiphen Plus that's about a year old! Back when I first started making lotions, I ordered a small bottle of Optiphen, but it got misplaced (ie: placed somewhere by my husband.) I just found it this week on top of the fridge! I know it's the old one because I order from...

I don't think all of mine were negative, but some certainly were.

Really, the next day!! WOw! If I don't cut mine within 2 hours, it ain't happening. Did you use a lot of castor oil?

Looks like it turned out great!! I have beer soap on my to-do list. I just wasn't sure how much beer-y smell would come though and what fragrance might smell good with it.

It's definitely patchouli for me as well, ick! Smells like BO to me. I made my mom take the whole batch so I wouldn't have to smell it anymore. Also Pepperberry from BB, though my best friend LOVES it. I thought I'd like sandalwood-rose, but it smells like an old-folks home to me.

I went back and added some of mine that I was pretty sure I had on there before. I don't understand what someone could gain by deleting reviews.

I am formulating a soap with avocado puree, avocado oil and argon oil! Hopefully I can make it tonight after kiddo is in bed. I don't do anything with lye unless he is gone or in bed.

Ok, I rebatched both loaves. Yes, I had made a double batch! I just added in the missing palm and some shea. Hopefully it will turn out! I cut the sandalwood already, and it looks good. A bit moist and the tops aren't as nice as I usually do, but hopefully it will cure out fine. It shredded and...

I didn't add very much avocado and glycerin, just enough to get 2 colors and some kaolin dispersed. I would say definitely less than 2 oz.

I had only a 5% superfat

SO last night I made a batch of HP soap, and it didn't fill up my mold as it does normally. I had increased my usual batch size, so I thought that maybe I hadn't measured the new mold correctly. Then today, I realized I totally DIDN'T add the palm oil! :Kitten Love: The weird thing is: I did the zap...

Apparently, they were out of stock on the Eucalyptus blossom when they processed my order, so none for me.

I use the tussah silk fibers also. It takes just a pinch, and you need to rip it up into small pieces and get it wet thouroughly in the water before adding lye; at least that's what i do and it seems to work.
