Yes, and that is what I did. I didn't find anything specifically about shampoo bars and not cold processed soap,, hence my starting a new thread.

I see syndet shampoo bars with 2% pyrithione zinc available for sale through Etsy and other sites. Where can I find a recipe to make this?

I know this is a really old post, but I just came upon it, since I'm on a lotion bar kick and am reading all the old threads. Re. hemp seed oil being helpful for joint and muscle pain, I don't know. There have been studies that have shown CBD and, possibly even more so, THC from cannabis helps...

Yes, actually my latest review is that this recipe is too soft. Will up the mango butter and beeswax and add IPM in the future.

I just tried this recipe I saw online, which calls for the same three main ingredients (no IPM), using less beeswax and it was much less sticky/waxy/greasy. I like it: 40% meadowfoam oil (she used almond oil) 35% mango butter 24% beeswax 1% Vit E

Speaking of Isopropyl Myristate, what percentage do you all use in your LB recipe? I have used it at 1% and not noticed much of a difference in reducing greasiness. Someone here said you could even replace all soft oil with IPM, but I wouldn't go that far. What have others found? And is...

Yes, sorry, I would add 33% meadowfoam seed oil. Are you saying that I might need to up the beeswax with the mango butter and MFSO combo because MFSO is softer than CO? Is that others' experience? How much beeswax do you add to your combo? Thanks! Does anyone add Vitamin E?

My previous lotion bars were 1/3 coconut oil, 1/3 shea butter, 1/3 beeswax. I don't add EO or FO because I love the honey scent of our local beeswax. But way too greasy and tacky. So I got some meadowfoam seed oil. And I see recommendations for adding isopropyl myristate and Vitamin E in...

I went ahead and ordered elsewhere, even though I don't like the way any of the others work or are made. I don't know why Ian at Simply Body Soapnet doesn't put a message on his website if he's not in business anymore. I just placed a small order there just to see what happens. It went...

I am gearing up for a big holiday market and I like to offer soap nets, too. The best I've found are the Simply Body Soap Nets from a guy named Ian. Simply Body Soap Net I contacted him about making a wholesale purchase and he didn't respond. I filled out the contact form on his site and no...

Is citric acid an effective chelator?

I did. Have not gotten a response. However, upon further investigation, it appears that the original LaserCutz (in Great Britain) has moved off of Etsy now. So the usaLaserCutz is different. Will post again if the Etsy site person responds.

I had a soap stamp made by LaserCutz on Etsy a few years ago. They were in England. Now on Etsy I see a company called usaLaserCutz. Are they the same people? I'd like to have another stamp made, but I'd like to go to the same guy. Thanks! Jill

I know that cassava is also called Yucca, but this is a different kind of yucca I'm talking about. The agave-like yucca plant.

Has anyone used yucca powder in their CP soap? How much and when do you add it? Where is a good source to buy it? Thanks! Jill

Great, thanks for the feedback, Zing. You find that that blend "sticks" in CP soap? Thanks again, I'll try it.

Yes, I saw those blends as being good ones, too.

I bought a very small bottle of Goldenrod EO and will try to dupe it with other EOs. It's a grassy scent, with a little floral and a little pepper.

Yes, I have seen soap made from goldenrod-infused olive oil and goldenrod tea. But I don't think that would impart much fragrance into the soap. Goldenrod has a unique smell I'd like to duplicate. Not sure what else smells like it.

I have been asked to make a goldenrod soap. The essential oil is very expensive and I haven't found a dupe FO. I could infuse olive oil with goldenrod. What else could I do to make it smell like goldenrod?
