    Acids in cp soap

    Hi! Thank you for your response! well really just Googling what they do, reading that oleic can disrupt the skins barrier and make it harder for the skin to absorb linoleic? I’ve also read that the acids don’t have a comedogenic rating but oleic can have a higher rating? Maybe it’s just better...

    Acids in cp soap

    Hiii all! I’ve been researching into the acids made up in soap, oleic, palmitic etc. I’m hoping someone can confirm whether or not I’m correct in thinking a soap with a higher linoleic acid and lower oleic value is better suited to the face? And Oleic better for the body? Or am I talking...

    Preservatives

    Preservatives

    The Efficacious Gentleman thank you for your response! I think your very right! I believe unless you’re researching it you end up believing the scary stories about preservatives and don’t really think about what would grow if they weren’t there. I know I’m asking a different question now but...

    Preservatives

    Thank you justjaqui! That’s great I’ll have a look! Preservatives feel like a minefield, trying to be as good as possible but not sacrificing quality

    Preservatives

    Hi all, so I have been reading and reading about preservatives. I was planning to keep anything like that out of my products when I come sell them but now I feel I could be doing more harm than good by doing so. I have come across that Benzyl alcohol and Dehydroacetic acid are considered fine...
