I did call c&s and they said they plan to offer natural bases in the future after their website is done being updated!

I got Christmas Wreath from WSP and it smells amazing...has great reviews on the website too!

Hi and Welcome,

C & S stands for Candles and Supplies. Here is a link to their bases:

Oh my...for heaven's sake! Here I am a mere 30 minute drive ffrom C&S!

I never knew I had a supplier almost in my backyard! Now if only they had natural m&p bases!

Also forgot to mention in my previous post that a filtering shower head helped greatly! We use a Sprite handheld one that I got on Amazon!

thanks! Gonna try a bit and see what happens!

I use Lime Essential Oil and it smells great! I use it in soaps though, not candles.

Can you turn most lotion bases into a whipped product?

I just got some Shea and Aloe Lotion from WSP and it is pretty thick. Not quite a cream but thicker than a lotion. I'm wondering if I can add fragrance to it and then whip it in my mixer to make it fluffier?

You can always remelt and pour again. :smiley2:

Thanks! I did that!

I got the wavy ones from Cottonblossomscraft and really like them!

If they do sweat...can I remelt and pour them and then wrap them as soon as I unmold them?

I just ordered some of their She Butter and Aloe lotion to try as it is mineral oil and paraben free and made from 98% naturally derived ingredients. I'll let you know how I like it when it comes! http://wholesalesuppliesplus.com/ProductDetail.aspx?CatalogID=2&GroupID=332&CategoryID=832&ProductID=8108&ProductName=Crafters+Choice%E2%84%A2+Shea+Butter+%26+Aloe+Lotion

I made some ice cube sized pumpkins and skulls last night and wasn't able to get them wrapped. Of course today it is pouring rain and so humid now they are sweating. What can I use to wipe them off with damaging/scratching them? I do have little cello bags to put them in them, I plan to put 4 of them in it.

Here they are pre-dew!

i would be using it for CP

I've used drops of liquid dye to do swirls in my cp and it worked great. I just had the cheap stuff made by Spa Indulgences.

I posted asking on another board if I could use Wilton cake coloring and was told yes...I used some of that as I had some on hand(and you can buy it at Walmart for cheap). I'm new to m&p as I usually make natural cp.

What fo did you use? I just soaped some Pumpkin Crunch II from wsp and everyone loves it!

put 2 one ounce samples from the texes natural place in my cart and shipping was over $12! Ouch!

Found 2 interesting ones...had never heard of this place before though.

and this one http://www.texasnaturalsupply.com/productinfo.aspx?productid=ANCLBNF3

still searching...found this http://www.texasnaturalsupply.com/productinfo.aspx?productid=ANCLBGM

Also need to find oval ones as I'd like to embed some silly bands in them!

I have had great success with fo from wsp...only had 1 of the 12 I've used not turn out well!

I used the goats milk lotion base from NG and did NOT like it. It left a really tacky and sticky after feel. I think I might try it for maybe a spray lotion, but I put the tub I have of it back in the cupboard and haven't used it at all. I prefer the GMH from WSP, and also the hemp from aquatech. Although since it's now going to cost like $42 for a gallon of the hemp I might have to discontinue it. Just way too costly.

sheesh...now I don't know what to try! I need something that is almost all natural and I thought I'd try the gm since i make cp goat's milk soap.

I just soaped pumpkin crunch II from wsp and love it! I had a small batch curing on my kitchen island and had 4 separate people walk into my house and ask me if they could have some pumpkin bread as they thought I had baked some!

Now to find some other cute, cheap ones!

I ended up ordering a wilton cupcake silicone mold from amazon fpr $9.99 as I needed some new pyrex measuring cups and they and the molds are part of the buy 3 get the 4th free promotion on Amazon. Ordered my duckies from wsp to put in/on the soaps!

Can't wait to make them!
