lye on ingredients list?

[Guest]

Yeah, that's a good point. More talk is always conducive to making sales.

I really think that most people have NO IDEA what sodium hydroxide is as long as you don't call it lye. I think the chemical name is vastly preferable to the common name.

very true...and i plan on when i do start labeling stuff to include my email addy on there and be like any questions or concerns about ingredients or soapmaking process, please feel more than welcome to ask!!!

Even better, get yourself a good website. Have a contact form on your website. That's more professional. Go look at Lane's or SouthernEssence's websites for good examples. Even a less stellar website would be better than just an email address. IMO YMMV

It's interesting to see the contrast between USA and European cosmetic regulations.

Oh wow! I don't see how you can even make soap in EU except to give to family and friends. I've been reading a bit on the differing standards and they look impossible for hobbyists and hobby-businesses to achieve, mostly due to the cost of permits and other red tape.
