is it required to list ingredients that are less than 1 oz?

I will be listing sodium hydroxide on my soap label. Undoubtedly customers are going to ask what that is. What is the best and easiest way to describe that ingredient without concerning the customers.

whole spices Has anyone tried using whole spices in the lye water then strain before incorporating lye into oils?

boy it's good to hear from all of you I by no means want to be dishonest about the labeling of my product. That is why I was reaching out to all of you for your advice. I want to make my soap as natural as possible, but I would never advertise my soap is all natural if there is FO in it and...

I have been browsing many recipes people offer and most of them have a HIGH cleansing rate (25-30). The recent recipe I wanted to try has avocado oil and mango butter, but the cleansing number is 26, and SF is only 5. Any recommendations?

As an alternative to synthetic fragrance oils I thought I would use ground spices we would normally cook our food with; i.e. cloves, ginger, etc. I had also thought of usihg whole dry spices in my lye water then strain before combining with oils. Has anyone done this and how did the scents...

I am creating labels for my soaps. Since FO's are NOT natural I am having difficulty using the description "all natural" on my label. Any advice/suggestions?

Is it possible/adviseable to store finished bars of soap that are made with oils that have a short shelf life (i.e., avocado, grapeseed) in the freezer so they don't go bad until you are ready to use them? I would like to tell customers to do this if they buy more than one bar of soap but I...

I want to add Rosemary Oil Extract to my recipe which contains hemp or grapeseed oil to improve their shelf life but I don't know how much to add (17 oz oil recipe). Any advice would be appreciated.

Has anyone order from this company before? If yes, what is the quality?

When I measure out lye beads they go everywhere. Seems like static is causing this. I've not had this problem before - any suggestions how to stop this problem?

Has anyone ever ordered from this company before? Was wondering the quality of their fragrance oils and if they stick in CP. They have a sale going on now but I've never used their fragrance oils.

When I cut this soap it was green on the inside. I'm fairly sure it will be OK one it cures but I would just like to know if there was something I did wrong when making it. Replaced water with coconut milk, wooden mold, put in 125 oven then turned oven off to cool. Mixed lye with oils when...

I for one would like you to call them and clarify the use of their clays for us and post what you find out. I just ordered french green clay and another one.

What is the difference in Lavender 40/42 and regular lavender? What origin has the best lavender?

I would like recommendations for a fragrance oil that would compliment a hemp soap recipe I just formulated. Thanks everyone

I made my own hemp milk and as wondering if I should just kust "hemp milk" on my ingredient label or water and hemp seed (which is what I used to make the milk).

I want to harden a recipe without affecting to much of the recipe I created. I know both Stearic Acid and Soybean Oil (full hydro) will do it. I don't know which one would be more appealing on the label. Any advice?

I purchased a bar of homemade soap last year and noticed in the ingredients that mention of the fragrance oils was merely "custom blended fragrances." I noticed in the tutorial DeeAnna posted (hope I didn't misspell her name) that she mentions just "fragrances" but if she add extracts or...
