Thank you for stopping by Walnut Creek Bath Boutique's Channel! My name is Tammy and I love to make all things bath and body. Come along with me as I share with you my process. Both successes and probably some failures will be featured here :)
I love trying new things and will bring you along as I try my hand at new soap club challenges! I love to teach and sharing how to make soap or how to make lotions is something you will find here. I make wax melts, bath bombs, lotions, shampoo bars & all natural deodorants so there will hopefully always be something new for you to enjoy! My passion will always come back to cold process soap though, that is the heart and soul of my business and my passion. I would love it it you would consider subscribing to my channel! I will be uploading 1 to 2 times per week.

I love your videos, and have been watching your videos on liquid soap. I’m still stumped on how to delude. I am planning on making the cocoa cream 35/65 dilution
I don't have her recipe but I use my own. I sold 48 jars this month at $15 dollars a jar and currently making more. Everyone is obsessed with it. Keep making them and keep selling them. People are definitely getting into magnesium cream right now.
One thing I started doing with things like liquid germall plus and polysorbate 80 was to replace the tops with those squeeze bottle tops. Makes things so much easier for measuring and dispensing. I also have oils in squeeze bottles and water as well for small batches etc. I don't know who I learned it from but it's a game changer ❤
Hi Tammy! Can you share what type of wax dye or coloring you use and where you get it? Also, when you test your candles and wax melts, do you do that in a small enclosed room? Like a small bedroom with the door closed? Are you selling more wax melts or candles? Thank you!! Tina 🩷
Yes, I have used the shrink rap. It's gonna do that every time you wrap something anyway. I love watching videos on backbone so subscribed. Anything it that it's fascinated I like.
Thanks so much for the review Tammy! And yes, Himalayan Orchid was inspired by Sea Salt and Orchid. :) Appreciate your feedback. :) And feel free to share your video and thoughts with others and groups! Have several new ones coming soon as well!
Thanks for your comment Wade! I am happy you approve I am already getting ready for a reorder of some of my favorites - looking forward to some new ones to try! 🤗
If you were making oils to use in clip on car air vent diffusers that have the cotton pads in them that you can put essential oils on them, would you still use a reed diffuser base or something else as the carrier? Thank you for this very informative video.
Hi Lisa! it depends - don't ya love it LOL - if there is NO skin contact (no refills or no stoppers that are then removed by the customer, basically 100% contained, then you don't have to follow IFRA - it can be 100%. If the customer is adding the cotton pads (I have not seen these so don't really understand how that works) they are having skin contact and then IFRA 10 A comes into play. Thanks for watching!!! 🤗
Thanks for this. I love that you waited and put the OOTB response AND the "in wax" assessments in one video because as we know, FOs can be very different when put into wax.
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique nope. my lard is 50/50 tallow/lard, coconut for cleansing but not too much or it will be drying, shea for moisture, castor for lovely bubbles and i always add a bit of salt for hardness. sugar will also add to bubble experience. for baby soap i use only olive oil and let set up for 8 months. super gentle. for laundry soap i use only coconut oil. must cut that within a few hours or it will get too hard to cut. love ur channel, thanks for sharing.
if by cooked you mean where you gently melt them and then quickly cool them then yes and no. if you butters come to you grainy -yes, if they come to you nice and soft with no graininess, I see no reason to do it. I am gently melting them in this process so that also helps with that
Online labels is like Avery - you have to buy their labels to use the maestro design tools and to print. It makes sense in a way, to be able to print on a shape they have to have the design area dialed in exactly to know where to print (does that make sense LOL)
Good morning. I love watching your videos. I was listening to this and watching when I can while working in my shop kitchen labeling bath salts. You were talking about how much of things you take. I had to laugh. I did the same thing with taking all my stuff when I first started. I too, have so many scents of soaps. I now only take 8 of each. I've never not had some to bring back home but at least less bars. I also don't put my entire amount of bars on my web site and I check the web site amount once or twice a week. I make sure I leave enough aside for my shop.
we certainly are similar! I did the same on my website, but then I would have one or two bars left, and not selling them, so put them on the website and then sell them, and then forget to take them off the website 😂😂😂 I'm a mess with it! I have a video coming soon with my new process - or my test of a new process - I am barcoding all of my products. I'm going to test it this weekend at my craft show to see if the extra time and money involved in putting barcodes on products will be worth it at a show.🙏
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique It takes a while to come up with the SKU's and I had so many products. We sell our honey and honey products as well. I used Online Labels barcode generator. I think barcoding it will make your checkout faster for sure. My problem is Square owns Weebly which I use for my web site, I use Square for check out in my shop, but what I have on my system here doesn't add to or remove it from the site which sucks! Good luck with it. Valerie
Great video! I’m a newbiee at making body butter and will try your recipe in a small batch. My butter thens to go hard after refrigeration and whipping and I have to start all over. I’m determined not give up. 🤔😊
I would suggest lowering your butter % and increasing liquid oil just a bit at a time. also some butters will set up harder (kokum is super hard while shea is super soft the good news is it is easy to melt back down, adjust, and then start over - good luck!🤗
I make shampoos, conditioners, and lotions strictly as a hobby. I have a very good conditioner recipe, however, I was searching for a alternative recipe just for variety. I tried junk after junk recipe. I reluctantly tried this one. It is remarkably good. It leaves my color treated, blow dried hair, soft and conditioned. The recipe is simple, and not too expensive. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and your knowledge and experience in general.
she is great! I did find BTMS for much less on Scented Expressions - I think it was like $16 or so a pound - crazy! I ordered a 5 pound bag so I don't have to worry about running out again and paying crazy money for it LOL
