I did this not long ago. Binned the whole batch. Smelt like ass. Excuse my french.

So why not use de-ionised water?

A calming lavender oil bath?

Yes. That went really well for her didn't it? ;)

Yeah. I did wonder how so many soapers on YT, etc... have literally hundreds of bars of soap and constantly make new things. There is a successful YT soaper who has used other peoples recipes for things (not just soap) and shows the making process. She isn't very accurate with measurements...

Just a quick question RE: cosmetic certification safety where you are... Over here 40-50 bars of soap to get certified would cost an eye watering amount of money (approx £1500!!!) What are the rules and regulations over there? I have seen lots of people with tens of dozens of items for...

I failed with a batch of coffee soap recently. Used a very fine local coffee merchant and made a very strong java brew. The resulting bars smelt like an ash tray. Not good!

This is me letting you have the last word. In the spirit of the community. :)

Not to worry! I recognize you're a knowledgeable source here! Even checked out some of your products, those jars of creams look great! Sorry we got off on the wrong foot! :D

Remind me again where you were trying to be helpful? Remind me again where those that have actually been on topic were not thanked for their input? I'm fairly sure you won't be able to point to an instance of either- bringing us full circle to your inability to read.

Great. Well in my first post in this thread I said "can they be trusted". Because I wasn't sure they made any sense- no where actually said why/how they are so high or low on the rating scale. This is why I asked a community with a lot of background and knowledge of such oils/butters. I...

Thank you. That link looks interesting. Will look at it in more detail. Edit: Just read through it- seems to confirm a lot of what I feared - might not be wise to trust them. Cheers T.E.G! Ferris.

Well I am specifically interested in their uses as moisturiser however the end information will be useful to all. I suspected it was to do with the fatty acid make up of each oil/butter - just like I learnt that those heavy in certain fatty acids spoil quick (e.g. Hemp Seed Oil). However...

Thank you. I will don't worry. I will contribute whatever I can and there are loads of great members on here who contribute brilliant content. Just remarkable how I thanked someone twice and got pulled up on it. Truth be told I still don't know if it is a molecular size issue. It just...

Can you not read? I said it is a very useful link and thanked her twice!!! I then said IN RESPONSE to her comment posted after my question that I'm not sure that is the reason for the ratings. How could I have predicted before she posted that would be said? This place is bonkers...

So how was the other response any different?!! I thanked MrsSpaceship for her contribution! In addition to killing a conversation- this thread was already dormant for months. I revived it to try and help others. This place is bonkers...

Please read what you just wrote. Even if I partly knew the answer. The fact I only partly know is surely reason enough to ask isn't it? All the websites so far that I have found simply provide the rating system with no explanation as to how they are derived. Furthermore I actually...

When taking advise. I always take it off people who can either do something I want to do or have achieved something I want to achieve. I hear/see people who know sod all dishing out all kinds of advise. I knew of a guy who to be fair to him is huge and he told someone that all the exercise he...

Thanks for the information. While you have offered the only explanation so far (and the link does indeed explain how it is worked out) I'm not sure it is to do with molecular size. Never the less that link is very useful. My thanks, Ferris.

I'm not sure you can. At least to people who already have made up their mind. It is mental conditioning. In the same way that people assume that fat is the worst thing you can eat. Well those that know are aware that fat isn't bad at all. Things like egg yolk have been vilified in favor...
