Whipped body butters are among the most problematic. They melt under the summer heat and turn to liquid.  What is a vendor to do?

Some sellers do not sell their butters during the summer, given the difficulty. Others try to find solutions so they can continue selling a popular product.

If you want to sell butters, here are some ideas:

That exciting package of new supplies just arrived—but did you catalog everything? Learn the essential steps for tracking inventory, checking orders, inspecting products, and implementing Good Manufacturing Practices. Smart cataloging saves time, money, and future disappointment.

What does integrity mean for soap, candle, and cosmetic makers? From understanding copyright laws to crediting teachers and artists who inspire your work, discover why integrity creates a lasting impression in the handmade business community.
