the_amber_woods Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 no one knows of a good beginners site? I mean other than just getting a recipe and following it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol M Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I don't think you are going to find a site that has everything "in a nutshell". That's what makes candle, soap, and toiletry-making so complex; you glean bits of information from different sources and have to figure out how they fit together. Some really good sites that have helped me are: the soap dish forum, the whisk.us, and the lotioncrafter site (the formulary gives exact instructions for making lotions in some of the recipes).
