24.01.2022 Tip Thursday :) Easily wrap round soaps by placing the soap on a round piece of paper then fold the paper up over the top of the soap, then firmly stick your label over the papers' edges to secure in place. Have you crafted any round soaps lately? Share your gorgeous creations with us for this "Tip Thursday"!!

Besides adding a touch of fragrance and colour to the melted base, you just melt and pour. Simple! What’s not so simple, besides choosing your preferred fragrance and colour? Allowing the soap to set without touching it but your patience will... be rewarded. And with the kit containing everything you need, you'll be creating some fantastic soap in no time. Actually... for Mother's Day time ;)

20.01.2022 Castor oil is a great alternative for when a carrier oil is needed due to its ability to mix well with others. It's fantastic in creams and lotions to moisturize and replenish dry skin, and is packed with anti-ageing properties to stimulate the production of elastin and collagen necessary for youthful looking skin. Castor oil in hair care products such as shampoos enhances hair growth and deeply conditions each strand leaving you with smooth, shiny, silky soft hair. Thanks to its anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, castor oil can also help to relieve an itchy, irritated scalp and reduce unwanted flakes associated with product build up. All of these qualities and attributes make Castor Oil a wonderfully versatile product.

It is a fantastic way to connect with people of various crafting interests and skills and allows you to seek out that extra something needed to complete your project, such as a soap maker in need of candles.

15.01.2022 It’s the end of another week and with the Christmas season just around the corner there’s no time like the present to start pampering yourself. Here’s a couple of suggestions for you to try featuring Bi Carb Soda. Boosted by anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties, Bi Carb Soda provides excellent enhancement to your regular facial cleanser. Adding up to and no more than a half a teaspoon, the soda can help to relieve the effects of acne and reduce outbrea...ks. Be sure to rinse and moisturize well after cleansing to prevent over drying. Bi Carb Soda can be incorporated into your skin care routine up to twice weekly. A half a tablespoon of Bi Carb Soda added to your regular shampoo once a week can help remove build up that’s often the cause of itchiness and unwanted flakes. Before conditioning as usual, make sure all the soda has been rinsed out thoroughly.

15.01.2022 Tip Thursday :) Storing your Essential Oils in amber or blue glass protects the oil from sunlight damage and provides a longer shelf life.

15.01.2022 Tip Thursday :) Always wash candle glassware prior to use to remove the mould release agent that will stop wax adhering to the glass.

13.01.2022 I was recently talking to someone about an Australian colour supplier in the market that I had not heard of before, but is touting they provide to all the big suppliers. They are putting forward colours that have listed on their SDS that product is not skin safe, but that is ok, they just have to have it there. This absolutely horrified me The FDA has strict rules regarding what can and cannot be used in cosmetics. On occasion they go so far to ensure the product is batch... certified before you are permitted to use it so it is guaranteed to comply. The Cosmetic Ingredients Database has an entire index devoted to colours to ensure we get it right there are only 6 indexes and one is exclusively colours it is that important. If it is not suitable for skin it is not suitable for skin. Last week Heirloom received an FD & C colour that was listed as not suitable for skin application. We sent it back! We did not say that was OK because there is a C in the name. It isn’t. One SDS does not cover all colours unless they are specifically itemised. They all have their own rules, including the amount you use. Please keep in mind that some colours are also listed on the Poisons Register. For a very good reason. I ask you to do your due diligence when it comes to your colours, wherever you source them. If the website does not list suitability for skin application ask for the SDS. This may take a few days to arrive (as compliance paperwork is never ending) but it should be specific to the colour you have chosen and should be very clear what you can and cannot use it for. Insurance may not cover you for using a non-compliant colour that has caused a law suit. See more

It is also great for kids' science experiments such as volcano making, for lots of messy fun outdoors.

An extremely versatile product, Bicarbonate of Soda can also be used to freshen up carpets and rugs as well as deodorize surfaces.

06.01.2022 Tip Thursday :) A wick that has begun to "mushroom" can become unstable and produce a flame that is too large and can start to smoke.

04.01.2022 Tip Thursday :) A candle made with beeswax requires a larger wick than that of soy wax or paraffin due to its higher melting point, allowing for a more efficient burn.

02.01.2022 Life seems to be moving at a faster pace this year (how is it the end of September already??) and with all that 2020 has brought with it, feeling overwhelmed and uncertain can sometimes get in the way of our daily routine. Nurture your mind, body and soul this weekend by taking a few minutes to sit quietly and clear your mind of thoughts. This can be done while waiting for your favourite face mask or hair treatment to work its magic and is sure to leave you feeling replenished from the inside out.

02.01.2022 Tip Thursday :) Mix Natrasorb Bath with your essential or fragrance oils when making bath salts to contain the fragrance and keep your salts dry until added to the water.
