    Dial foaming refill

    And yours works in the Dial-brand pump? Perhaps it’s the essential oils? I use this Castile soap: https://www.thesoapery.co.uk/products/castile-liquid-soap-base-organic?variant=8149817000042 Thank you!

    Dial foaming refill

    Cutting CP soap with cookie cutter

    I’ve been eying that trial size sales- I think the trial sizes are 0.5 oz, or (14gr). What size are your small batches? My batches are 500gr, so that’s 2.8%, is this what you do?
