  1. try this( sorry I am on laptop and not near recipes so I am guestimating...)

    use 20% oil, use whatever oils you have on hand, one or a combo

    around 7-8% butters(shea mango,cocoa etc)

    3% Ewax or beeswax

    4% stearic acid

    heat all this up to melt everything, throw in your exfolliant, sugar, brown sugar, oatmeal etc.. around 70% mix well...

    after that you can add your preservative and your FO if desired...

    I have a friend who beats the crap outta hers and literally makes scrubby lotion..but I dont like it mixed that well:)

    awsoem thanks so much give thsi a try

  2. Materials: 1 Packet of unflavored gelatin1 teaspoon of salt1/2 cup of liquid soap3/4 Cup of waterFood ColoringFragrant oils or essential oilsPlastic storage jar with lid Instructions: Empty the packet of gelatin into a bowl and set aside.. Boil 3/4 cup of water using a saucepan or Kettle. Carefully pour the hot water into mixing bowl and mix it with the gelatin powder. Let the gelatin dissolve completely .

    Next pour the liquid soap into the gelatin mix in the bowl. Add 2 drops of food coloring into the mix and also add your fragrance oil now (about 5 drops) and stir it very gently so the bubbles do not become agitated .

    Pour the Mix into the clean storage container and allow to set for several hours in the refrigerator

    HOW TO USE :

    Place a small amount of jelly under the running water , a small plastic spoon in the Jar would be a good idea .

    Add a small toy into the Jelly before it sets to give the kids an incentive to get to the bottom of the Jelly soap.

    Dispose of the jelly after several weeks or if mold is present, Avoid mold by keeping it in an airtight container in a cool place at all times

  4. I have to agree with Eugenia. Besides the fact that you haven't tested these and show them on your site, this candle is "mis-colored"...do you plan to do this always, because people buying them from your site will expect them to look like that, if that's what they see... JMO
    they were removed and i will not offer i have burn tested and goign to do it agian tonight to post pics
  5. It's hard to go wrong w/ a palm wax. Your votive turned out well.

    The only thing I would say is that it's not a "marble" candle, though I could see why you would call it that considering the crystalizing effect of palm wax. Marbling is when you allow the wax to cool to an oatmealy consistency then add color w/o completely mixing it in. Here's a link on how to make marbles ... http://www.candletech.com/marbled/

    ty for that it sadi on the bag of wax what it does lol thoguth it was cool frist time i used
