I still haven't started selling yet. Didn't realize how much preparation needed to get going. Still shopping around to find the best pricing for insurance.

Where did you end up purchasing it with?

This would be the first time making and labeling lip balms. I wanted to experiment with flavor oil amounts and practice with small batches.

Is shrink wrap out of fashion now for wrapping soaps? The boxes are pricey, wrapped soaps time consuming but pretty, cigar bands need be tightened over time. Shrink systems faster, cheaper, easy to adjust. Do you find people not purchasing your soap because it was wrapped in plastic?

Does anyone use these and what labels do you buy? https://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/products/natural-mini-lip-balm-tube-and-cap.aspx I was looking for the labels with the safety tab ideally but not seeming to find them. I did find little shinkwrap tubes for these that's it so far. Any...

Congratulations everyone. I had a lot of fun participating in this challenge. I loved seeing everyone's entry and nonentry photos and reading about yalls processes.

Not sure what those raised bumps are but you could plane or cut the tops off the soaps to salvage it. Your second soap is sooooo cute. It's giving grogu aka baby Yoda vibes. What colorants did you use on it?

Soap was inspired by Florida's sunsets at the beach. I was feeling homesick when I made this. I decided to do a luna swirl. I fragranced it with BB white tea and ginger. Colorants are from mad micas, the purple I used 3:1 Harold's purple crown and Wicked. For the peachy pink I used 3:1 Always a...

I believe it. Amazon has the money to do something like that. No clue how that's legal but the internet was no restrictions in the U.S. If I can I'd like to avoid etsy but not sure if there are any viable other options out there. I wouldn't even say etsy is all handmade now with the ai art...

Not a huge deal but was disappointed with that fee. I was hoping to use square for a one stop shop with some of their features like for inventory counts and was excited to see etsy synced with it but was floored that each sale in person is also on etsy so you're hit with the .20 relisting fee...

I'll have to get a sample of this to see if I like it. I've been trying to find a jasmine scent that doesn't rice or accelerate.

The particular green was under the wallpaper in my kitchen. What did you think of the FO? Smell and perfomance?

Has anyone had success from selling with Etsy? Anyone use alternative sites to Etsy? Etsys fees seem like a lot. I have a square account and if you link the two to manage inventory etsy takes a fee from selling with square in person. Ideally I'd like to sell in person too but honestly it's...

I have mixed feelings about it. I like to bevel mine, especially for pictures since it looks better. I don't like seeing all the soap crumbs from the wire cutter. But it's extra work and left with scraps I don't want to use. I bought the designer edge beveler from creamy obsession that really...

The top came out pretty. I did get some soda ash but tried steaming it so we shall see if it redevelops.

I am so excited to see what everyone comes up with:dance: Hope yall post all the attempts in this thread that don't make the the cut because I'm sure they will still look great.

Like the seeds in the punks. I like that fragrance oil, nice to work with.

Love the FO on this and it behaved really well. Used BB Made to Measure. It's a fresh cologne smell. Used Mad micas Wicked (5% batter), Preppy Blue and a dash of Wicked (5% batter), Nutures soap Celestial (5% batter and mica swirl), Snow White (85% batter). Poured between light and medium...
