Hi Nikki, you mean the brand of the material I used to make the soap? Unfortunately I don’t remember the name, but I got it from Michaels!

I know this post is a few years old, but I love these ideas! The only thing I’m curious about is what brand of soap did you use? If you get this, could you email that to me? Thanks so much.

I buy my lip pots from the jewelry department.

These are all so awesome ! I can’t wait to try these with the family!!! I have a quick question, where did you purchase the room spray containers as well as the lip balm and candle containers ?

I love your idea of sprinkling the lavender onto the actual soap; very creative!

These are all gorgeous gift ideas! Love them all!

Just a note, pure soy wax, in general, should be heated and cooled to 120*F for essential oils (if using fragrance oils, heat to 185*) to fully bond the oils to the wax and avoid it burning off. Cool to approx. 115*F before pouring, let cure roughly 48hrs, and you’re ready to burn! Using a thermometer (candy, meat, etc.) takes out all the guesswork and makes the finished products that much more consistent. Hope these tips help!
