I recently bought a pound of Michaels to play around with and see if I would be interested in doing soaps. It didn't lather well and wasn't very emollient. I use BB Shea and Goats milk and they're great. My husband was the guinea pig :) with a cool water bar I made and he smells great.

I was wondering that as well...I do recall a few posts where some were saying that Vit E was/was not a preservative. I know that in my dog's food...Vit E (tocopherol) is the preservative. So what's the thing to use?
