So how many people here have trademarked there company name? It looks expensive and complicated., but it would be a pain if you started a buis and somebody stole the name.
This is the big thing I have been wondering about. The soaps I plan on selling are cream soaps, which use a combination of KOH and NaOH. I figured I would list the ingredients that I actually put into the soap rather than try to guess how the chemical reactions happened.
You could also use a triple beam balance. Google ohaus triple beam scale.
I think they are more reliable, and are very accurate. The only problem is they are a bit spendy. Sometimes you can find them cheap used.
You can make a thicker or thinner cream soap by changing the ratio of NaOH to KOH. The more NaOH the thicker or harder. You might be able to make a fluffier soap by adding more NaOH and then whipping it up in a mixer. I would think a denser cream soap with air incorperated would be fluffier.
Howdy Ian,
I saw the cross post to B&B. I've been experimenting with cream shaving soaps for about a year now. I know people love olive oil in soap over here, but the wetshavers aren't so enamored with it. I'ld ditch it. I'ld maybe cut down on the Shea butter, and cocoa butter and add a bit...
