Very very nice.

If someone is going to get my money for a recipe, I want it to pay for their hard work, not because they know how to paste and cut on their computer.

I couldn't agree more. It think it's a shame that we have to be so careful because some idiot could take our formulation and sell it for their own profit. Nevermind that it took you six months to perfect!!

It's Majestic Mountain Sage:

Thanks, I found it. It's probably a very moisturizing scrub.

Daystar's Precious Memories. The best!

Very nice! I love the red bow.

Blackberry jam butter cookie could be called thumbprint cookies.

Has anyone used cocoa oil? I just ordered some strictly because I was curious.

I would try it and see. It would be an add on for your existing customers, or you might attract people with soap that weren't looking for candles. I would have soaps in the same fragrances as my candles so that when a customer falls in love with a scent you could mention "i also have that fragrance in soap..."

Ladysj, would you post your recipe please?

I like a combo as well. I do about 2:1 regular sugar to turbinado. I have also used brown sugar and turbinado together. I like that best.

Nope. From what I understand they grab recipes off other's sites and publish them. What recipe looked good? Maybe someone here knows where to find it.

I got mine from Sunburst Bottle.

Daystar is my favorite. I'm going to end up putting her kid through college.

Here's another at $4.50/oz.

The jars look great. If you're selling these though, I wouldn't sell a shower/bath product in glass. It can get slippery, be dropped and then you have glass shards in the shower.

Thanks!

I can't find you there! What's your store name?

Oops! Sorry.

Where do you sell? I'd buy from you!

Do you mean just mixing lotion and sugar together?

The glow in the dark powder is sold here:

I totally forgot about the PEG oils. I also have PEG mac oil and have used it in bath bombs. It's great stuff.

Couple of things. First a scale is totally necessary in soaping. You run your recipe through the lye calc and if it's off, well it can either become lye heavy (ouch!) or just yucky and oily. Or about a million other things! Get a scale and you'll be much more successful.

When you resized the recipe did you run it through the lye calc again or just resize the amount of lye and water like the oils?

You should also get a stick blender. It will be your new best friend!

Don't give up. Soap is so fun and with those few changes I'll bet you get it down.

I don't know a good sub for that. Turkey red is used because it is miscible in water.
