Not quite sure what you are looking for but this is what I turned up when I searched,Not a wholesaler though

Testing is something you would need to have done for your lotion before you could consider selling them

Pre made bases are less hastle but I guess you need to ask yourself why you started this to begin with

Was it to make a better product ? Homemade with all natrual ingredients is always better . You will be more proud of the end product and will feel confident that you are doing the best for your customers.

Not to lnock those of you who use premade bases, not sure if there are any that sure all natrual but I imagine they could be expensive.

I make my own lotion for personal use and the cost is minimal..as I make a simple one oil lotion and love it.

Just my opinion:grin2:

Its funny, When I woke up this morning I was thinking, the words that really draw me are pure - serenity - essentials.

K.D. Essentials sounds sharp and to the point could be a store name

Pure Serenity is also very good, sounds like a brand name.

Pure Essentials is another choice

Thanks for the link, I was there once and have made many lists and have hundreds of words, I may go backk and start again. like you said deciding is the problem, but I have been asking people what they think of certain names

my husband says no to almost everything except

Wild oaks - but doesn't say anything about business

some think I should go country some think more traditional

Mom likes K.D. Essentials

pure essence- nice

Just found out that my gramma used to make soap and perfume in the old days...my mother reminded me that I too am a grandma and suggested

Granny's oldtime soaps & such -oooh no- But how funny that granny was a hidden inspiration of sorts.

Jewelry, soaps and soy wax candles & tarts at the moment are what I am making, smelly jelly ..

K.D. Essentials

Pure Essence

Essentials by Kat

Ok, now I am totally depressed

Have't done search yet. Not sure how to do that but will be working on that today

Thanks for the heads up.

Be wary of making to large a batch of lotions at a time

i have made a few that turned out like shortening...sooo greasy and lotions have to be sent out to be tested i believe,,,I only make lotion for personal use

my favorite lotion is more like a cream and took me a heep of searching and experimenting

It's a simple recipe of virgin coconut oil, water, baking soda Stearic and germabenII Which I had to tweek a bit.

I get supplies from mms and wsp

For soaps I use oils I can get locally

Asfar as adding eo's to hp or cp soaps, I believe most of us use 1/2 ounce per lb of oils

I used 1 oz Fo per 3 lbs soap and was too strong for me, but being as you do not wrap homespun soap the fragrance will lessen over time...some put cured soap in a box with a scented cotton ball..I haven't tried yet.

I think soap is the easiest to start with...everybody needs soap and homespun soap is the best. Do your home work before beginning this as it can be dangerous using lye. Deffinatly run recipe through soapcalc to get proper lye and water amounts. If using melt&pour soap-wsp silk & shea has been my fav. Stephensons base does not lather and my customers hate it.

That's why I started making my own soap.

My basics For lotions and soaps & what not

Coconut oil

olive oil

palm oil

canola oil

sunflower oil

cocoa butter

jojoba oil

caster oil

germabenII

Hope this was helpful:wink2:

Mrs Bubbles ( hubby's suggestion

I have been doing alot of reflecting lately remembering what possessed me to start making jewelry and such.

Well, I entered a wirewrapping contest to make a jeweled egg that I thought was something that Was way out of my league, I didn't want to spend anymore money on supplies so i used what i had at home and made this monstrosity of a beaded wrapped egg and I won first prize -$500 in jewelry supplies...I was shocked. My daughter named this piece of work..Pretty in Pink...the name is much better than the piece.

one day a friend called to ask if I needed any candles from party lite...too expensive I thought

So I decided to make my own which turned into Candles,tarts and smelly jelly jars.

Then Soap started with hubby's severe dry skin, Alot of research later I decided to try my hand at soaping and love it and he loves the soap

Rag quilts worked their way in somewhere but the cost of flannel has kept me from going hole hog on that...Can't sell them for what it's worth.

So as I sit here I want to thank all of you for your suggestions

I think I will be narrowing it down next week to three names and see where that leads me.

Iif you could bare with me for another moment and give your first choice from all the suggestions or one of your own I would be so thankful

Have a supper holiday

Kathy

#1 is super

feels breezy and friendly , inviting, draws me in.

# 2 seems a bit flat

#3 is also nice _ I like the way the tree is blooming out of the center

I would try that tree from #3 thing in #1 to bring design alive a bit more

Not thats its not...the colors with the grapes are very pleasing

Just think tree in #1 looks squished.

Just my thoughts

Hmmm still thinking

jadryga & beloved? How did it go?

Did you have a chance to make this and how did it turn out?

I have not tried this with melt and pour soap only hp i made a few weeks ago.

I am just starting out making jewelry, tart melts, candles, and now soap

My busi name was supposed to be Passion Lane -get the feeling -but now that someone has brought to my attention that it sounds like a lingere shop, I will need to change it

I live in the city but my side of the street is rual, we have an acre, like being in the country

I am a blue jean gal

I will be specializing in swarovski birthstone bracelets and earrings

I make a hp soap and soy tarts and candles, also smelly jelly jars have been a big hit.

My mind is blank

only thing in my head is Kathy's Corner

Need some suggestions

thanks

.05% of 8 oz = .04 oz or about 1/4 tsp ( preservative)

ewax is an emusifier wax, it will keep all blended I believe.. I would not use beeswax.

.05% of 8 oz is .04 oz = about 1/4 tsp for preservative amount
