Information on Colorants for Bath & Body Products
2008-04-14 17:35:00
Color is an important ingredient of any bath product. There are natural powders such as coco powder, dried herbs, ground spices and mica powders and flakes. Mica powders give a beautiful sheen and are in a variety of metallic colors. The USDA does not restrict the use of mica powders or flakes, but if you are using these powders to your products it is recommended that you where a mask when working with them.Also there are your cosmetic grade colorants which come in solid and liquid forms.

Three Dimensional Soap
2008-04-13 19:27:00
According to Kelly Ewing, author of Making Candles and Soap s for Dummies, a three-dimensional soap is actually soap that has as a shape, such as a form as a duck. The easiest way to create a 3-D soap is using a two-piece mold. What is a two-piece mold? It is a mold that comes in two pieces which is held together by plastic clamps. The mold has a hold at the top or bottom so that you can pour your melted soap into it. These molds can be tricky, which is one reason why making this type of soap is abit more advanced.The author recommends these steps to create a 3-D bar of soap:1. Prepare your mold by sliding the clamp into place to hold the mold together and then place the pour spout side upside on top. If the mold you are using has alot of intricate details, the author suggests spraying the mold with vegetable oil or a releasing agent so that the soap will come out easier.2. Melt your soap base.3. Add your color and then your scent; stir well.4. Pour your soap into your mold through t...

Soap Making For Beginners: Melt and Pour
2008-04-12 21:56:00
By Susan JanSoap making has been around for ages. The process of making soaps can either be simple or complex, depending on what you want to make. You can make soaps as a way to make money or you can make soaps for personal use or as gifts. Keep in mind that soap making can be dangerous, as soaps become very hot when melted during the melt and pour soap making process.Soap making should be fun and entertaining, but it is also important to practice all necessary safety precautions when making soaps. Always wear rubber gloves and eye protection. It is also a good idea to keep your safety equipment on at all times even after you have removed the soap from the mold. This is because melted soap takes a long time to cool.To start making soaps, you have to get to know the basic ingredients in handmade soaps. Handmade soaps are generally made from glycerin. You can buy glycerin soap at your local hobby store. There are many types of glycerin soaps that you can melt and pour into your own ha...

Choosing a Good Wooden Soap Mold
2008-04-11 22:07:00
A good wooden mold will last for years; a great wooden mold will last for decades. Over the years, wooden molds have gotten more affordable and there are more choices available. Now, instead of just a rectangular or square box, there are molds that are fitted with rigid plastic liners, with cutting lines, with pieces that come apart, and with parts that are reputed to be safe for oven applications.My first wooden soap mold was made from ½� thick plywood purchased at a neighborhood lumberyard in Chelsea, Manhattan. At the time, I was attending a building trade school. My carpentry teacher allowed me to use the table saw and tools to make my soapbox. It was just an open rectangular box, nothing fancy, comprised of four butt joints secured with 1½� nails. Though only made of plywood it endured constant use for 6 years. Some time ago it started showing signs of wear and tear—a bit of loosening of the bond that holds the veneer layers together and loosening of the nails and joint...

Want to be in the know? Attend a trade show.
2008-04-10 19:29:00
A trade show is an exhibition organized so that companies in a specific industry can showcase and demonstrate their new products and services. Usually trade fairs are not open to the public and can only be attended by company representatives (members of the trade) and members of the press.Many folks who make soaps and other body care items develop their business from the love of a craft. Oftentimes, they find it difficult to connect to what is happening in the larger market; to understand trends; to find suppliers; to source new services and products. Oftentimes it is difficult to take their business to the next level because of lack of understanding of the big picture.One of the ways to understand the big picture, that is, how to place your business in the context of the larger market is to attend a trade show. Information gathered at trade shows helps you to take a small company, and make it seem big or to expand to other markets or get new products and services.Trade shows provid...

