Fibre additives in CP

[Jeboz]

I finally tracked down a local (Australian) company with tussah silk. She had milk fibre, corn fibre, camel fibre (mixed with silk), pineapple fibre and other interesting fibres along with many (mainly sheep) animal varieties as expected.

I have ordered a few of the top mentioned ones in small amounts to have a try. Interesting........... will I waste my soap trying them?

Wow great find!!

Wow!! That is a good find. I have added silk to my soaps in the past, I thought it added extra slip. Maybe it was just wishful thinking.

Wow I've never heard of milk fibre before!

I've only every used tussah silk, I have seen where others have used corn silk. The others, I've not heard of being used in soap....very interesting tests in your future.

Looks like milk fiber/fibre is made from casein, the protein in milk.

That store also has banana fiber! I'm jealous.

I just got bamboo silk in the mail that I orderd from my mica obsession here in Aus. Can't wait to try it!!

Pineapple fiber made into cloth makes beautiful, expensive, traditional formal wear over here. I'm very curious about using it in soap. Looking forward to your tests!
