Lotion making

July 31st, 2007 · No Comments

Hi everyone,
I have always made my lotions from pre-mixed gallons. Now I have a
kit with all the ingredients and am not sure how to go about this
process. What brand of scales are you using? I need to buy one and
there are so many. Is one you can buy at Bed, Bath and Beyond in the
kitchen […]

Excessively Oily Batch; What To do

July 31st, 2007 · No Comments

Hello-I made a batch of CPOP soap & when I took it out of the oven
(after overnight), it had small patches of oily spots. I have made
this recipe before with no problems (regular CP method). Do any of
you see this as a major problem (ie. can I still use this soap)? I
have cut it up […]

Mud masks

July 30th, 2007 · No Comments

I would love to get more detail about this too. I have tried and
tried to make a mask that would go on smooth and stay there. All
mine have that same weird texture and don’t adhere to the skin. If

think we should suppliment with […]

rose petal soap

July 30th, 2007 · No Comments

I found a recipe on another chat site that seems to be even simple
enough for me. Just one question, what is a “pure soap flake”.
Hope that question did not make you soapers fall off your chair
laughing, but I really don’t know. Here’s the recipe:
2 tbsp. dried red rose petals
8 oz. pure soap flakes
2/3 cup boiling […]

Newbie: binder for grain (everclear) and water?

July 29th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Hello.
I would like to make a cologne for my dad.
I can’t afford to spend money at this moment for perfumer’s alcohol.
I was wondering if there was a way to make a cologne with water,
everclear grain alcohol and essential oils without having to shake it
every time.
In other words, what do you use to bind alcohol to […]

Dead sea mud mask

July 29th, 2007 · No Comments

Has anyone had any luck with making a facial mask out of dead sea mud? I would
like to add some clays and oils but it turns into a strange consistency which
does not spread on the skin.

Hello Jen,
I changed my internet server and have been having difficulties as
well as loosing many of my bookmarks. Just have not have time to
really get busy on these heat sealers and bags either. But of

need one too. I am swapping advertising for samples […]

old one around that they want to get […]
