  1. Just thought I'd share BrambleBerry's Orange Peel has survived the curing period 5 weeks now and its still quite strong. Good Orange scent. That's all I just wanted to share.
  2. Hi Everyone, I'm trying to find a reasonably priced supplier for about 16 ounces of Lavender EO preferably 40/42. Essential Depot is not completely back up yet or I would go there. Can anyone recommend another supplier?
  3. Right solvents are the way to clean oil paint. I do use solvents, but sometimes I need to wash the brushes too. I like the way a good CP soap is for washing my brushes.
  4. I wish I had some pumice! I just don't want to order more soap making supplies. I like the cornmeal idea. Thanks Candybee.
  5. Hi, I made soaps for awhile a year or so ago. Now I'm planning to make some CP soap to clean my brushes that I use for oil painting. I wanted a light exfoliant in the soap and I have some "ground marble" a/k/a Calcium Carbonate (the ground marble is not from my soapmaking supplies its an art supply thing). Is this a safe ingredient? I don't seem to have any other exfoliants in my collection of leftover soap making supplies except maybe colloidal oatmeal.
  6. Thanks Candybee. I found soap making to be very creative much more so than I would have guessed before I tried it. I'll come back and post from time to time.
  7. Its really been fun making soap.... so fun it was well addicting. I think I'll make soap every Christmas from now till forever.
  8. No don't melt just whip. I found stick blender too weak so I used hand mixer to whip it. Its a really simple formula to make you can do it in like 15 minutes or less.
  9. True what TallTayl says. I opted for the non-emulsified version because the emulsified ones I made washed off more completely and I liked the leave behind butter feeling.
  10. I use regular sugar. I found it had for me the right amount of scrubiness. I tried brown sugar but found it sort of sticky and gooey after awhile.
  11. Moonstar -I envy what your daughter is doing with her life it sounds very fulfilling. I wish I had majored in art instead of being "practical". My avatar is one of my paintings. I plan to reopen an Etsy shop for my art that has been "on vacation" for almost a year now. I need to restock it first though. I sell my art for charity its just a side thing for me.
  12. This isn't technically an emulsified sugar scrub as there is no emulsifier added but its much like one in constancy. This formula is like a body butter with sugar added - creamy and rich. Regular sugar scrubs I've tried are more like oils and sugar. I like both but I like this formula best. Leaves a nice emollient layer on skin feels silky good afterwards.
  13. Just wanted to share my sugar scrub recipe in thanks for all the recipes and info everyone here has shared. Creamy Whipped Sugar Scrub 2.5 oz Virgin Coconut Oil 4.5 oz Shea Butter 1.5 oz Sweet Almond Oil 7 grams Optiphen Plus (or other preservative for oil based product, see usage rate for your choice of preservative from your supplier) 15 oz Sugar 8-12 ml Essential Oil or Fragrance Oil. See usage rates for your choice from your supplier. Tiny pinch of colorant -optional Add Sweet Almond Oil Whip Again. Add Optiphen plus whip more. If using colorant mix with sugar first. Whip in Sugar and EO/FO. Whip Shea. Add CO Whip again.
