    Rules for giving soap away

    I don't have an allergies so I buy what I want and eat what I want. My husband has an allergy to sesame so when we eat he checks for it so I guess if you know you have an allergy you’re more inclined to check for it so if she knew she was allergic and even after you telling her, why on earth did...

    How Much Exfoliants in Soap?

    My husband is a joiner and always comes home with sticky filler stuff stuck on his hands and he was always raiding the bathroom cupboard for my body scrubs and even resorted to using my foot file! So he asked me to make him a hand soap, I use a salt bar recipe so high in CO as it needs to be...

    EO percentage in CP soap

    Yes since you’re in the UK like lily jo said you can only sell your soaps if it’s a maximum 3% fragrance/EO and my assessment worked that out by adding oils, sodium hydroxide and 10% of your water and it’s 3% of that. Just incase you are thinking of selling in the future it’s worth keeping to...

    New Soap Cutter

    Oh so sorry the cat lady....I managed to sell it on eBay🙌🏻 But if you’re after an amazing cutter I got it on Etsy and the shop was called soap craft tools and apart from it being the wrong size wire spaces (my fault) it was amazing and I would definitely use Andrey again!

    another newbie on the newbie board

    You’re very right on the U.K. regulations...everything has to be spot on and not a gram over, you have to name everything on labels including their ICIN names and you have to pay a special chemist to assess every time you make a new soap, same basic recipe but different mica and essential oils...

    What is your worst acceleration story

    I was making a strawberry rainbow soap at my daughters request. I had all the colours in their jugs ready and I added the fragrance to the jugs (rookie mistake) they all went to play doh in 20 seconds, I literally had to push each layer down in the mould and it looked better than expected but...

    New Soap Cutter

    Oh what a shame you live in the US as I am selling mine, it’s brand new from a great shop on Etsy but my mistake I ordered the wrong size (space in between the wires for my size of soap) It was from Russia so as I’m in the UK it will cost a fortune to send back😖 not sure what to do with it now

    Guar gum

    Just want to say I’ve made about 30-40 loafs of soap using 100% canned coconut milk as my liquid and had no volcanoes or heating issues. My soap goes through partial gel phase, left on the side uninsulated, but the ring disappears the next day and you would never know. I put one of my first loaf...

    Guar gum

    I use coconut milk instead of water and I make ice cubes with it and mix it with my sodium hydroxide really slowly bit by bit, this keeps the temperature down and stops it from scorching. I’ve done a salt bar with 50% coconut oil and it was fine, I was thinking about putting it in the fridge but...

    Ethical micas in Britain?

    I use soapery and soap kitchen for oils butters and micas. I use fresh skin for my essential oils and fragrance oils, the coconut fragrance oil and strawberry seized my soap up in seconds though so I’m on the look out for a new coconut fragrance...plus it didn’t smell at all like coconut so I...
