Staff Answer Yes, this can be poured into a lotion tube.

Staff Answer You can use any other essential oil or fragrance oil that you wish to use.

Staff Answer Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This recipe was made about 4 years ago and we are not sure if the IFRA ratings were different. We have adjusted the amount of Bitter Almond down to 0.17 oz. or approximately 5 ml.

Staff Answer Yes, you can but the natural Shea Butter has a nutty odor which may interfere with your fragrance.

Staff Answer You can substitute any oil of your choice for the Grape Seed. We choose this oil because it is a light weight oil and it is easily absorbed into the skin.

Staff Answer We cannot guarantee these will not melt during shipment. You may need to do a test-ship to someone to see what happens.

Yes, the FDA has no definition on what the term natural is here in the US.

To do so is misleading to your clients. If they want natural, provide them with natural. To add a synthetic chemically processed preservative makes the product no longer natural. Just because the FDA does not define it doenst mean you should be dishonest.

Staff Answer Hi Julie, If you take a look at step number 11 on recipe you will notice that you will complete the recipe using one scent and then repeat all steps using the other scent. You will end up with 32 bars scented with Bliss and 32 bars scented with Bitter Almond.

Thank you! Off to make lotion bars! :)

Staff Answer Step 2 of the recipe has 8 oz of cocoa butter. Let us know if you have further questions!!

The general rule of thumb is one year past date of purchase. I have however used things for personal use that was only a little past that date and it's been fine. Always check the color and smell, make sure it's not cloudy, separated, or has a bad smell.
