I found that the Nag Champa fragrance is known to accelerate trace, so I'm using my recipe that was had a lot more softer oils which supposedly delays trace and I'm not going to do anything fancy - maybe just add a some color, and the nag champa and pour. The various soap forums have been very helpful. I'm loving the chemistry of it all but when I think I have enough info to get started, I read another but! LOL <br />You're right about the selling. The way to make money from soap is to set up an etsy shop selling molds and soap making ingredients! The oval and heart molds that arrived yesterday if from an Etsy seller two towns over from me. About a half and hour after I put in my order, I got an email that they order was shipped and it arrived two days later. She also included a free plastic mold and a couple of tiny other samples. Her prices were a bit more that the big producers, but the service was great and I got everything so fast, and I didn't have to make a minimum order. <br />Your new job sounds wonderful - a great pairing, I think for you and the shop owner.

As far as the selling, it's about like pottery for me, there are already too many doing it, I have found that every time I even think about setting up to sell soap, I go do something more fun!Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13789918.post-21430635754169474712014-11-12T19:47:41.518-05:002014-11-12T19:47:41.518-05:00The Nag Champa soap sounds nice.
