    using plant pulp/mushed fruits in soap??

    I have taken some tofu and fruit and make a smoothie and added it at trace. It was nice but I am so in love with coconut milk and yogurt now. It did not feel the same as adding those items. I have never had any spoilage with any of my food soaps. I put alot, I mean a whole lot of food in my soap! :)

    Temperature

    When I first began doing this, I was a slave to that thermometer! It had to be 90 for one and 85 for the other... :evil: No. I like to pour around 100 degrees and now I can just about 'feel' when its time to pour.

    Liability Insurance

    Get your insurance and license if you are going to go for this. You know how it is these days. Everyone wants to sue somebody. If you have a website with goods for sale I would definately purchase these things.

    Soaps without fragrance but with looks to kill

    I don't mind a pretty non fragranced soap. I love all kinds of handcrafted soaps. I also see where you are coming from. I think alot of us like to handcraft for ourselves without all of the excessive chemicals alot of commercial soap companies add. :D

    PLACING M&P IN PLACE OF BUSINESS

    This could be a great way to get your product out there. I have done this before with other items. The people that had the stores were my friends and we BOTH kept track of inventory and money earned so that there would be no misunderstandings. Keep in touch with the storekeeper often. Good luck! :D
