I put a note on my label - natural oils used - and that seems to cover it If I am using lard or tallow or anything then I label that clearly. Some vegans tend to go completely overboard with the "save the planet thing" but then are happy to go and buy their seeds in plastic packets...

interesting discussion The one thing I did pick up was that it was implied that South African government is only now teaching its kids to wash their hands. Well I am sorry that the parents of the writer of that comment did not teach her/him about cleanliness but ours did. I am 55 and I clearly...

Run out of oil I am sooooooo frikken grumpy - will go drive over something to get rid of the tension. Similar to PMS.

But you are coming across as autocratic and only prepared to preach dogma without considering other options, new ideas, new trends. And if someone does have a dissenting opinion then they are labelled (i recall seeing myself being labelled a troll somewhere which I ignored), which immediately...

Chillie Cheese and bacon wraps

I have only questioned TWO threads - so the exaggeration of the above is completely out of order- apparently people arent allowed to question anything or bring forward new ideas either. Even people who have been soaping for decades have mistakes and failed batches. Its just the way of artisan...

I completely messed up my recipe and I dont think my one batch is ever going to harden - so dont feel lonely

I would love to say I know what you are talking about - but I dont. I just like the way they look in shorts. The rugby players that is.. :-) (old but still a perv) This is the year for the last season - i am gagging to know what happened. On my bucket list to travel around Namibia. I lived...

nooooooooooo it actually dissolves onto your skin - some of our more luxurious spas here offer gold facials. People with to much money are fine by me - i will take some of it. Am thinking of corporate gifts as well........... maybe. maybe even sell to duty free shops - tourists taking home some...

Just saying - South Africa = Rugby. But cool idea - make a ruby ball soap for the merchandisers to sell - drunken rugby fans will buy it for their home bars. South Africa rocks at rugby. Boerewors is da best And biltong rocks my world. pe perhaps a beer soap!!!!!!!!!!!

HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Just messing with MP and gold leaf. Bought some gold leaf - but by the price I figured it was a mix of mostly copper Melted down a MP sample I had and added in gold leaf - it turned black . Used pure clear (still trying to figure out how to get it crystal clear though - and added gold leaf and...

soooo prettty - your soaps and you - jsut noticed you put up a photo.

ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh so cool - i looove colours - cant wait to play with them.

goi going to start using 5% castor - see what it does.

Good discussion Personally I dont believe that entrepeneurs should be restricted to a 1 year thing. But I suppose that most people will have to do what they are confident in doing. As far as giving hand made soap a bad name - thats what samples are for arent they. The business side of it...

Yep i agree I use very small loaf moulds (1.5 Kgs - about 3.4 pounds) so I can mess around with it without losing hundreds in wastage

My mind is wandering and I was thinking about how the first soap was made and how soap was discovered. First I was thinking of the cavemen but then I realised that they didnt bath very much did they so I am imagining all different types of scenarios of how the first soap was "invented" Was it...

I live in South Africa - the land of skin cancer, UV rays and outdoor lifestyle - I had the same issues that your daughter has so I feel her pain. My recommendation is twofold - go buy some CLEAR melt and pour with no additives, no perfumes, no nothing in it and make up some bars for her - if...

When you start a new job - you learn about the job and the company and the products on the job dont you? Same with soaping. BUT I would say that start with melt and pour - it makes your life so much easier. I started soaping with MP when I urgently needed cash - so I began immediately to make...
