  1. ok i have spent a week searching for a perfect recipe and practicing...I found a scrumptious "body souffle" from someone a while back & kept the ingrediant list.... however I cant seem to find a recipe close to it. I dont want a butter cuz I dont want anything greasy. I want something light & fluffy and soft for your skin. I searched beyond these boards and cant find anything. I thought for sure there would be something here but I m not finding alot...anyone have a recipe they would share? Thank you:yes:

  2. What about bubble packs?? I usually use those for small things.

    that wouldn't work when you have an 8oz scrub or 1 or 2 jumbo bath bombs or a bubble bar....I need to protect the fragil items. thanks though.

  3. Ok so I try to ship my products always via usps priority mail...for a couple of reasons. However if someone just orders 1 or 2 products from me the smallest priority box that is a full square is still too big. I am not sure what else to use. I love that its free and I dont have to wrap or write on it with priority info.

    If someone only orders one scrub etc... what should I use??? Normally I dont have to worry about this but had 2 boxes which was just plain silly with all the filling I had to put in there . :rolleyes2

  4. This looks like and "emulsified body butter". Maybe if you use this in a search, you will find what you are looking for. I have used them but don't make them. Sorry I can't be more help.

    YA NOT SURE ABOUT THIS ONE - ALL I KNOW IS ITS GREAT FOR MY SKIN SO I WANTED TO MAKE MY OWN...I HAVE MADE SOUFFLE BEFORE BUT THIS IS BETTER . THANKS :wink2:

  5. Selling a few items on eBay is different than opening an eBay 'Store'. The Store isn't cheap, and no, I don't see a real advantage to it. For the price you pay eBay for the store and the percentage you pay them for final auction values, you could have a webhosting service and a complete storefront.

    exactly my thoughts...i have one and for the same price i could have a real website...i just gotta find one i like. i am not into primitive or country style so the affordable ones out there are not my persoanl taste. i keep playing with my picture software that lets you build a site...but im so critical that i can;t get it perfect.

  6. Ok.. Let me clarify my thoughts.. When you say you're selling it, are you meaning you want to sell the soya in the classifieds, or are you looking to sell your end product to customers already..

    lol no not sell to customers. im going to get rid of the product because im too picky. personally i dont like the actual soya product. i would not sell something that i didn't test, like, & give out to testers first.

  7. I, too, made this same mistake. I tried it without thinking about the logic (hydrogenated soybean oil = Crisco). I made one batch and haven't decided what to do with the rest. I think I dumped a huge amount of dry flow or natrasorb in just to make it useable for myself. I hate wasting stuff!!

    me too hate wasting it...i even tried usin it for shaving-yuck. when i added my dry flow to it...it has a gritty fealing too it. so not sure what happend to the whole mix then. i think this isn't the type of butter for me. so now its going to be for sale...I have a 1lb:rolleyes2

  8. Okay, I apparently have no clue what it is...huh. I'm out of the loop on this one. Weird, hard but greasy. Huh.

    i didn't think i said it was "hard" sorry....no i added a hard butter to it like it stated in the recipe. i dont know i guess i will try to sell it since its not for me.

  9. this soya butter came to me as flakes....its pretty greasy to the touch even at that...however when i mix it & then add oil and another hard buttwer it looks so nice & pretty like butter but its like butter on your skin...i mean that in a bad way. more like a crisco or marg. on the skin LOL i had to use dawn to wash it off LOL

  10. Where did you get this stuff? The only soy butter I know of is a soybean oil that has been hydrogenated chemically, which means it's going to be terribly greasy, just like Crisco. Can you give us more specs on it?

    Okay, did some more searching, and if you are using actual hydrogenated "soy butter", then you are pretty much using Crisco, which is what Crisco IS. Lots of soapers use it for a hard bar, but I just can't imagine that you would make a butter that wasn't greasy using that as your main ingredient. Maybe as a smaller percentage, with shea or some other softish butter as your main ingredient, then a little soy butter as an additive, but I don't know, I just can't see it being nongreasy no matter what you do. Someone correct me if I'm way off base, please.

    im using soya butter from kangaroo blue...so watch out! i just got it on Monday.
