Welcome to forum Kathy :)

oh it is delicious, My hubby makes it with a lot of garlic and pepper, then after few hours he bakes it, :)

honey , propolis and royal jelly all are bugs food. Very difficult to preserve. Lotion is not good (that's my opinion) something is growing there. With that ing you need to use full power of preservative and add another one

2 parts of Patch 1 part of lavender :)

Patch and lavender or sweet orange EO my bestsellers, I have also body oil with the same combination. A lot of Hippy generation like that, For me it heavenly scent :) I do not like flowery scents though so it is probably why patch, spicy a bit and not sweet Bookreader451 That's right, Pot...

Lankan so you make it like I do . I mix koh with water, then add glycerin to it when a bit cooler. Actually I have no idea why it is banned in cosmetics in US and Canada, Europe have even more restriction that we have . I have customers who complained that they got the bb and they stained...

Lankan stop using food colorant cause it will stain your bathtub or skin. It is not allowed in US or Canada and I do believe Europe too. My liquid soap smells nice , If you using hot glycerin to mix KOH it could be the source of smell cause glycerin does easily burn, then the stink

I use slsa, using bioterge does not give me much of bubbles. Sorry I had not give you the inci name; Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate many people use it in combination with a bit of slsa. I would not use SLS it is very irritating :) Capb will activate the bombs and it is not that bubbly ...

No insurance will cover mold in cosmetics what is also important you need to do testing in case of claim as soon as testing fells , the maker is responsible of exposing people to danger, I can not imagine why people do buy products without preservation. We have such easy access to...

I am ok with it, Zany but if you never tested your soaps, you have not idea what is in it, I remember Susie had mold grown on paste . Hard to believe cause ph is so high, :) have a good weekend :)

Capb will not give you bubbles what about Bioterge 90? It can replace Slsa but it is not as bubbly as slsa

Do not measure in volume, if you want the consistent results. I get goose skin when someone measures in volume, It is highly unprofessional , serious maker measure it in grams ounces and excetera. Very good anchor for scent is litsea cubea. or mixing scent with Natrasorb powder is good too...

Welcome to the forum

Naticide must be accompany with other one cause it does not work against mold . You should read about it on Making skincare, I do preserve LS with Suttocide A , which you use in amount of 0.1% - 0.3%. Not good with citrus cause it drift into red color. Good for products with a pH of 3.5 to...
