I’ll be making three facial products this week featuring Rose Hydrosol. This magical product has the light scent of fresh roses and is a wonderful ingredient for the delicate skin on your face. Hydrosols are the water that is left after herbs are distilled to glean the essential oil. Rose […]

We just got in a new fragrance this week, and I have to admit that I’ve fallen in love with this sweet scent. I know that I like many different fragrance oils, and I’m always raving about some fragrance or another, but Cherry Taffy Fragrance Oil punches that happy nostalgia […]

We’re back to see how the soap turned out using our Water Soluble Colors. I shredded all three colors of soap, then I stirred them into a batch of white soap so any bleeding of the colors would be obvious. The colors did change from the wet soap to the […]

Sealing disks are used to keep the product out of the cap when you package lotion or cream in a jar. The disks also present a professional appearance to a product, and slow down leakage possibilities. They are not necessary, but many makers prefer to use them. We want your […]

There are so many great techniques to try when soaping. In-the-pot swirls are among my favorite. They are easy and forgiving, and the results are so satisfying. I’ve been watching lots of videos and admiring the different bars created with this technique, and now I’m ready to make some for […]

Today’s recipe is for a lotion that is so soft, creamy, and sweet smelling it’s like rubbing frosting on your face. I know that sounds kind of weird, but due to the vanilla note, that is what this lotion makes me think of! This lotion was designed for someone with […]

Yesterday I got a wild hair and decided to try Cetyl Alcohol by itself as an emulsifier for this Hemp Seed Oil lotion. As I feared, Cetyl Alcohol alone was not strong enough. No matter how much I blended, it just kept separating. This was not unexpected. I didn’t change […]

Sometimes it’s fun to put the spotlight on a single oil in a lotion. Every oil has unique benefits, and Hemp Seed Oil is no exception. Using it at a higher rate in a single-oil lotion lets those benefits shine through. Our Hemp Seed Oil is organic and is expeller […]
