    Making my first cold process soap batch

    1 issue with that grant it some do but others spend a long time looking for a reliable thorough source(s) of information for certain items like essential oils or butters etc. I personally like the sources that list pro's and con's of any given item etc. I have also seen sources say there are...

    Making my first cold process soap batch

    Ok so let me get this right even if you don't make a claim and you don't personally list benefits but you link a outside source to more info about a item that some how still makes you look like your claiming and or stating benefits even when your not? Bit dumb to me personally but then again I'm...

    Making my first cold process soap batch

    I have searched on the subject for here in the UK but seems like I'm either looking in the wrong place or I have a better chance of finding a Ghost chili and dying from eating it. but would have though saying contains (essential oil) here is a link to more information on it and how it's obtained...

    Making my first cold process soap batch

    Really? I though as long as you did not claim that your soap cures,treats, prevents etc (what ever issue) even if you listed background info on the products in your soap as long as you clearly state that the background info was on the products used in your soap was for informational purposes...

    Making my first cold process soap batch

    Makes more sense once put that way Alfa_Lazcares. Still tho if it does not moisturize it should not be labeled as such. Also I tried dove soap it makes me itch and drys my skin and I tried a competitor that was supposed be drying and all that was better for me then dove. They have dove baby...

    Making my first cold process soap batch

    cmzaha, right ok so it can't be high cleansing and avg to high moisturizing but now i'm confused most soap recipes in my new books that are supposedly highly moisturizing run on soapcalc are over 22+ (round 24-27) when it comes to cleaning and around 50+ on moisture how can it be moisturizing...

    Making my first cold process soap batch

    Thankfully I am only making for family and friends as I'm not paying £180+ to run tests an such on my soap base just to sell legally here in the UK but that may change down the line at some point once I graduate from my hand and foot reflexology classes as well as holistic back pain management...

    Making my first cold process soap batch

    this was also about 4-5 years ago before I left the USA and the shea and cocoa butter were raw, organic and unrefined as I like the smell (still do thats prob why the cost is more anyway). it's still roughly $8+ from the dealer I bought from, even the refined stuff I tried from brambleberry is...

    Making my first cold process soap batch

    cmzaha yes I want a moisturizing bar but I all so need it to clean really as sometimes my husband and me have very oily skin. I know it seems daft having high CO in my soap but I like CO and have never felt like it was to drying. I have read up a bit more on Barbassu oil and concluded that I...

    Making my first cold process soap batch

    Forgot to add that I most likely will not make another batch of soap with bother rapeseed and olive oil again just because it's way to soft and I doubt a very long day time will help that but I could be wrong. It does lather quite nicely tho. Also bought 3 new soap making books for the heck of...

    Making my first cold process soap batch

    I use quite a bit of tumeric to make my cheesy bacon risotto and yes tumeric is pretty cheap here I can get a bag that almost 2lbs for maybe $5 max. It also makes a decent face mask for inflamed skin only downside you look like a oompa loompa after.
