    I am glad to hear that you use a base for this product. I find sometimes it is looked down upon when you use bases which should not be the case. I also use bases for my products and people still love them and I feel confident about the products I am selling. Happy Birthday!
    Keep up the great work.

      I think as long as you low the ingredients well, how it’s produced, etc. there is no reason someone should shame you for that. 🥰

    I found that making it from scratch costs just as much as making it fr scratch. When you add in your labor it was a difference of maybe a penny. I modify my whipped soap and add additional oils & additional preservative.

    I just found your yt. I have the same type of method with the whipped soap/scrub. I do the color around the jar but all my base stays white :) I love to see other creations. Yours looks pretty with all the different colors with also color base 😍. I love the filler. Yes yes! I love supporting other small businesses and buying their items :)

    I love the pink tennis ball on the lever 😂 How long does it take you to clean out and sterilize the hopper between scents? If you're doing more than one scent and day it must take forever! Watching the sugar scrub come out into the tubs is so satisfying to watch. Happy belated birthday! I hope it was a great one 💕
