I went today, the lady had maybe 12 bars for display, all wrapped in clear celephane, couldnt smell a thing, no ingredients listed, i asked her what oils she uses, she said "palm , shea and coconut", i said no olive? Wouldnt that make a hard, drying bar? they were 3.75. Wasnt impressed.
 
Well i'm no expert but if you do 50 palm 20 CO and 30 shea. You get 54 hardness, 14 cleansing and a creamy bar over bubbly. I don't know.

So I guess it's possible. *shrugs*
 
true, i guess i was thinking of my co, PK bar, yikes was that bad!
 
I can't imagine though no olive but see I'm a total newb so i think "ok oo and...."
 
Yikes . No label ? I wouldn't buy soap with no label , if they can't be bothered to label , what else do they scrimp on ? If you were allergic or got something from the soap , there is no way to find the seller . No thank you :!:

Sounds like it could be MP soap?

Yup. That's what I was gonna say. There's a vendor over my way that does HUGE soaps for 5/$10 or something like that. And their story changes depending on the customer on why it's so cheap...

These are "extras" from hotel runoff..

My brother makes them..

We don't use packaging, so that's why it's so cheap...

I know, because everybody tells me what they tell them, lol!

Oh, and they tell everyone their soap is "all natural" too. :?
 
Vinca
are they rebatching hotel soap? what are they doing?
Yes, maybe the flea market lady soap was m&p, i like to see ingredients.
 
Actually, I'm surprised how many people don't even look at the ingredients. I have what it is on the front - like 'Lavender and Tea Tree' .... but I put the full info on the back (we have to here in the UK). Strangly though, nobody actually looks at it!! (Well, none of my customers anyway. :roll: )
