    Has any of your FOs been tested in Cold Processed Soap? I know on your site it says body safe, but I was wondering if they are CP soap safe?
  3. singleyellowrose
    What kinda oils you gonna use?
  4. singleyellowrose
    As long as it is bath & body safe you should be fine. Remember though, some FOs can discolor your lotions as well as soaps. I use aluminum bottles and don't color my lotions for that reason. One less ingredient, more label room, and it won't show through the aluminum.

    Grapeseed doesn't have a long shelf life. You could use any light oil, but do understand it will change the feel. Ones that come to mind are: Apricot Kernal Oil Sunflower Oil Safflower Oil You could also use regular coconut although it may make it a tad harder.

    Which one did you order?

    What i do is kinda wiggle/squeeze them again the thicker edge each divider before i pull them out.. it seems to loosen the soap from them. Most times after that I can pull them out without pliers.

    Here's a website that has reviews of their FOs. I know someone posted about them but i can't find the thread now. http://www.freewebs.com/captmike/gemliteforeviews.htm Gemlite's website is: www.gemlite.com

    GORGEOUS! I bet it smells divine! And I am sure I am killing the pronounciation of it as well. Is that a Kelsei mold soap? Sure looks like it is!

    I LOVE that EO blend. Mebbe this would help with a name. It's a blend of Patchouli, Cedarwood, Cinnamon Leaf, Lemongrass, Sweet Orange.

    For all of you who are new to CP soaping, I thought I would post this here. Most of the ingredients you can find in your local grocery store. It makes a nice soap that doesn't break the budget. KISS=Keep It Simple Stupid! 25% Lard 25% Olive 25% Sunflower OR Safflower 25% PKO-(or a combo of it and coconut, but don't exceed 25%)

    Mine have usually taken about3-4 weeks from the time they are paid for. BUT I do know that they make most of them to order and do not usually have a stock on hand.

    I use FBB right now & make it mostly for myself. I am in the process of trying to make my own Foaming Facial Scrub. However, you could do an emulsifying scrub and add the scrubbies that way. What oils/butters do you have on hand at present? That makes it a bit easier to help you come up with a formula to use.
  14. singleyellowrose
    IMHO, sugar in a facial scrub would be pretty rough. I use cornmeal and ground oats in mine.

    Yes Julia.. i think you need a straight jacket! I absolutely DETEST rebatching.
  16. singleyellowrose
    Hey Ducky! Thanks. I figured it was pretty much like that, but thought I had better ask to make sure. I've been a member here, I just don't post much because I am still learning candles/wax/wicks.. and working with a wax I can get locally. Gotta love not having to pay shipping!
  17. singleyellowrose
    What type of warning label would I put on these? I'm still pretty new to candles and have done alot of reading here. I've learned quite a bit from all the experts and had some giggles along the way. Thanks!

    If you want to try soy wax in one, take a standard lotion bar recipe and sub out 5% beeswax & 5% hard butter with soy wax. Make a small batch and keep good notes. Let it firm up and try it. If you want it harder add the 5% butter back in. Let it firm up and try again. Then keep adjusting and adding to your notes til you get what you want. Then add some FO.

    The one I make has a bit of water in it. There are some at the Whisk in the recipe forum. I have tried Mo's and it feels good. Here's another thread you can check out. There's a few there that sounded pretty good. http://www.the-whisk.us/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2358&highlight=foot+butter It totally depends on what type of feel you want. Plus what oils/butters you have on hand to play with.
  20. singleyellowrose
    Do you want something along the lines of a foot butter that would include water or would you prefer an all oil/butter formula?
  21. singleyellowrose
    What kind of balm are you wanting to make?
  22. singleyellowrose
    I use coffee butter in a body butter. The scent does come through somewhat so you gotta pick an FO that blends well with it. Black cocoa butter is nice in bath melts, especially around Valentine's day. Some scent will come through, but i always enhance that with some FO. Kokum is my favorite butter. I like it much better than Cocoa. However, the general public doesn't "know" Kokum, but they do know Cocoa. Gotta work on educating the general public on the benefits of butters besides Cocoa.

    40% Lard or Palm 20% Olive 20% Coconut 10% Shea 10% Almond

    Put it away for about 3 months. Then get it back out and try it! It MAY not be quite as slimy as it is now. AND if you need to knock someone out, just wail a bar at them!
  25. singleyellowrose
    You would actually have to make it, but in the process of doing so, weigh each ingredient. Then figure the %s from there.
