yes Tall, thanks. meant oz. thanks for tip candybee

Another method is, 3% of 2 oz is 0.06 gm.

I usually make 4 oz at a time so I double this formula. However, I have a hard time deciding whether to add 1, 2, or 3 % for the flavor. Not sure if 1% is strong enough or if need up to 3%. I have made lip balms that did not hardly taste or smell, and made some that had too much. Be nice if the flavor oils label would tell you what per cent works best in 2 oz or something. ?

For 2 oz of balm: 12 drops = 1% 24 drops = 2% 36 drops = 3%

Has anyone added nettle to eye cream or face cream, and how much should I add? I have liquid nettle. Nettle is good for skin and wrinkles I heard. Thanks.

Looking for Captivatingly Currant from JS. They no longer carry it . Unless, someone knows of another place that makes the same scent.

This is the first email i have received in months. thought the site was no longer here.

where is a good place to get cocoa butter. i usually use the white refined for body products. seems so expensive.

that is a good idea, thanks

me too soycrazy

That is what I think also. I will just make up cards or labels so they will have them with their packages. thx

I am selling my soaps cut up and in loaf display so it looks like a whole loaf of soap. I have a sign that describes what all is in the soaps. I also have small cello bags for them to place the soaps in when they purchase them. I was wondering if I should put ingredient labels on the cello bags? I have about 200 soaps. I use to box them but because my soaps are bigger than the boxes I can't use the kraft boxes anymore. Placing a decorative soap band is too time consuming. People love the look of the soap displayed like it is still a whole loaf. I will put out samples for them to smell so they are not handling all the soaps. I also made pumpkin spiced pie soaps and will place them in pumpkin wooden baskets. I could print up cards and place in the bags when they buy rather than having to stick labels on all the bags.

okay, thanks. i think it was the receipe i used too. need to stick to my sure fire receipe from now on

candybee, i do the same thing then my soap does not turn orange. i also use gm powder and there is no changes in coloring.

I usually do 1 oz. per fo per lb of soap. i am thinking the oak moss should be 1/2 oz per lb. made a batch and smells great but soap is not pretty. really ashed and almost too strong of scent. anyone use oak moss?
