    Shark Tank Soap Pitch

    If you place an order it says something to the effect of "Thank you for your order, we will inform the elves to start making your soap." No whwre on the site does it say they make the soap.

    Natural Recipies Please for M & P

    To add to what PrairieCraft said, natural is not always better or better for you than man made. There are a lot of things found in nature that are harmful so don't get caught up with labels. Natural does not = good and manmade does not = bad. You will need to do lots of reaserch on an ingredient...

    My bars do not sweat. Never had one since I have been using this base. With that said it is a very soft base so the bars are softer. I always wrap, or snap the lid on my clamb molds, w/i a few hours of unmolding.

    using perfume in m&p soaps

    Perfumes are NOT water based, they are alcohol based. You do not want to add alcohol to your M&P base. Bosy mists are water based, very, very diluted.

    I buy from essentials by catalina and columbus foods, they have the best price for mid sized quantity. You can get 20# (or 24#, I forget) blocks at columbus foods & catalina has a great price when you buy 40#s.

    Chemicals in my M&P do not bother me. It is a wash off product. I am more concerned about what goes in (foods/meds/herbs/etc) my body that what washes past it. There is a customer base that will only buy all natural soap, but it is very minimal, so unless that is who you plan to target...

    What do you mean it "is glycerin"? Glycerin is 1 ingredient but there are many other ingredients in it as well. The M&P "glycerin" soap base I purchase contains :Coconut Oil, Palm Oil.Castor Oil, Safflower Oil, Glycerin (kosher, of vegetable origin), Purified Water Sodium Hydroxide (saponifying...

    This thread should clear up why you M&P is or is not soap, is or is not a cosmetic & is or is not a drug & what your legal requirements are. This comes up a lot so I thought I would make it a sticky. http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-218.html Is It a Cosmetic, a Drug, or Both? (or Is...

    If it is M&P. it is probably not soap, it is probably a detergent which is considered a cosmetic by the FDA in the USA so by law you must list the ingredients. Yes, I do.
