This question was asked in this thread, but never answered. is there any reason one couldn't make a liquid soap using KoH and use it for tooth soap? I'm thinking that if you left it thick and didnt dilute it as much as normal, then you'd get something quite thick, almost like normal...

You could buy the arabian spice from BB and mix it with just about anything for a spicy addition to an old favorite.

Hmmm.... Its kinda of cool effect if you could make it consistent throughout! that being said, have you had your product tested for its effectiveness? By labeling it and selling it as sunscreen, you are making a claim that it will alter and protect the skin and that falls under the FDA, much...

The other issue with not using the polysorbate is that the oils you use will make the tub slick and could possibly result in someone slipping. NOT good PR for your bath bombs! The polysorbate disperses the oils throughout the water and it rinses the oils away quite well without leaving the tub...

I bought the strawberry jam from bittercreek south and its really quite nice. It was recommended to me by a fellow soaper. It isn't sweet or candy-ish smelling.

I use tetrasodium EDTA at .2% that is 2 grams in 1000 grams of soap and it really does help with soap scum. from lotioncrafter: Tetrasodium EDTA EDTA, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is a molecule which complexes metal ions in aqueous environments. It is available in four neutralizations...

Its a very drying soap. They make all kinds of claims about its healing ability and it supposed to be good to use for poison ivy. I just found it drying. ChinahSea, what video did you watch?

No offense, but you are trying to run before you even know how to walk. In fact, you are trying to run a marathon before you even know how to walk. Start with a simple one pound batch of soap, 16 ounces of oils. Oil, water, lye. Anything you add to your soap may change the outcome. It can...

would you be willing to send me a sample? If they work, I'd buy at least 200.

My niece has requested a facial lotion with sunscreen. I have zinc oxide ordered. So what is the usage rate so that its effective, but not be like bullfrog where it makes one look like a ghost. is this even possible? The herbaire says its usage is 1%-15%, but that what they sell isn't...

It seems to me that you are, with the OO superfat, trying to replace the oils that the bar of soap strips off your skin. So why not just lower the cleansing to about 21, and leave a little bit of the natural oils on the skin.

Maybe it would be better if you boiled it down (reduced by half), then dissolved your lye into 50% water, added to your oils, THEN added your whiskey. Or how about treating it like a fruit... 5% max usage.

I like both of these places. Both are very knowledgeable, friendly and I've learned a ton from both places. Thanks again to the admin for letting me post about our board being down. :)

wont lemon juice dry out your skin?

this one is highly recommended for smaller amounts, but not good for soaps as it doesn't go high enough: http://www.tkbtrading.com/item.php?item_id=1045

we are not in the loop as to what Steve has planned. Someone emailed him and said that he was working on it, but it takes time to fix. In the meantime..... we are left without a place to go. I started the forum there on FB. I had a few email addy's because of the Valentines swap we did...