Swirling Suggestions for CP Soap Making
2008-04-09 02:01:00
(Source: Millers Soap )Swirling is not for the faint of heart, especially if you are using fragrance oils to scent your soap! I'm not an expert on this technique, but thought I'd pass on a few ideas for you. There are different types of swirls you can obtain...often by accident, but hopefully by design. The thinner your soap is when swirled, the finer the feathering of the swirl will be. Part of this has to do with starting at a thin trace, but also some recipes lend themselves to it better than others. I found that recipes using a fair amount of soybean oil didn't get as thick at trace as the ones heavy on olive. Don't know why. They made a nice feather swirl for me. If the soap gets too thick when you are swirling (sometimes because of a fragrance accelerating trace) you may end up with more of a two-toned soap that doesn't have a swirl throughout. Anyway... there are three basic ways you can swirl (and probably more):*Pour most of base soap into mold, color remaining portion ...

How To Effectively Use Aromatherapy Essential Oils
2008-04-07 23:02:00
The use of aromatherapy essential oils is becoming an increasingly popular method of enhancing the mental and health benefits that come from choosing the natural approach towards relaxation and treatment. Today, aromatherapy is offered at clinics, health spas, and private institutions, as part of their selection of services. The use of aromatherapy essential oil therapy is also a practice that can take place within the comforts of your own home.An aromatherapy essential oil utilizes the parts of a plant that generates a scent that can be used to treat disease and/or achieve a higher level of mental stimulation. An aromatherapy essential oil is extracted from a variety of different plant parts, including the flowers, leaves, rind, stalks, bark, or roots.For example, an aromatherapy essential oil may come from the flowering tops of lavender and chamomile, the leaves of cinnamon and peppermint, the peel of an orange or lemon, cardamom seeds, tea tree twigs, or a handful of lemongrass. ...

Lightening Skin at Home with an Easy to Make Organic Soap By Naweko San-Joyz January 24, 2008There was a time in history when almost everyone crafted their own soap. The Earth is coming full circle and once again soap making has made itself a welcomed and rewarding past-time. But a few things have changed in the past 200 years of soap making.For one, you can custom tailor soaps to your specific beauty needs while adding herbal elements to make the end-product more therapeutic. Moreover, milling soaps does not take all day or even months as it did with our predecessors. Now you can combine the healing and beautifying powers of soap into an organic skin lightener with just a few hours of work.

How to Create Cigar Bands to Wrap Your Soaps
2008-04-05 23:10:00
Source: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art46 253.aspCigarbands come in many sophisticated colors and designs that are intricately worked, emblazoned with long dead business logos and famous personalities. Starting in the early 1800’s, cigar bands were used by manufacturers as a way to differentiate their brand of cigar from another and to tell the buying public that the authenticity of the product was guaranteed.Manufacturers poured much work and talent into showing that the quality of the design translated into the quality of the cigar, hoping that this combination would spell massive sales, because surely, a cigar wrapped so intricately and fabulously styled must be indicative of a product of the highest quality.On a commercial level, with the advent of cigar band designing we see the early genius of marketing via a branded design that spoke visually to a population that oftentimes could not read, yet were able to remember these stunning and remarkable designs and thus becam...

Soap Making Can Be Fun And Profitable
2008-03-27 19:24:00
If you have ever made soap from scratch or are thinking about it, you should probably know that it can be one of the most frustrating things you will ever do. After learning the process though, a lot of people find it to be one of the best hobbies or crafts they have ever done. Soap making can be a hobby for people, but it can also turn out to be a very profitable business. Before you go rushing into thinking that you are going to just create this beautiful and profitable soap making business, you had better look at some the important features regarding this business.The most important feature of a soap making business is going to be the legal disclaimers.

How To: Quick and Easy Natural Massage Melts
2008-03-25 18:41:00
Massage melts are a unique body product because they stay solid at room temperatures, but when applied directly to your skin, start to soften and melt due to body temperature. Their main purpose is to moisturize dry skin, as well as, relax and soothe tight muscles.Essentially, massage bars are composed of natural butters and oils. Most recipes for this type of product call for the use of cocoa butter. Even though it has great moisturizing properties, I feel this butter produces too hard a product. Therefore, I recommend using such butters as shea and mango, which create a silkier, luxurious feeling to your melts.For oils, I highly recommend using sweet almond and jojoba. Sweet almond oil is light and penetrates easily making it well-suited for dry skin conditions. Plus, it is effective on all skin types. Jojoba oil, which is not actually an oil but is a liquid wax, is similar in composition to the oil your skin secretes, which is known as sebum. Jojoba is a quickly absorbed oil that...
