EarthScents

Hello all! Has anyone tried bulkoils.com? Just curious as to the quality of their fo's. Their prices seem to be really good.

Thank you all very much for your help. You know, my husband said the same thing,"what's wrong with earthscents?". I can't claim all natural cause I do have f/o's and preservatives in there, but the earth part of earthscents gives it a natural ring to your ears.

We live in Florida, that's why I wanted something that was tropical. Thank you for your reply.

I have been making bath and body products(lotions, butters, massage oils, cp soap) for years now for me and my family. A co-worker tried my stuff and loved it and passed it on to a spa owner. Now she would lilke to try my products in her spa. Long story short, I have made the samples that she wanted to try in her spa and want to get them labeled. I have been trying to come up with a business name this past week and I am at a loss!

I would like something with skin, dermal, nourishing, nutrient, or anything tropical sounding or playing on my initials (B & P). Maybe even B & P Originals or Coconut Palm (something). I use tamanu oil in my lotion and thought of incorprating that in the name too somehow. I am all over the board on this and am open for anything you guys can throw at me!

I mainly want something that sounds a little upscale but a little in the middle as well. Please help me!

Thanks you guys!:smiley2:

I don't know if you all have seen this site or not but I wanted to share it. There are alot of yummy looking recipes on there. I have made the glorious lotion recipe in the past and it is amazing!! Just wanted to share!

I wonder if the baking soda will dry out your skin? I don't know much about baking soda as far as body products go. What are the benefits of the cornstarch?

Thank you so much. You had the answer I was looking for. I"ve got some yogurt and honey powder in my supply closet I've been eyeing*super banana*so I will have fun this weekend!

Hello to all. I seen a milk bath recipe that calls for powered milk, cornstarch, baking soda and fo and was wondering what the basic ingredients for a milk bath are...besides the milk powder obviously? I am thinking of getting rid of the baking soda and cornstarch and putting in other powders, maybe like yogurt powder but since I am new to milk baths, I don't know what is essential ingredients in them? Looking to spice it up a bit!

Congrats and welcome to the addictive and never boring wonderful world of soapmaking!!

I do still need to add to it. I did want to add links to my candles listed on the right side of the site. All the things you guys are talking about I have contemplating on fixing. I cant get rid of that stupid navigation bar either. I think I just need to throw in the towel and upgrade my account. There are too many options I don't have access to under my current account. And those darn pop-ups!!!

I know what you mean. I have a pop-up blocker on my computer so I really don't notice it. I don't know how to avoid that unless I go with another webhost. If anyone knows another way to rid the annoying pop-ups, please share.

Hello to all. I would like opinions on my website, again (sorry but I totally re-did it). As always, any opinions and comments are more than welcome. Pop-ups will probably be there so I will apologize in advance for them. Thanks to all!

Thank you all for your opinions as I have found them all helpful. It ia a work in progress and thanks for helping me with the fine-tuning!

Good point about the oils and butters. I am planning on getting all the little bugs with it worked out in the next few days. The pop ups are very annoying I know and I cant get ride of 'em. My camera is not too good and it bugs me that there are some pics on there that I know could be better. I am so new to this and am learning web design as I go. It's been crazy and challenging but I do like challenge. Thank you all for the feedback. I welcome it with open arms.

No, I'm glad to get feedback. It is good to get new sets of eyes on my web pages:grin2:

Hello to all. I have been away from the boards for awhile working on my website. I have missed you all and your wealth of info.

Being new to websites, this task took a little longer than anticipated. I am excited to be done with it and want opinions from you all. Please check it out and let me know what you all think of it, honestly.

Congrats and I love your site!!!

Yep, I have heard it clogs pores too and am too scared to use it for that reason.

I figured as much. Thanks anyway!

Where would you buy this stuff locally? I know about the Chemistry Store but was looking for somewhere like Lowe's or the Depot. Thanks:grin2:

Hello. I think that sugar scrubs look really nice in a jar. I use plastic jars (better for people in the shower environment in case it is dropped) and mine are 8 oz. Being that water will likely be introduced into the mixture, you would need a preserv., something like Liquapar Optima. Check Bunny's perserv. post on top of this forum. It has beneficial info on preserv's.

SKS Bottle does have them and they are quick in shipping out your order.

Thank you. Yes, I am using the liquid version. I wanted a real silky lotion and hope that this works. Cross your finger for me!

I was wondering how much of this I should use for my recipe. My recipe is for 32 oz. of lotion. I will probably have to post recipe, right? Well, here it is

8T shea butter

3T almond oil

4T oo

3T emu wax

3T Liquid glycerin

3C aloe vera

Please help!

I was wondering about that also and thankfully, I do have some of that on hand. Thanks!
