Of course it's alright Thanks for the compliments. Most of my fragrances are just the names the supplier gives them. There's a few that I've changed.

Thank you! I did a total rebranding of my business about a year and a half ago. It's good to have good feedback on it

The label shows which scent they're getting. I'll see if I can remember how to attach some photos. lol. Yikes, They're huge photos, sorry!!

awww I miss Trapp. The chocolate is a little stronger than the other 2 so I put in less of that. I don't have an exact ratio that I use.

Yes all from NG Their Hot Cocoa is one of the best chocolate fragrances I've found! It's a good mix

I mix my own. Using nature's gardens hot cocoa, toasted marshmallow and graham crackers.

I offer both! I offer a 2 oz twist up container and in a tin. I sell both equally well. The tin is great for fitting in a purse or travel bag.

I thought about cancelling and then they arrived! This wasn't something I could have ordered from nature's garden. I do like ordering from them though!

It's been a crazy year with shipping taking forever or items just simply not being available for months. Most of it is understandable due to all the Covid stuff and places like Bramble berry are now back to usual quick shipping. I have some items that I ordered in April and were supposed to be here soon but just checked on them and now it says September! I need my containers! The same company that purchased WSP just recently also bought Elements Bath and Body (my orders from them now show WSP on my bills) and they also bought make your own. It doesn't help that they keep having large sales on random items. I'm definitely having to rearrange some things because of the long wait! I'm in a few groups on Facebook and WSP is definitely losing people.

I don't dry it after I add the fragrance. I have been selling them for a long time and haven't had anyone say it clogs. Maybe I just sift it enough to keep it small enough not to clog or maybe I use less fragrance? When I did research to make body powder a number of years ago, I didn't read anything about drying it out or I probably would have tried that.

Hello all! I don't check in here nearly as much as I should. But I'm doing some research for finally making some cp soap from scratch so here I am. It sounds like you'e done most of the research and trials to get something you like but I'll add my input too. I have been making body powder for around 8 years and it's one of my best selling products. I don't bake it or let it dry. I make a huge master batch of all my powders mixed and when it gets ordered, I scent it and package it up right away and send it off. I package in powder sifter bottles. my ingredients in random order are Arrowroot powder, tapioca powder, kaolin clay, baking soda, zinc, allantoin.

Between this and their ODR policy, I'm so disappointed with Etsy, It used to be such a great place to sell. The last couple of years have been rough on there and it doesn't seem to be getting better. I opened a stand alone website and am pushing all of my sales and advertising to that site and we'll just see what Etsy does. I really wish I had opened a stand alone site a long time ago. People who can opt out of those ads will become invisible. It has already felt impossible to be seen on there lately.

I'm with those on the 60/40. I hope it works out well for you. Sounds like it might be ok since it's your friends but I would have a clear contract. Especially when it comes to damaged or returned products. I've done consignment many times and each time I kicked myself because I was burned each time. The last time I sent products to a business and never heard from her again. I was so mad, I didn't even try to go after her. And like Shari, I also had another company go out of business overnight without telling anyone. I will never send products out without payment again.

Thank you! That's good to know which questions to ask about the oils. Hopefully I can eventually take a course. One book I got wasn't great so I'm sending that back but I got a few more that have been really helpful!

I want to unsee it AND buy the Wonder Woman one all at the same time
