LOL, i love the kids basket! i am sure the child will love it good luck with your orders.

Oh my god! you people on this board are really talented! and its cool you shared your recipe! much respect to the your creativity! i love these but don 't think i will try making them any time soon!

:smiley2:Waves back!!!

For starters like most people suggested, try a lip balm and a solid lotion bar. They're easy to make,

Also try making some whipped Shea, it really helps with the Ecezema HTH's

Hello all, i have not come here for a while, because i have been SO BUSSSY with things, but check whenever i can.

Any plans i had to get things done have to be put on the backburner until next year, but at least i am using the time to check suppliers.

When it comes to bases i have to order from the US or Canada, because i trust they have really been tested and are made by experts even though shipping prices are terrible...Anyway due to that reason to, for starters i can order only from one place at a time, between these 3 which have you tried and liked the most, i can't decide as they all seem really good and with a wide variety of bases,

1)Essential wholesale

2)Rainshadow labs

3) Aquatech skincare (do those ship internationally out of the US and Canada actually??)

Also if anyone has advise on international shipping, i would appreciate it if you do share the experience.

Thanks in advance and take care!

Your set looks beautiful!!!

They all look so pretty! nice pictures!

Thank you all for the comments, i guess i will change the font next time i do more of these. BTW the rest of the information is on the back labels which i did not picture. i won't be selling anything before i try and see how i still like them after a few months!

Thanks all...well send more pictures when i do ones with an easier to read font

I think any easily absorbent oil would act as a body gloss. I have mostly seen sunflower oil, and soybean oil used, in products saying body gloss, instead of body oil. Maybe it is just a bit of marketing.

Hello :wave:, it has been a while since i posted. I meant to post these before but i only fixed my camera recently. These tubes are going to be for personal use (otherwise i would change the scent names).

But what do you guys think of the labeling (other than it should be aligned properly) i had the same label for all the tubes, but i changed some things for the 'sonoma blush' and 'delightful berry cream one)

TIA

Thanx for the tip Sue, cyclo is a new material to me, i tried the scents with a solid perfume base and they bloomed out right away....so was probably thinking i want the sam with the spray...hmmm was going to do the normal kind of bombs but found a recipe with cyclo so i think i'd try that!

LOL, i have no idea why it would not smell when i first made it, but then when i put it in the fridge for a while, i took it out and the scent was there when i sprayed it.

...I do not know what kind of issues the lady has...but what is the use of opening a business if you don't want to get as many clients as possible. that is just strange.

I think you should stick to sents with a peppermint base, maybe you could do peppermint mixed with compatible scents but i wouldn't put candy or fruity scents for a foot line. and again it is a personal prefrence

sorry can't find the edit button and don't mean to board hog today!!!

UPDATE

I placed my mix in the fridge (its 47C hre today but not indoors) and that seemed to have fixed the problem! :-)

well in grams i used 40gms Cyclo, and 5 grams of FCO then around 10 ml of FO...and though the bottle is very fragrant when i sprayed it on i could hardly smell the scent.

I added more FO but it only slightly imporved the scent...what am i doing wrong...or should i just let it sit for a while??

I found a place that ships to my country and it was aussiesoapsupplies the owners are superb people, and everything is so neatly packed and nothing spilled or broke.

Now here is my question to people who had tried this before. i want to make a dry spray on oil, using it and FCO.

I am mixed up as some places recommand using equal parts of Cyclo and FCO, while others recommand a 6:1 ratio. Which should i begin experimenting with, if it was so easy to get more without paying an arm and leg for shipping i would try both but i want this to be as right as possible today (sorry i'm just too excited)

Thanx in advance....well be making bath bombs tonigh and hopefully posting my first picture

Has anyone out of the Us, ordered from this company. i liked their website, but after placing items in the shipping cart to check the shipping prices, i found something that would cost $4 becoming $74 with shipping, and they do not give many options other than UPS......the only way to make shipping cost less than the products was if i was going to roder $3000 worth of goods from their:shocked2:

does anyone know if this company has other shipping options?

I am a bit far away from opening a shop, but i was wondering for toiletries what are the pros and cons of each.

I figured one of the cons of a virtual store if you sell toiletries is people cannot sniff, or feel your products.

But then again i like the idea much better than a real store, (shopr rents, theft, hygine matters when those obnoxious ppl decide to sneeze all over your goods without covering their mouths (it happens often and hence why i hate going out to crowded places))

what do you think?

oh dear! thanks for letting me know though!

Hi, i know this is a silly question to some, but i have never used credit cards before as believe it or not in my country, most people sledom used it before the past two or three years.

However i ordered a while ago from an online suppllier, then cancelled my order because they took their time to reply, and i still don't see a refund (i know they take a percentage to restock, but the whole amount is still missing) this was last Tuesday, and my credit account is still the same, so i was wondering how many days it usually takes, i'd like to end this in a civil manner with them.

Sorry for the late reviews on this, but the past few days where hectic over here...but today i found enough males to test four of the men's FO's i ordered, and they all liked Very sexy for him the most...

Polo Sport-i liked this, to me it smelled like there is a fresh minty smell, and one of the guys said it is very close to the original (but this is OOB so maybe in product it would come out even better)

Cool water- all the guys took their time to determine if this is similar (and they all use the original) and the conclusion was it is almost there but not quite...when i test this in product will tell you more.

Blue sugar-OOB this was very strong for everyone, yet they all want products with this scent now, it is sweet yet strong and one of the guys thought it had some whisky undertones....

Very sexy for him-OOB this was soft yet lovely two of the guys liked it, the others could not decide and one thought it was too light. but it smelled perfumey and sexy.

I re-ordered a cream base from a supplier recently, and i know it is nice and thick, and thought it would be better in a tube than jars (which is what i have) but i cannot find anyone who supplies these, does anyone have and ideas?

TIA

PS (i mean the tubes that look like toothpaste tubes not the push up kinds etc...)

Try this site, not sure if it is cheaper though, depends on how much you are ordering.

Try to always test if you are selling to the public, saves money in the long run.

but yes you can replace the water phase, with aloe juice, lavender or rose water or anything watery that taks your fancy...but you still have to test

Good luck!
