Well of course I am not experienced so my best guess is that I am pouring at a thin to medium trace, as the soap cures it starts to take on a rough surface on top almost like I purposely textured it, but I didn't...I can post a pic tomorrow but its not a pretty site, almost too embarrassed to post it:laugh2:

I have made 2 batches of CP Soap. I really enjoy making it. Problem is the last batch looks bumpy on top, not smooth at all. Why is this? I like the way Care bears soap looks but I have a problem trying to achieve it, Do you CP or what? Do you use a stick blender with your method or whisk..Thanks for any advice

Jenni that is gorgeous, Great look for the holidays, Is the fo, cookies for santa or something similar:yay: Your soap rocks

I wanted to make quiet girls basic soap. I ordered Palm kernal flakes, the only ingredient that I didn't have. I got it today and was shocked at the texture. This looks like shea butter....Is it suppose to look like flakes... Help me out here, not sure if this is the right stuff in the pail, LOL

What is a poo bar? And how do you use it for shampoo, rub it on your head....

QUESTION: How can we turn our liquid soap that we learnt how to make on this site into a shower gel? Any suggestions

I really respect the advice from you ladies, so here comes a question about this recipe... Premium Shampoo 68.4% Water 30.0% Blend NBB 0.1% Fragrance 0.1% preservative 1.60% Salt ( used for thickness) Add Q Pearl for the pearly look Citric Acid- amount needed to have your ph 6.5-7.5 ( required>0.1%) Here come the questions. I got this recipe from a site that I normally order most of my supplies from, basically because the shipping is not high since I live with 100 miles of the business. Is the salt referred to in this recipe table salt. There is no mention on the site...Can someone convert the percentage into ounces for me. I would like to try this recipe. I want to add shampoo to my Southern Silk Essentials Line...All answers appreciated. Connie:embarasse

Wonderful and remember when you hit it big I do hand lotions, LOL

what is the website?

I have a company that is wanting to buy my lotion for resell. This pump is 8oz. I normally sell it for $10.00 and I have alot of return business. What should the price be for wholesale. I of course need to make money but I don't want to over price and lose this client. Any suggestions? Connie:highfive:

I have an idea...Let's take the whipped frosting and add the apricot meal to it...I believe if we added more oils to thin it up just a little then it would come out of a malibu...Any ideas on this suggestion?:highfive:

Hi Island Girl, I am an insurance agent. All companies that you do business with ( such as craft show hosts ) can require to be added as additional insured. That is the whole purpose of carrying insurance. It protects them also and their costs want be as high if you carry your own coverage. The certificate of liability is at no cost to you and the insurance company should be able to fax it to the craft show or you within minutes.:highfive:

looks great thanks for sharing

On fundraisers the price stays the same...but for wholesale you need to give a little because of the large orders...I don't give much of a break because of everything going up....

You did a wonderful job, I love how consistent the swirls remain without looking like a blob....Great job!

I am so sorry that it took me so long to respond. This is a rat race out here. LOL Here goes. and may I say I don't know who posted this recipe but it is some where on this site and it is the best lip balm you will ever have... 1.5 oz Beeswax 1.5 oz shea butter 2 oz Almond Oil 1 Vitamin E capsule 1 tsp FO melt and pour This stuff actually after using for a couple days makes your lips feel plumper, its the bomb...no joke:highfive:

you did an excellent job. Can this soap also be used in the shower or is it just for the hands

I don't use either and I have great results. I bought a plastic mold at hobby lobby for candy and I use it..

I took the recipe off this site for lotion bars and used it for lip balms because I believe most of the lip balm recipes are too hard. This turned out to be the best plan ever. Everyone loves the lip balms now. Just thought you might want to try the plan.

girls, I made the bombs today for the first time and they turned out wonderful, wished I had my camera at home today. I will take pics tomorrow for yall..I have them shaped like charubs, snow flakes and the irish triangle. They are great, thanks for the recipe.:highfive: I scented them with sandalwood rose, wowowwo

Thanks for the class lesson coco I do appreciate it...:highfive:

Beautiful, smooth and clean looking. You go girl

Yeah Queen give me a recipe for lotion with lard, LOL I am not at all experienced here. When you say tweak, I say What do I have to tweak but other peoples knowledge, I don't have any on this, hahahahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa

Here comes the dumb questions: 1st is crisco and lard the same? 2nd can I sub the cetyl Alcohol with anything? Sorry beginner here and learning

Thank you for sharing your pics. I know it is time consuming but we all really enjoy seeing other peoples pics..they are very nice.
