Cindy, Can the Dry Flo be substituted with anything or will it change the texture? If I order anything else my husband is gonna kill me:tiptoe: I love this site, I am having a ball do something for the first time that I truly enjoy and watching you girls do a fantastic job with your creations. Connie

Thank you so much Sandra

OK girls, how in the world do I convert. I am just starting. I made the whipped frosting, turned out great. Now onto the bunny bootylious stuff and I don't know how much to use. starters 57% Aloe juice how much is that 3% glycerin how much is that how do I convert, not by any means a math wizz here. I can measure if I know what to measure, LOL

Your soaps always look great, and edible. Way to Go! I tried the whipped frosting and everyone loves it. I sold out immediately..Thanks for the advice and recipe of course:p

Thanks for the comments, I would have to say the diaper rash cream is excellent...Please remember not to use any peppermint flavor for the pregnant mom or any child under 6 months. Don't add any red dyes to any of the recipes, because alot of young children are allergic to the dye...Hope you enjoy

You girls have been kind enough to give me some wonderful recipes and I would like to return the favor.Please remember that pregnant women should not use peppermint fo's at all.These products should not be used on baby's under 6 months...Hope you enjoy! Diaper Rash Ointment that was posted 2 oz calendula infused oil 1 oz beeswax 1 oz shea butter 1 oz avocado oil Vit E HOME MADE DIAPER RASH CREAM Most diaper rash creams on the market today are formulated on the basis of bee's wax, and many do-it-yourself recipes contain the same ingredient. Vegan parents may use jojoba oil instead. This oil is perfect for baby skin due to its great nutritional properties. Its structure is very close to human sebum so it is easily absorbed. Jojoba oil allows the skin to breathe, unlike other oils. It nourishes the skin and moisturizes it at the same time. To further enhance these beneficial properties add 5 drops of tea tree or lavender essential oil (both act as anti-bacterial agents) for every 2 ounces of oil. Wheatgerm oil with its naturally high Vitamin E content complements this jojoba oil mixture. Adding a few drops will also help preserve this product. Pure Vitamin E Oil is a good alternative if you cannot find wheatgerm oil. HOME MADE BABY WIPES To make your own wipes, mix one fourth cup of almond or olive oil with two cups of distilled water and one fourth cup of baby shampoo (choose a natural brand). To this, add 8 drops of lavender essential oil and 5 drops of tea tree oil (optional). Now, prepare a roll of paper towels to become baby wipes. First, cut it in half. You now have two short rolls. Remove the cardboard center. Place a short roll in an airtight, waterproof container (you can use an old baby wipe box or a tupperware container) and pour the solution over the towels. Put the lid back on the box and turn it upside down so the solution is absorbed. Alternatively, if you use cloth or flannel wipes, keep the solution in a jar or spray bottle and apply as needed. HOME MADE BABY OIL You can make your own natural baby oil using pure almond oil, which is hypoallergenic and has a slightly warming effect on the body, aiding relaxation. If your baby is allergic to seed and nut oils, you can use olive oil as a base instead. For babies older than 6 months, you may wish to experiment by adding a few drops of essential oil to the base oil. Excellent choices for babies include lavender (to achieve a relaxing, sedative effect), geranium (to ease nervous tension and to counteract negative moods), myrrh (to ease coughs, colds, and bronchitis - also beneficial for digestive problems such as colic in infants), and ylang ylang (use sparingly for a highly relaxing and uplifting effect). Here is one for baby powder: 2 cups cornstarch 1/8 tsp. Chamomila powder 1/8 Comfrey Root powder (optional) a pinch of lavender powder Mix all ingredients and put in a powder shaker.

Non profit does not pay taxes and you can't charge them any..also over sea's does not have taxes and you don't charge in this instance either

That is a great fundraiser idea and I hope that you in turn receive alot of repeat business...

I like the combination Looks very nice

You are starting to get real creative like SoapFreak:D Those look real good....

I really appreciate you putting the size of the labels on here. I cut mine to fit and this overlap will make it simplier....I try to save money to keep the cost down..Thanks:D

OK Michelle, I am extremely confused because I am new at this I guess, when you state 40%, how much is that 1 cup or what:D and at the bottom you speak about 4.5 goat milk, where is the goat milk in the recipe, help me girl

You did a wonderful job, looks creamy yet firm and I bet they smell wonderful. I truly have to compliment you on the labels also. What a nice presentation

that is beautiful work...post some pics after the cut. I would love to see them

Is this just boiled water or do you buy yours:wink2: sounds dumb right, but I really dont know, lol Connie

this is realllly going to sound stupiddddd! Is distilled water ( boiled water) or do you buy the distilled water:wink2:

I just found out that I am gonna be a grandma:D I would love to have a recipe for shampoo (tearless) and body lotion for the new grand child...Does anyone have something that I can use for my new addition say for when this new arrival turns around 6mths old...I would dearly appreciate any recipes...Connie

From what I understand Helen, and thats not alot...It is a mixture of your lotion and aloe vera gel...layered in the jar...add some color to your lotion.

Can you tell me if there is a difference between lotion parfait and the body frosting recipe

Thank you so much...that is a creative idea....:embarasse

how do you place the other colors on the slab, are you using tubes or what...your stuff is so neat

You can purchase the citric acid at the grocery store, but remember it is in the canning section and is labeled Fruit Fresh...same thing as the citric acid:D

Very Good. I believe you will have no trouble selling them..

I have a friend that distributes honey in our area, he asked if I wanted the beeswax for my candle making. I have always ordered this from companies.. If I accept his offer, is there a special process for making the beeswax more safe for use in cosmetics...And is there a process to which the beeswax goes through before it can be used to make candles? Any advice would be greatly appreciated...I have always thought that the beeswax encountered some type of process before being sold..Is there a difference between the pure or not?

hmmmm... Here are some names, but of course you don't have to take my advice... Mardi Gras Dreams Swirl'n Fever Dreamscape Waves of Joy LOL...just playing, you did a great job
