    Labeling woes

    Labeling woes

    saponified oils of is not correct. If you list what comes out of the pot it must be sodium cocoate, sodium olivate, etc..the actual chemical it turns into once it is soap.

    Making your booth stand out in 2014

This year I am thinking of ditching the burlap because it wrinkles so easily and makes me nutty to look at it and see it wrinkled. I use old wood crates and try to find wood boxes and such...
