or just use the full sheet labels and custom make them,print and then cut them out yourself.

Anyone have a good perfume oil recipe? I would be using it in roll on type tubes. Thanks

Hmmm...I would think to maybe add a little butter to the oils to thicken it up a tad? I make a massage OIL but it is basically SAO and soy oil..I also make a fancy one with some rose petals,calendula,herbs,etc emersed in the oil..makes the bottle look oh so pretty

Here is the recipe I am using and my problem seems to be MELTING!!! When I ship, it basically turns to liquid and is no longer whipped and fluffy..Can someone maybe tell me what I am doing wrong? I usually just make the base and then add the sugar as I need it later.

10% ewax

8% stearic

1% cetyl alcohol

64% butters

14% oils

1% preserv.

2% FO

And then when it sets up I add sugar as needed and the WHIP like crazy.

I package mine in the roll up clear tubes.

Thanks ladies

Well you haven't lost you touch. Beautiful!

I usually use liquid lake dyes, power micas and micas dispersed in glycerin..

but..if I add a touch of cyclo to a body butter that is anhydrous will I need to add a preservative?

Who said anything about going to Washington right now? Actually, with them being on recess is the perfect time to talk to them. They are home in thier own districts to talk to people who cannnot afford to go to Washington to talk to them. So, request a meeting with your reps, show them the examples, get them educated.

It is NOT to late, this bill has only been proposed. It isn't to late until it gets voted on and passed and signed into law. We need to keep fighting until it arrives on the Presidents desk to be signed into law.

So don't get discouraged, keep hope and get your voice heard!!!!

Totally agree!!! NO ONE should give up on this. If you care about yor business then make your voice heard!

And then we have a pretty big etsy selling saying things like " I am for this bill because my stuff is already all natural. I have nothing to worry about, it's all those people that use bases that are worried" give me a break, I wanna freakin' scream at her to get educated. Yet she uses FO but claim they are naturally derived and are coconut oil based :rolleyes2 and people believe this crap and she has a pretty big business going...

What I did was

4 oz cocoa butter

2 oz mango butter

2 oz shea butter

2 oz FCO

2oz avocado oil

2 oz ewax

1 oz cetyl alcohol

.5oz steric acid

preserv.

FO

MMS is $10 more for 10 lbs then I am paying at columbus foods...

No one else can help me?

Where does everyone else get their shea butter from?

OMG grrrrr....I am going crazy. I have some shea that I got from Columbus foods. It is refined but due to the hot weather when it shipped, it is super grainy! I tempered it to 150 for 20 mins and then cooled it off quickly in the freezer. It is great for a few days but as soon as it even gets a little warm, the grans come back!! I hate it! I was using WSP shea butter and never had to deal with this but I can't afford $9.00 for a pound anymore..Can anyone help? PLEASE?

I have NG's dupe and it is awesome

My favorite additive supplier is www.lotioncrafter.com

They have awesome quality products, fast shipping and wonderful customer service! for everything else I use naturesgarden.

I offer clear glycerin, goats milk,shea butter and olive oil soaps.

Thanks CBE. Maybe I will try subing the SAO with the GSO and see how it does

What are some other "dry" oils besides FCO that I could use in my body butter? Right now I basically whip shea with some mango butter, FCO, SAO and some IPM but it is still a little draggy and greasy for my liking. Any help?

Yeah, that teaches you a lot.. Put this powder in with that powder, add "bubbling agent" and some color...

I used cocoa butter, mango butter, shea butter, jojoba oil, ewax, and cetyl alcohol! I put them in my lotion bar tubes. They are a tad softer than a loiton bar though. More like a lip balm. Rub it on wet skin and it melt into a loiton and washes off great but leaves a silky smooth feel on the skin. I can give the exact recipe if anyone is interested!

I tested and tweaked and I finally got THE PERECT bar for me...I am in love..Stick form but turns into creamy lotion on wet skin..yay!

I wanna make some shower lotion bars. Something that is hard like a lotion bar but "melts" onto your skin in the shower and becomes creamy. Do you think Cocoa butter,mango butter, shea butter, jojoba oil, ewax and a preservative would work?

What do you guys use when packaging up bath salts/scrubs? Do you include a scoop or spatula? If so, know where I can purchase some in bulk at a reasonable price?
