Hi Lizzy Welcome. I'm from the Chicago area too. Shannon

I think oils come in 7 pound bottles but they are still less expensive than other places I've checked.

Hi and welcome. I'm in the Chicago area too. If your close to Des Plaines, you can pick up your oils from soapers choice and skip shipping costs. They usually have your order ready the same day you place it. Costco seems to have the best price for olive oil. Shannon

Try blue dawn dish detergent. It works well. It is also effective for de-skunking dogs. For de-skunking mix with hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. I've had the pleasure of using this many times.

I bought it on amazon. A little goes a long way. Natrasorb Bath (Tapioca Starch) 1 Lb Sold by: Chemistry_Connection $26.99 I typically use .26% of my batch (6 grams) I found it when I was researching eo safety in the bath. Here's the link...

I love bath salts! If I'm adding an eo. I add it directly to natrasorb bath (tapioca starch) then mix the natrasorb into the salts. I make these for myself and family with skin safe eo's. I haven't had any issues with free floating essential oils irritating anyone. As an added bonus, I don't...

Those are great names. I don't sell but was looking for a name for labels when I gift. My family came up with some totally inappropriate but absolutley hilarious names.

How about LaraLee Soaps for a name.

The first couple of times I used an alkanet infision I used it at 15% of the total olive oil. The color ranged from green gray to gray. As an experiment, I tried it at 15% of the total oils and the color was a really nice deep purple. It did not color the bubbles or bleed onto my wash rag. I...

I'm still new but make a lot of soap and whipped butters for my family and friends. I really like their oils, butters, and pricing. I'm local so I pick up and don't have experience with their shipping.

Hi KimT2au. Contacting the supplier is probably your best bet. If you want more information on indigo or henna, I order mine (for my hair), check out mehandi.com. She has a lot of info on her site.

I did sign up. Mostly because I was ordering a lot and the 20% off was worth the fee. You can cancel the membership anytime I kept it because of the awesome customer service. I didn't even notice that my discount hadn't been applied. Derek or Matt (I can't remember) emailed me and credited my...

I've ordered from bulk apothecary, essential depot and soapers choice. Essential depot and soapers choice were both really good. Essential depot will also send 8 ounces of organic shea butter free with their code. I think the last code was addshea.

Hi Dawni I've tried alkanet, madder and indigo (green and blue) in both oil infusion and just mixed into the lye. The green indigo might be the kind used for coloring hair (mine was anyway). It stayed green in the infusion and in the finished cp soap. Blue indigo added to lye gave me a pretty...

I had a pug that suffered from panic attacks as she aged. Our vet and I looked into medications that had been tested on dogs. Buspar was very effective and she didn't have any physical side effects.

I used really red pigment and green vibrance mica from nurture soap. A little red goes a long way. I used a little more than 1 tsp per pound of oils and the soap bubbles a light pink. But doesn't stain. Also it bleeds a little into the white after a couple of months. The first photo is fresh cut...

I just want to thank everyone on this forum. I am a newbie to the soap making obsession and have followed your advice and tried to learn as much as I can. This forum has been an invaluable resource! Thanks Again. (I haven't posted before, so I hope I do it right)

I feel your pain with shipping costs and exchange rates. There is a skin care company in Austalia that makes my favorite face serum. The shipping and fees nearly double the price.

I love Soaper's Choice! I ordered early this morning and by 10am my order was ready for pick up.

Thank you so much! I have been having so much fun making soap. I want to thank all of you in this forum! I’ve learned so much from your comments and suggestions.
