Thanks everyone! They are very shiny/glossy. 1312's blow out. Soy pillars are so tricky and I would rather end up with a bit of a shell than blow.

B&B: Lotioncrafter (Hands down THE best supplier/customer service). Candles & B&B: Essential Oil University (top notch oils, great customer service)

Me too!! :yay:I know it seems like a lot of money, and it is. But, I think it will be worth every penny.

MMS has a really good recipe that details the guidlines on amounts used of each type of oil. Make Your Own Lip Balm

I love dry oil sprays too! I like to use a combination of cyclomethicone and dimethicone. To me, adding a bit of dimethicone gives a bit more of a luxurious/silky dry-down.

Hahaha! Welcome to your newest addiction. I love handcrafted lip balm/gloss as well. Every day I get to ask myself do I feel like mango, chocolate or vanilla today. Or maybe lemon, orange or honey. Decision decisions. Are you making pots or tubes?

Those are too cute! Love 'em!

LOL How funny! I guess I really blurred the word in my head and never really pronounced the middle syllable. Thus I always pronounced it fee-nip.

Ohhh Brenda, that's lovely!

I got in on Lynn's manoi buy as well. I have learned a valuable lesson about this particular oil. I ordered manoi from two other well known and respected suppliers. I am here to tell you that there is a huge difference in the oil I received from Lynn. Lynn's oil rocks! Buyer beware on all things but especially manoi.

ahhh....I read your query earlier and wondered if you were asking about micronized TD. This is not a simple problem to solve. There are some controversies relating to micronized TD. I think my first question is what is the purpose of your wanting to use TD in your formula?

The logo is awesome!! Very creative and unique. I will have to say that I agree with Grumpy Girl. I guess it's simply due to the fact that that seems to be the typical layout used by the mainstream/established companies. I really really like it!!! :highfive:

I stumbled across a great reference for those that make cyclomethicone based sprays. HTH someone! (note: these are links to PDF files) Cyclomethicone & Fragrance Oil Testing Cyclomethicone & Essential Oil Testing
