Thank you irish :) I made a brambleberry order with some of the oils, maybe some of these un-opened candy oils i can return. I have NO idea why the recipe I found (martha stewarts) contained candy oil if it's not even oil soluble, I feel like I wasted a lot of money :O Thanks guys

Ok, thanks Genny

Hm, well that stinks, I spent 80$ on a bunch of candy oils, sigh. I guess I can always make stained-glass-candy lol Thanks I'll try stevia instead I think I actually have some! What kind of flavor can you use then? I know it has to be food-safe right? Extracts maybe?

My recipe for the topping (batch of 12 cupcakes) is: 3 cups powdered sugar 2 tablespoons merangue powder fragrance oil (optional) whatever colorant you want, labcolor doesnt work great though, mica's and even food coloring is ok for this 2 tsp witch hazel 4 tablespoons warm water...

Hi guys, I'm new at lip balm and I found a recipe that is 1 tbs beeswax, 1 tsp coconut oil, flavoring oil of your choice and sweetener (optional). The beeswax and coconut oil melting in the double boiler part goes fine.....it's when i add the oil and sweetener that things go crazy. The...

Honey has properties that kill bacteria, viruses and fungus. But the ratio of honey to other stuff would have to be huge on the honey side for it to kill all the germs wet hands put into the container lol

Yea you need to put ingredients on labels on your individual products made using the lotion base/soap base. You shouldn't use storebought bases. i'm not sure if you're asking about adding fragrance to say...a bottle of white rain body wash....or if you are asking about adding it to goatsmilk...

Purina farm supply store here sells 5 pound and 10 pound bags of dead sea salts...im sure they have these purina stores everywhere. 5 pound bag is 7.99 and the 10 pound bag is 14.99. also a good place to get citric acid cheap, you can buy a 10 pound bag of citric acid in their canning department...

I dont know why i did it but i put 5% kaolin clay in a batch of shaving bars (cp). The soap should have cured by now but it's still very soft, i never had a problem putting clays in mp soaps this is the first time ive done it with cp soap. just wanted to share my disaster so no one else wastes a...

Naturally you have to also pack the soaps which you have placed in sleeves in celophane bags. You can finish off the bag with a pretty ribbon or piece of twine and a tag. I've had MP soap sealed this way for over a year and it has no sweating or loss of scent or quality. Nothing wrong with a...

Yes I also thought it was odd, since preservatives are in practically everything we use on a daily basis but she swears by it so who am I to say no....Giving her a base is a good idea too, I'll swing that by her as well. Thank you!

Yes I have liability insurence and am a certified herbalist. I've found a few recipes online for lip balm that call for parafin wax and petrolium jelly (vasalene), but the vasalene in it makes me nervous. I could see it melting in a hot shipping truck and oozing out of the container :(

Thank you! I'll notify her of the water issue. I have a case of 2000 nice bamboo spoons I bought on a trip to Japan, I guess I can give her one of those to use. I've been trying to decide what to do with them. This might be it! :)

lye can make pyrex and other glass stuff explode and if you are standing nearby that isn't a good thing!

It probably had more to do with the boy's diets than with their shampoo! Eating commercially raised cattle and poultry can give anyone (male or female) an estrogen overdose because they inject them with it almost daily and it gets stuck in the meat. Little girls used to have their periods at...

I use shrink wraps with a perferated easy-open strip. You can buy them on brambleberry pretty cheaply. You get 250 of them for just a few dollars. It says you need a heat gun for them, but I use a hair dryer on a hot setting and it works just fine! And you do not need to use a crock pot for...

HI! I have been searching and scouring the web all over to try to find 2 recipes or at least the basics so I can make my own recipe. To no avail :x I am looking for a sugar scrub recipe that contains no preservatives (I have a customer who has alergies to them, she says). She has...

hi~ Actually there's a weed called Sheeps Nose (the leaf looks like it has a big sheep nose with 2 little "ears" on top) that is much better than what you are using! My pawpaw used to pick it and grind it up and put it directly on poison ivy and it was gone almost instantly.

Hi Everyone! I stumbled upon this forum in a search for a sugar scrub recipe that doesn't contain any preservatives. Unfortunately I didn't find one but I am glad I found this place :)
