What is your soap made out of?

My soap is made out of 100% glycerin. The clear soap I use is formulated with Aloe and Vitamin E, and the opaque or white soap is made with Avacado and Cucumber.

What is the difference between opaque and clear?

The opaque soap is made with a base that is white, and is not see-through. The clear soap is just the opposite and is somewhat clear when it is done. In the picture below, the flower on the left is clear and the flower on the right is opaque.

What does "marbled" mean?

When I use the term "marbled", it means the color is not 100% in the soap. It creates a more "swirly" artistic effect than just having the soap a solid color. The seashell below is an example of the marble effect.

How do I take care of my soap?

According to the Life of the Party website (I use a lot of their products to make my soap), they say that, "glycerin soap is a highly moisturizing product. Under humid and damp conditions, it will attract the moisture in the air like a magnet! To avoid this, wrap your finished soaps in clear plastic wrap after un-molding." So, there you have it. Try not to keep them in too much humidity and sometimes keep them wrapped up if you aren't going to be using them immediately!

Where do you get your supplies?

I get all my stuff from neighborhood craft stores and some stuff from the internet as well. Ebay is a great place to buy stuff, same with various art websites.

How exactly do you make soap?

It's fairly easy- you just cut off how much of the plain soap you want, then you microwave it for about 30 seconds. When it's melted (but NOT boiling!) you add your desired fragrance and color(s). After that, pour the melted soap into a mold- and voila! In about an hour it is hardened and you have your own soap! Of course, it takes a while to figure out exactly how things work, and it requires a lot of imagination!

Do you test on animals?

OF COURSE NOT! :) In fact I am anti-animal testing and none of our products are ever tested on animals!

I want to cancel my order- what do I do?

If you wish to cancel, NOTIFY ME IMMEDIATELY!!! If I have began to make your soap, I cannot refund the money- that wouldn't be fair, would it?? So please, let me know, and I will be glad to help you out!
