    Lotion Bars - a question?

    What makes lotion bars special? From a sales perspective. How do they differ from normal lotion carried around? How would you sell the benefits of a lotion bar? Differentiators from normal lotion. I dont do any form of lotion bar or liquid anything but it has always fascinated me.

    Loving this thread - learning so much - thanks guys - and not one single person has been crucified - awesomeness! I still think more information needs to be found out about skin and not soap.

    Soap Is Not Moisturizing?

    I read somewhere or heard somewhere that commercial soap and shampoo are basically detergents Some of the people do get a tad overboard with their convictions and then get all personal - I have been referred to as a troll and my country as non handwashing and and and - personally I am with you...

    Greetings from a little town no one seems to know exists

    i like you a lot - and i dont care where you live - welcome!!!!!! I just want to say that the skin has three layers all with different absorbent levels - am I correct in reading that your version of "absorbed" means into the blood stream?

    Soap Is Not Moisturizing?

    I agree with you on the disgusting so called medicinal bars out there. "Medicinal" really came from me going blind doing research on the skin itself and what the skin does. I have always believed that with the skin being the biggest organ it should be treated as a seaparate (but together) organ...

    Soap Is Not Moisturizing?

    My best suggestion would be do your own research and come up with your own conclusions - but mostly i would suggest that you try medicinal soap and hand out a few and then see the feedback. Always best to do the practise. There are many people who still believe that the skin is only the skin...

    Soap Is Not Moisturizing?

    Ag i dunno - there is SOOOO much on skin absorption - i think just go with what works - if you make an acne soap with charcoal and tea tree and the acne clears up - then it works. Some countries are incredibly protective of the big corporations and that why there are so many rules and...

    Soap Is Not Moisturizing?

    When it comes to living a healthy and natural lifestyle, what you put on your body is just as significant as what you put in your body. Your skin is the largest organ of your body and since it is porous, it absorbs whatever you put on it. A study published in the American Journal of Public...

    So Mad at Myself!!!! Lots & Lots of Lather.....Wild Goose Chase!

    I think it should be called MOH - Mass Oil Hysteria - we start soapmaking and then see all the oils that we can use (chicken skin fat............) and we lose our minds - reminds me of me at a Rammstein Concert.

    Soap Is Not Moisturizing?

    I think that the focus should shift from "the science of soap" to "the science of SKIN" So if anyone is researching anything to do with soap - then make sure to research SKIN

    The babies are currently on a mix of boiled egg yolk, sardine fillet, baby shrimp and some calcium powder. I have to say the food making process is just wonderful hahahaha. The big birds at the park we are at (we are at the backkkkk of the park though) are on a specially formulated flamingo...

    trade certified scales for soap making ( UK)

    My suggestion is to buy a low grade diamond scale - you can pick them up quite cheaply - to have a certified scale would mean a monthly confirmation wouldnt it?

    Soap Is Not Moisturizing?

    It just seems a complete hypocrisy when people say that soap only cleans (Ihave also been through the "burning at the stake" scenario) - my simple and confirmed logic comes down to one question "why bother with all the oil combinations if soap "only cleans" No one has managed to answer that...
