No one is offended here!

Thank you, Shgre! I'm no expert, but I am an enthusiast and I'm just trying to learn. Let's just all put this aside and just move on. It's soap, people... I love the name, by the way!

Thank you! Great minds think alike! :)

Please update me with your process and how it goes!

DeeAnna, if I misunderstood you I apologize. Based off of your comment I assumed you were being rude because it was rude. At that point I did not comment and you changed it because you probably had a feeling it was a rude way to treat someone.

It was deleted before I commented but nice try.

I think that saying is objectively false. Perhaps it can only be applied to innocuous offenses.

Thank you for your commentary.

I'm sorry everyone but I think you're biased. She says? "Ahem" which is tongue in cheek, who is the audience of this joke? I apologize if I made the wrong asusmption, truly. Clearly if you edit a comment you must regret the way you talked though.

There are some good answers on here! I don't think so. This is how she addressed me originally. With condescension. If that is not insulting and unhelpful I don't know what is.

I see what you mean. I meant surfactant in a particular way that is used colloquially - a chemical surfactant. This is helpful, thank you.

What an excellent and helpful response. Thank you so much!

Again, a surfactant in colloquial terms is not referring to soap, but the chemicals used in it. In colloquial terms no one refers to soap as an added surfactant/chemical. But you, being very literal, have come to correct everyone rather than help. I would appreciate it if you leave this post...

There are a couple of definitions. Soap is and of itself is a surfactant, but it is not a chemical surfactant. Most liquid soaps are made of chemical surfactants and not saponified oils. I don't understand why you came in here with a bad attitude. It is unfortunate. You are by no means...

Thanks for your response. I understand that you are categorizing saponified coconut oil as a surfactant, and while it is cleansing, by modern standards it is by no means a surfactant.

Hello, I am looking for someone who is experienced with shampoo making. How is it that a soap company can make shampoo that doesn't have a very cleansing feeling with just these ingredients in the pcicture? It's a very nice feeling shampoo but everyone also says you need surfactants for...

Hi DeeAnna, That is exactly what I am talking about. Glycerin in KOH soap. This process I just don't understand. Thank you for sending me that source.

Thank you for your response DeeAnna. So it sounds like an unnatural surfactant is not needed since soap naturally is a surfactant. I'm wondering how to make a good shampoo without multiple added surfactants. Most recipes I see use 2 or 3 surfactants with glycerin. Do you know any good recipes...
