Title: Hello everyone
Post by: sdq on December 15, 2012, 11:36:12 PM
Hi Everyone,  :hi:

Have been reading a bit around and have found it sooo helpful.

First to start with introducing myself. I have been soaping for sometime for myself -  trying to be frugal and like using natural herbs and infredients. I have made face packs, lotions and creams. I sort of like HP of soaps to cp because you can see the result in a day. But sadly cant get swirls ( I cant). I also like making bath bombs and cupcake ones. Want to try soap cupcakes with new MP foaming one. My recent one was Oatmeal, Goatmilk and honey soap with Almond oil as superfatting. And honestly after using for just a week in this cold I dont need any face cream after I wash my face with it in luke warm water. First it used to be like stretching very dry with chapped sort of skin. I had to use lots of creams soon after washing my face

I have recently decided to go ahead for a SA and hence have been reading all about Allergens, MSDS, labelling etc. I need HELP - BIGTIME. Soaping is fun and easy. but this has taken me back. I have not given up. I have loads of questions in my head.

Seeing soapers out there making and selling gives me hope that it can be done.
 
Thanks for reading my post.

Any advice and feedback is much appreciated

Hello and welcome. The legal stuff is not quite as complicated as it looks. You will probably find all the information you need here, but if you can't find something, just ask.

Hello Lindy, Eva, Suzanne and Lisa,    :hi:

Nice to hear from you. No wonder Lindy, I was trying to look for my other topic in the Introduction and couldnt see it. I thought I hadn't written it in the first place.   ;)

I have been reading the business section, and God bless Scott   :anglll:  - there is a lot of help. but sadly I still have questions in my head.  ???   You know when you make soap for yourself - easy peasy. the moment it is for selling, thats it.

Hi and welcome!! I also am in the process of getting ready to sell my soaps and things, and it is indeed quite a challenge. But take your time with it, don't stress and everything will come together just fine I'm sure. This forum can be very helpful if your stuck with anything  ;D
