I make a very simple surfactant bar which although it isn't sulphate free, seems to be pretty kind to my sensitive scalp. I melt sodium coco sulphate powder in a little coconut oil and add some silk or rice protein - that's it. It makes a hard, long lasting bar which gives great lather. I have...

I've failed to get an attempt in this month unfortunately, and now on my way to Scotland to visit family so won't get a chance before the deadline. The ones already on the entry thread look great, well done everybody so far!

Petitgrain is lovely with grapefruit and bergamot. I think including black pepper with petitgrain might be a bit heavy. Black pepper is great with bergamot at a rate of around 1:2.

Needless to say - I love to swirl and appreciated the inspiration in the last challenge :)

Really lovely pattern, well done! When I saw the first pictures I thought it was a funnel pour - then I saw your method pictures - really impressed you created that design from stripes!

Yes it does make it a big commitment to begin selling here. Hence why I am starting so very small! But you're right it does mean people have to know what they're doing before being set loose on the general public!

Love it! Great choice of colours too :)

It was £179 for 8 variations - from cosmetic safety assessment UK. This is the best value that I could find in the UK! They were also very helpful with questions. Regards to the variations - yes your base recipe stays the same and your variations can be additives only - scents, colours...

My safety assessment came back today!! So I now have a range of 8 soaps which (subject to some further form filling) I will be legally able to sell in the EU! :) To be honest going through the safety assessment was easier than I thought it would be. It's been something I was nervous about for a...

Not_ally I'd love to hear your results with aroma chemicals - please keep us updated! I've peeked at them a few times but not taken the plunge yet!

Ahh I have mould envy again! And I really fancy a cutter like that too!

I've only managed one attempt this month so I'm afraid you've already seen my entry in the other thread! Here goes: Poured using squeeze bottles in horizontal lines Leap frog pattern across in the horizontal direction Diagonal loop in the vertical direction My humble swirl tool is a glass...

Congratulations :)

I think those would be different recipes, variations i think means things you add to your basic recipe e.g. scents or colours. But the best thing to do would be to email them to ask - they were pretty helpful when i was enquiring!

Wow that looks amazing!

Thank you :) I'm going with scott grainger at cosmetic safety assessment uk. 8 variations on one base recipe. I'll try to keep you all up to date with the process in case its useful for any other EU soapers!

I sent my recipes away for my safety assessment today! For those of you outside the EU, completion of this (alongside a whole host of other paperwork!) means that I will be able to begin to be able to sell my soaps! My plan for summer holidays now is to work on my branding, packaging, website...

So many nice soaps on this thread already - well done everyone! Some pictures of my attempt so far (although I don't know if I will have time to try again so may end up being my entry!) I poured in thin stripes using a squirt bottle, then used pattern E - the leap frog - across the mould in the...

BTW you need to read my posts in a Scottish accent :p
