The green tea is more powerful and more expensive. The Green Tea liquid is primarily tea. You have to have a pretty sensative scale when using the power too. It only takes a little. I use the powder in my lotions and creams.

I'm just starting out too and that REALLY pissed me off when I read that.

Right now they just held a hearing on it. That means that nothing is in place nor has anything been written up. And the way our government reacts it will be a long time coming. Nothing may come of it at all. I just wanted to make people aware of what was happening. Did'nt mean to start a...

I have a Fresh Linen FO that I using tonight in a batch. I think it is very fresh and very neutral in scent. I travel a lot for my job that supports my habit:-) and I have run across a lot of gross smelling soap. Half of which smelled nothing like what it was suppose to be.

I know. I'm just starting out and this will fold me if it goes through.

But how many small businesses do you think will go out of business because of this? Can you afford it?

Since I am sort of new to soaping I have a question about rebatching. What benefit do you get out of rebatching? Does it change the qualities of the soap? Does it lower the pH? I do understand why you would need to rebatch a CP gone wrong. But I just want to understand why you would...
