side affects of tins and body butter
friendlyMOM replied to friendlyMOM's topic in Bath, Body & Cosmetics
found the info I needed, sorry http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11512&highlight=tins -
Is there any reason not to use the tins for body butter? I wanted to try some and all I have to put it in is the 4oz tins, I thought I read somewhere that they may rust, but not sure if I am right, thanks for everyones help
-
what I just thought about was, they did not even have a label on it with any ingredients, its just nekid, no business card, label nothing, was gonna check for list of ingredients and nothing, I used it last night and to me there was no difference than in some I have made, it was not super hard or nothing, it has zero smell and does not lather well, I am gonna go back and see if I could get the ingredient list or something, that does not seem right, she has a large amount of this stuff not to have put ingredients on them or in the bag.

Thanks all, I will ask her if she does make her own lye, she had just some small chunks they were unscented and white as snow, that was all she sold soap wise, and said it would help the poison ivy, she sold it as lye soap and that was all, gonna check next time and thanks for the help. Guess I will try it tonight
-
I used some herbs I grew at home. Also in my opinion, from the ones I have made they leave no fragrance, I have only added lavender to mine from my garden and there was no scent in it at all, but it may be different for other herbs

Okay I know soap cannot be soap without lye, but my friend bought some soap that they claimed to be old time lye soap, now what I was wondering is.... Is there a difference in the homemade soap we make today and the LYE soap our grandmothers used to make? I told her I did not know and the lady insisted there was and told her that the plain lye soap she was selling would help with chiggers and poison ivy and to rub it on the spots and just leave it! Not sure if there is any trueth to that and figured I would ask you all if there was any trueth to anything she said. Thanks

thanks :smiley2: gonna go try some
-
okay here is the recipe but has anyone tried it subing the TRO 1 c. Baking Soda .5 c cornstarch .5 c fine sea salt .5 c SLSA 1.5 TBLS T.R.O. 1 TBLS Fragrance 1 c citric acid
-
If I wanted to make the recipe bubble instead of fizz, do I just sub the citric for SLSA, in the same amount that is called for?
-
found some thanks, went to ebay :smiley2: unless someonelese has a great place they would like to share for future reference
-
Where can I find these for 8oz? I saw someplace before but the price was not so good, need the ones that hold the scent in, polypro
-
Can this be bought local or if you use this where do you buy it, wanted to try to add it to my bath salt to holf the fo in, thanks
-
it was not the citric acid that got me it was the SLSA, it made me sneeze and gave me a runny nose for hours, LOL. Guess next time its the mask for sure.

-
Can I rebatch again, I have alot of soaps that just turned out too ugly! I will not use them so thought I could just shave them again and rebatch them with some other scraps, thanks:smiley2:
-
they are finally drying out now, I had to rub them down with a towel tho, cause they had sweat that looked like dew on a flower in the morning all over them so after wiping them all down they seem to be drying up, thanks all for the help:smiley2:
-
if those are the plastic ones, I do not line them but have sprayed them with pam and they have released for me pretty easy, only minimal amount stuck in the corners, but soaps can be shaved on edges to make them pretty again
-

So i read somewhere about oil, cyclo and FO, is that right for a spray? Or just use cyclo and FO? I am confused and the more I research the more confused I get.
-
yes I studied up on trying to make it and did decide that it was easier and cheaper to just buy it.
-
