Hey, i think I know who you are talking about. Is this on Etsy? To be honest, I love ACV soaps...better than GMS IMO. And if this person was selling "vagina soap"--it could be just called vagina soap for SEO purposes. Check to see if they have disclaimers. Because if they do have disclaimers...

Busy day I made 4 loaves of soap so far today and it is now 6pm. They were: unscented gms, manly man beard wash/shampoo bars with apple cider vinegar, sex on the beach soap with cranberry puree, and i just finished up a manly man facial bar batch. I may do another loaf tonight but havent...

I charge $4 for basic bastille-type soaps, $5 for goats milk soap, $6 shampoo bar (but those are bigger and residue-free).

I made Goats milk soap but.... This is by no means my first batch of gms. but, for some reason, when i poured the lye onto the frozen milk and it was dissolving as usual-halfway through it started to look grainy.... it also had a rotten egg smell... i continued stirring for half an hour...

okay. It was about 7. the ph test strip said between 7 and 8. A woman who had a soapmaking shop taught me how to test this and what strips to use. I was just assuming that was the correct way, since I know that many other soapmakers do it also. I have had soaps that were 9. My soap is indeed...

Yes, you can. look it up on youtube, there are loads of vids teaching you how. You just have to keep it at the lowest temp and have a stick blender handy because it will try to seperate and make "buttermilk". I've done it with Cpop and hot process and it turns out great every time. You might...

I've never heard of anyone else doing this, but mine are usually so hard and cool that I take them out of the mold just a few hours after I make it. But I CPOP, put it in the fridge for 2-3 hours, if its still warm I put it in the freezer for 30mins and then its usually time to unmold. Then cut...

I made ACV shampoo bars last night. Here is the reason why I wanted to add the ACV directly to my shampoo: I love ACV, use it everyday for boo-boos, reducing buildup in shampoo, facial toners, acne treatment, cleaning, cooking, etc. I hated how every shampoo bar I have ever used had buildup...

do you know where i can get saw palmetto extract?

I ran it through the soapcalc. findings linked above. According to the cdc saw palmetto reactions or allergies are unheard of. babassu is more likely to cause a reaction. also, i couldnt find any reports of palm oil allergies.

this is my recipe, made for me. soapcalc pdf linked below for coconut and tree nut free soap recipes. i myself am not allergic to nuts but i make soap for people that are. my shop is called made4hypersensitives and I help those people out that are suffering from dermatitis due to soap. i have...

Been making my own products for over 4 years, no issues finding ingredients until the saw palmetto incident. i just want it to saponify.

I only use veggie base oils thank you. I will be using my recipe with goat milk to make milk soap. these soaps will be going in my hair as well so animal fats arent the best because of buildup as well.

I realize that and I am okay with paying for quality product. but all since i want pure saw palmetto a supplement wouldnt be the answer since they contain added glycerins, alcohols, and cellulose. I've been investigating them all week but haven't found one pure saw palmetto.

I am vegan, organic, and i live in Alabama, USA.
