Choosing the right mold for melt and pour soap
2007-12-26 11:56:00
Plastic molds used for melt and pour soapmaking are found in abundant quantities on the internet and from craft stores. Though these kinds of molds are so readily available yet there is a big distinction between molds that are of high quality and those that are not.Having good soap molds is important especially if one makes soap as a business. Too often molds are relegated as an after thought especially when juxtaposed to a fantastic recipe and killer fragrance/EO mixtures. After making soap for a while, what becomes clear though is the need to have a stock of good molds to make consistently attractive and intact melt and pour soap.Here are some things to consider when choosing the right mold for the job:1. How often the mold will be used. Consistent use with a high pouring temperature degrades molds that are flimsy. In addition some fragrance oils, and essential oils applied directly to molds degrades the mold because of the various chemical components they contain. Most plastic mo...

Forecasting and Inventory Tips From Wholesale Supplies Plus
2007-12-22 19:35:00
On my way to work this am, I called a good friend to see if she wanted to meet for a drink after work. She couldn?t because her husband is out of town and she didn?t have a babysitter. It was a bummer because I really enjoy her company. She told me that her husband was at a week long annual forecast meeting for his business. Knowing that her husband works in the chocolate industry and I said something like, ?is 2008 going to be a good year for chocolate?? That is when she told me he is forecasting inventory and sales for 2011!It got me to thinking about today?s topic. Forecasting Sales and Holding Inventory .Wholesale Supplies Plus, on average forecasts inventory 8 weeks out. In other words, we place an order with our manufacturers 8 weeks before we actually run out of stock. Some manufacturers have a lead time of 2 weeks, some are 12 weeks and a few are 24 weeks?.but on average it is about 8 weeks.I always feel bad when we run out of stock but it is so darn hard to forecast when new...

New Botanicals @ Juniper Tree
2007-12-18 19:43:00
I was at Juniper Tree this weekend. I was going to buy some ingredients to make some lotion for Christmas Gifts. But, silly me forgot my recipe so I decided to buy some other things for my upcoming soap making class at the Palo Alto Adult School.What I really wanted to tell you that if you wanted to add some different botanicals to your bath salts, Juniper Tree has some new ones you may want to try. The first one was a Pink Angel Wings. The color is very vibrant and has a very nice fragrance. These botanicals are rather large, so you will have to cut them down to add to your bath salts or bath bombs. The other is a wild orchid. These would be a pretty addition to your bath salts or bath bombs. The color is very delicate and I would say that there is no fragrance to interfere with your scents that you add to your products. Just like the Angel Wings, you will have to cut these flowers down to size.Do you like those reed diffusers that are sold everywhere, but hate the price? W...

Making Loaf Soap with Bread Tube Molds
2007-12-15 20:20:00
Instructions:- Melt approximately 2 oz. of soap base.- Fill metal end cap of loaf mold with this melted soap so that it fills the end cap ¾ of the way full.- Immediately insert the loaf mold into the end cap and stand straight up with the opening at the top. Other end cap will not be used.- Place the mold in the freezer for approximately 15 minutes to allow the soap to harden or let harden at room temperature for approximately 1 hour. This will seal the bottom of the mold so that your warm soap base will not run out the bottom when poured.- Once the bottom is completely sealed, pour melted soap base into the mold so that it completely fills up to the top.- Let soap dry at room temperature for approximately 3-4 hours until the soap is completely hard.- When completely dry, remove end cap from the bottom. Peel away any soap that is sticking to the sides.- To remove the loaf of soap from the mold, warm the outside of the mold slightly with a hair dryer for approximately 2-3 minutes.- P...

Additional Essential Oil Cautions
2007-12-12 19:21:00
Here are some additional guidelines to consider when using essential oils:* Avoid contact with the eyes and mucus membranes. Flush with olive oil in case of contact.* DO NOT flush with water.* A skin patch test should be conducted on a small skin area to determine skin sensitivity prior to using an oil for the first time.* To do a skin patch test, place a small amount of diluted essential oil on the inside of your elbow and applya band-aid. Never apply undiluted essential oils to the skin. Wait 24 hours to see if there is any form of reaction. This step should be done even if a particular essential oil is known to cause skin irritation.* If you experience redness, itching, swelling, burning, or irritation of any kind, discontinue using that particular essential oil.* If you find yourself using alot of essential oils on a daily basis, take periodic breaks. For example, if you have been using a particular oil for six days then you should take a rest for a day or for three weeks and th...

FDA Labeling Guidelines for Soap
2007-12-11 21:25:00
The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938 was signed by FDR amidst a burgeoning public outcry for consumer protection from quack cures and cosmetic products that caused harm rather than cure or enhance the user. The act was designed to protect the public from products that made unsubstantiated or fraudulent claims, or that caused harm due to inclusion of harmful ingredients. The act covered the broad scope of both what is consumed or ingested as food and those ingredients that are used to treat, cure or enhance cosmetically.Though this new law made it illegal for manufacturers to include ingredients in products that could be harmful to an unsuspecting public yet it wasn't until it was amended to include - the Pesticide Amendment of 1954, the Food Additives Amendment of 1958, and the Color Additive Amendments of 1960 ? that the law became specific in nature requiring manufacturers to use only ingredients (which included additives and color) in manufacturing that prior research...

What makes an essential oil therapeutic grade?
2007-12-08 19:23:00
Standards have been developed by the Association French Normalization Organization Regulation and adopted by the International Standards Organization to distinguish true Thera peutic Grade essential oils from inferior oils merely used for fragrance. This is a growing concern as demand for essential oils increases due to health-conscious consumers desiring to ward off today's stressful lifestyles--thus diminishing the supply.True Therapeutic essential oils are immune-system stimulating, anti-viral, anti-infectious, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, antiseptic, anti-tumoral and even anti-fungal.Gas Chromatography Purity TestingGas chromatography is the scientific method employed to differentiate imposters from the real McCoys. It measures whether basic components of an essential oil occur in a precise percentage. If only two primary constituents do not meet precise percentages, the oil cannot be AFNOR or ISO certified--although the oil may qualify as Grade A. Gas chromatography can also...

How to Make Holiday Striped Soaps (from Martha Stewart)
2007-12-04 23:10:00
Delight someone with a fresh-scented and boldly striped soap. Purchase clear and white glycerin soap at a crafts store.

Melt the glycerin according to the package instructions, using 1/4 cup at a time.2. Stir in a drop of peppermint oil (available at most health-food stores) with a plastic spoon; for the clear glycerin, add drops of red food coloring, stirring until you get the desired hue.3. Pour the 1/4 cup of melted soap into the loaf pan. Let cool for 20 minutes.4. Score the top with a fork. Repeat, alternating colors, until the pan is full.5. Let set for 4 hours. Pop soap out of pan, and slice into bars.6. Wrap each bar in cellophane; tape it shut, and tie with bakery string.7.

How To Effectively Use Aromatherapy Essential Oils
2007-11-29 23:59:00
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.
