Hi all,

wondering how your liquid soap sales are. Am thinking of adding to my line of products.

My top seller currently are my bar soaps & bath bombs.

thanks, vanessa

Hi Bath Bombers!

wondered about adding corn starch to my bombs.

those of you that use it, what positive properties does it add to your bombs?

tia - Vanessa 

I use BC's Love Spell and its dead on!

have used it for a long time - smells great in candles, melts, lotions, scrubs & bath bombs. Morfs a tad in soaps, but is still good in soaps.

When I calculate the amount of fo needed for my sugar scrub, do I calculate from the TOTAL amount the recipe will make-in other words ( oils and butters and waxes and preservative AND the SUGAR) ?

So if my recipe makes 120 oz when finished - do I multiply .02 by 120 and get 2% f.o. For my scrub?

thanks all - vanessa

Ya, they just sent me an e-mail that they are bringing it back!

Im doing the happy dance!!

I'm sorry to say Bittercreek has discontinued BNL Cuc Melon  sad day as this is one of my TOP selling soaps.

anyone recommend a good cuc melon for cp soaping with no d or a?

vanessa

Hmm interesting indeed!

Hi all,

.  Those of you that use tussa silk in your soaps, what properties does it give your soap? Do you notice a difference in soap with vs not with the silk?

tia, Vanessa 

Hi all,

 what do ppl like , or what sells better - sugar or salt scrubs?

tia - Vanessa 

Lime leaf & Lily does real well in cp. no discoloration. Smells very nice & clean.

They have the best creme Brulee , does well in soy.

Thanks everyone for your encouragement. I came up with a name...Savannah Bay!

Hi all!

So I've added a new soap to my line. Bb's tobacco & bay leaf. This is a pic of the finished soap.

It is a very sophisticated fragrance. I smell

The tobacco leaf comin through. Has wonderful reviews.

My question - what to name it?

I'd like to name it something tobacco BUT

A tobacco name that won't turn ppl off ?

What do you all think?

Tall tayl

That's the exact tea strainer that I have, but the glitter runs right through it without control :/

Am I doing something wrong?

This is the one i use and it is perfect with any size mica or glitter or combo.

Thanks much all!

Tried the tea strainer - didn't work, looks like I will need to make an order with ah/re!

Hi all!

I love glittering the top of my soaps, but have trouble controlling how much goes on when I shake it from the container. What do you all use to apply glitter EVENLY to the tops of your soaps?

Thanks, Vanessa

Oh use them in bath bombs!!! I use it with Epsom salt. Works well.

Thanks scented!

I love making my bath bombs

How much Dead Sea salt for a recipe that makes around 8 4oz bombs?

I know I sell them like crazy expecially to family's with young kids.  My phone usually starts ringing in April, getting ready for the  buggy season!  With the cost of EO's, just don't underprice yourself!!  I get $8.00 for mine and no one ever questions the price.

Am I mistaken...I thought you were not able to sell bug off of any sort because it is considered a pharmaceutical. I remember wanting to sell this myself a couple years ago & was told I cannot?

Anyone put goat milk in your bombs? If so, how do you like them & how much gm is appropriate for bombs?

Thanks,

Vanessa

I use Dead Sea Salts in my blend but to avoid clumping, use either Dendritic Salt or Natrasorb (tapioca powder) mixed in with the fragrance or essential oil. San Francisco Salt Works has some good recipes. I like about equal mix of Dead Sea, Fine Sea, Pacifica for my blend with the Dendritic added. HTHSteve

So the Dead Sea salt will not cause your salts to become wet when they are stored?

Hi all,

I purchased some Dead Sea salts by mistake.

What can I make with these?

From my searching they seem to be difficult in bath salts as they cause them to become liquid & slushy.

Do they work in bath bombs? Or will they make the bombs attract moisture also?

Thank you much, Vanessa

Thanks all, they are scented in Peaks Black Raspberry Vanilla. Perfect for Easter!

First time at making PEEPS for easter & yes, they actually float!

Is it very similar to their champagne fragrance oil?

OT has the best watermelon for cp - doesnt discolor

Thanks

I'll go with oriental then!
