  1. Your label is highly impressive what size labels and malibu tubes if you are ok telling? Labeling is a nightmare for me on everything
  2. not sure if you have a bloom's grocery store in your area or not but they have grapeseed oil, ako, coconut(organic)oil, sunflower, safflower but that is about all
  3. What do you ladies use to thicken liquid soap. I use crothix and don't really like it
  4. Very nice....how much pumice do you add for 48 ounces of soap

  11. girl I wished mine would look that good, great job
  12. I like the boston round 8oz at www.chemistrystore.com I make the whipped frosting and place it in these with the pump, works great.
  13. I got this recipe from teachsoap.com. I would like opinions on it before I make itBody Bronzing Lotion Ingredients:4.5 oz. Jojoba 1.0 oz. Evening Primrose Oil 0.3 oz. Emulsifying wax 0.2 oz. Beeswax 8.0 oz. Distilled water 0.14 oz. Phenonip preservative or GermabenII Micas: Cappuccino, Gold, Light Gold and Copper mica Makes 14 oz. of bronzing lotion. Instructions:1. Add the Emulsifying Wax, Beeswax, Jojoba and Evening Primrose Oil to either a double boiler or microwave safe cup. 2. Melt all the waxes and oils together. Attempt not to boil the product. 3. Add the Distilled Water to the heated oils and waxes. Stir all ingredients well and combine the two bowls/mixing glasses. 4. Stir all ingredients well and combine the two bowls/mixing glasses. 5. Add the Phenonip. 6. Use a stick blender to emulsify and mix the oils and waxes. Note: This product will not set up until it is fully cooled. Do not pour into containers (containers with a pump are recommended) until you are certain that the lotion is fully blended and will not separate. 7. Once you are certain the product is fully blended and will not separate, add the micas. Always add less than you think you will want to use - you can always add more but can't take the color out. I used 1 full tablespoon of Light Gold Mica, 1/2 tablespoon Cappuccino Mica and 1 teaspoon of Copper Mica. 8. Hand blend this mixture with a spoon or small whisk. You can use the stick blender if the mixture hasn't set up too much. The ratio of micas that you use will depend on your skin tone. My best friend who made the recipe with me used three times as much Cappuccino mica and almost no copper in her recipe since she is much darker than I am in skin tone. Remember, this is a make up product (in addition to acting as a lotion) and will get on your clothes like any other bronzer will. It washes out fairly well. If you have very dark skin, get some Black Oxide as well and add it sparingly to the Cappuccino mica to darken the mixture up. .
  14. Those are great and next time let the rest of us gals go, we need time toooo:(
  15. I am having the same problem after using palm oil instead of lard, it has been 3 days and it still isn't hard:laugh2:

  17. Care bear, I made the CP soap recipe again that QG posted. This time I let the butters/oil cool down before adding the lye...I have a new situation..I know you are gonna want to throw me off this board before long. This time 24 hours later it is not hard yet, it is like real mushy, and has alot of white powder on top, help:confused: I did not add any fo as my husband wanted some to use with no scent before he goes hunting. I have not taken it out of the mold yet because its not hard enough....And what is the white powder on top?
  18. Thank you so much. I am definitely adding the lye before the butters and oils cool down. I honestly thought you had too. Thank you ladies.............I Love yall!:highfive:
  19. Your soap looks real nice...I try but I just can't get it right, maybe someday:highfive:
  20. I have a mold from logan bear....It gets pretty warm...Care bear do you heat your oils on low and then turn the heat off and start mixing your lye and water, then mix it in...
