I was lazy one day and after lathering my hair using my shampoo bar, I also washed my face and the rest of my body with it also. My face LOVED it. Now I am trying to formulate a face wash bar for mature skin using the basic shampoo recipe. I am adding niacinamide powder, hyaluronic acid stock...

At my weekly farmer's market I was bringing 9 different scent diffusers (the glass bottles you hang from the rear view mirror) and they sold like crazy. Thinking I was on to something, I added another stand with 9 more diffusers. After that, I still got sales but not nearly as many as when I...

I have a couple cannabis fragrance oils from WSP. They're meh OOB, but I haven't tried them in any products yet. I just wanted to say I got such a giggle out of this thread because back in the day we would burn candles to HIDE the smell of cannabis. 😁

I have a body wash that would help with that 🤢

Thank you! I have a box full of different wicks. I'll try the HTPs next.

I can't believe container candles are harder to master than all of my bath and body products put together. I've decided it's the ambiguity I'm struggling with. Give me a recipe that I can follow and I'm golden. Tell me a thousand and one ways to make a single candle depending on a thousand and...

Awesome idea! Much better than wrapping in plastic wrap. Thanks for the tip.

Me: Those shields on the fancy scales look like a pain to have to move for every tare. I don't want that on the new scale I'm going to buy. Also Me: I didn't even notice the lye splashed :oops:

Yep. I've done that and it's a pain in the neck to get it stirred into the solution, especially since I didn't notice until after it had cooled down. 🤦‍♀️

I've poured through this thread and made copious notes. Thank you to everyone who is so willing to share your findings. It really says a lot about this community! I'm wondering though, unless I just missed it, how did the .5:1 ZCS:FO trials turn out? Was it as effective as the 1:1 ratio or...
