Hi @pranchalmandhan208! Beeswax has a much higher melting point compared to shea butter, so it wouldn't work well for a massage candle. It wouldn't melt easily at skin-safe temperatures, which is essential for massage candles. Shea butter is softer and melts at a lower temperature, making it ideal for this purpose. Hope this helps!

Hi @mkordy9812! I got this deodorant-style container from amzn.to/4fXlAPB. As for the fragrance oil, I recommend using one specifically labeled as skin-safe to ensure safety and avoid any irritation. I personally like using fragrances from nurturehandmade.com?aff=518 because they clearly specify which ones are safe for use on skin and at what percentage. Hope this helps!

@SummerRainDIY super helpful, thanks

Hi @breeessentials! That’s so exciting-congrats on your first cupcake bath bomb! 🎉 If it’s a little crumbly, you can always add a bit more witch hazel or rubbing alcohol to help hold it together. As for the frosting, it does take practice! Piping can be tricky at first, but you’ll get the hang of it with time. Remelting is totally normal when you’re starting out. Keep experimenting-you’re doing great!

Hi @heliwrecker8649! This is just how I like to use the carpet deodorizer-I’ve found that using a broom helps work it into the carpet better for a more even distribution. It’s not in the instructions, but it’s a little trick that’s worked well for me. Hope it helps!

Hi @CrushNStory! I haven’t shipped these myself, but you could try using a container with a lid that allows space for the frosting to sit higher. Alternatively, you can pipe the frosting a bit lower to make it easier to close the lid securely. Hope this helps!

@@SummerRainDIY Thank you so much! Trying to start a candle business and had no idea how to ship it safely.

Thank you so much, @deusacymbra8605! 😍 I'm so glad you liked it! ✨💕

Great question, @annadani1832! Glycerin and sodium lactate serve different purposes in shampoo bars, so they’re not direct substitutes. Glycerin is a humectant that draws moisture into the hair but won’t help harden the bar like sodium lactate does. If you use glycerin instead, the bar may turn out softer and less durable. If you’re looking for an alternative to sodium lactate for hardening, you could try adding a small amount of a hard butter like cocoa butter or an ingredient like cetyl alcohol. Let me know if you have more questions-happy to help! 😊

You're so welcome, @kelliemorris8989! 😊 I'm so glad you think it's cool! Thanks for watching, and I’m happy to share the process with you. Let me know if you try it out! ✨

You're very welcome, @angelangelina1286! 😊 Let me know if you have any questions or need help with your shampoo bar-happy crafting! 🌟

Great question, @patriciasawyer661! Unlike cold process soap, syndet shampoo bars don’t need a curing period since they’re not made with lye. However, it’s a good idea to let them sit for 24-48 hours after molding to firm up and ensure the bar is solid. This also helps any excess moisture evaporate, making the bar harder and longer-lasting. Let me know if you have more questions-happy to help! 😊✨

You're so welcome, @angief892! 🥰 I'm so glad you found the recipe helpful-it’s all about sharing and empowering each other in the DIY community! 💪✨ That’s amazing that you’re giving it a go tonight; I’d love to hear how it turns out for you! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions along the way. Happy creating!

Aww, thank you so much, @lillizclassix2480! 🥰 Your support means the world to me! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos-more exciting content is on the way! ✨

The drizzle is just a little bit of soy wax left over from the base candle. I melted it and drizzled it on top for decoration

I actually use these candle jars that came with the labels. amzn.to/49IFegG

You're absolutely right, @aga_n916! Whipped wax typically involves using a hand or stand mixer to create a fluffy texture, but in this video, I focused on piping for the decorative topping-such a fun and simple alternative! 😊 I’m so glad you found the method helpful and easy to try. Let me know how your candles turn out-I’d love to hear about your results! 🕯✨ Thank you for watching!

That’s such an interesting observation, @pholbrook2277! It makes sense since salt scrubs can feel a bit more invigorating and cleansing, which might be great for winter dryness, while sugar scrubs are gentler and can provide that extra hydration during the summer. Thanks for sharing your experience-it's a great tip for tailoring scrubs to the seasons! 😊✨

@ Thanks for the videos!

@nicoleegbert7599 Great question! You can use beeswax for a secret message candle, but keep in mind that beeswax has a higher melting point, so it might take a bit longer to reveal the message as it burns. If you're okay with that, beeswax could work beautifully, especially when blended with a softer wax like soy to balance the burn rate. Let me know if you give it a try-I’d love to hear how your secret message candle turns out! 🕯✨

Hi @slayy_kayy1435! Great question! If you're using a high-quality fragrance or colorant, the drizzle should maintain its color over time. However, some colors can fade with exposure to light or heat, especially if it's a natural dye. To help preserve the color, keep your candles in a cool, dark place when not in use. Let me know if you have any other questions-I’d be happy to help! 😊✨

Hi @reshma2983! Great question! While polysorbate isn't absolutely necessary, it helps the oils in the scrub blend more smoothly with water, preventing the oils from sitting on top of the water when you rinse. It makes for a more even and pleasant application. However, if you don’t mind a little extra oil left on the skin or prefer a simpler recipe, you can skip it! Let me know how it turns out if you give it a try! 😊
