Confession of the never ending loop of regret and remorse- 1. I have had $2,000+ of soaping supplies in virtual shopping carts all over the world for about a month, BUT my budget is 1/10 of that. 2. I cannot push a purchase button...ever. 3. So I go back to my design notebook and spreadsheets...

That's helpful to know Cromollient SCE and AquaEm didn't work for your taste as I feel that most of my friends and family would have similar feelings if too much oil stayed behind on the skin. I'm the opposite- I'm a greasy butter lover. :) I forgot about c/c glucoside as a possibility. Too...
