I actually still have some KOH left, unfortunately I threw out the soap. I've never used them together can you point me to some info on how to use them both?

How do you market salt soaps?

People selling soap at fairs with NO labeling! Drives me crazy! And when I pressed one woman about it she was REALLY NASTY & said she feared someone would 'steal'her recipe; btw it was palm, coconut & oilve oil... SERIOUSLY?!?! people are crazy.....

thank you all for your help! I did add some ABS to a recipe I had, but now I want to also get the charcoal and play with that in my soap. Thanks for all the support!

How to make it I would like to use ABS in my soap. So I woudl like to know how to do it. I thought I would buy ABS, crumble it up and add it to a batch. My questions are, first, is this possible? and second what oils woudl be good to use in the base soap recipe? I have heard that ABS contains...
