Wow, I didn't expect so many responses. To those of you who have given helpful responses to my post - you are much appreciated. Thank you for supporting new members. I will work through your comments and take them on board. To those of you who said I should go and do some research - what do...

Thanks for that, I have given my recipes freely a couple of times an no one has to offer any to me of course. But I have been on the receiving end of much impoliteness on here myself and I have had enough now.

Good morning, anyone have any dog soap recipes please? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I will have to look into it and upload all the details. Can't wait!

With regard to the Eu database I have recently had an email from them saying they have deleted me from the database as I had not submitted any recipes. I didn't know I had to do that so I just registered as a soap seller. So now I have to re-visit that and see what needs to be done - oh I hope...

I found loads of help on You Tube and on Soap Queen TV, which is also on You Tube. As well as on here. I googled for much information and trusted that what sounded like a good idea and worked for others would work for me too. I didn't even look on the assessors website as I didn't know about...

Personally, I use Soapcalc for my recipes. It is on this link: http://soapcalc.net/calc/soapcalcwp.asp I didn't ask the assessor about any rules, just researched what is possible to use in soap to good effect and tried and tested various ingredients. For any fragrance oils, I checked the IFRA...

What rules specifically please?

Hi. I went through this process with the same assessor last July. I asked the same question, because, after making soap for 4 years and merrily sloshing in essential oil till it smelled nice, the rules for assessment had not come up and I found no info googling the questions. Hiya JuliaNegusUK...

That's an interesting point. I don't have issues with my own 100% coconut oil soap. I use 50% coconut milk with coconut cream to water and maybe this makes the difference?

Hiya, I paid £180 for 8 to be assessed on one recipe originally (just different fragrances colours etc). Then I added a number of other variations of the same recipe to the assessment at £15 each. At the same time I had a new recipe assessed with a number of variations to that also. Because that...

Whilst I have not made any of this soap yet (except the small batch for myself with just the tea tree in it) - the recipe itself is my usual recipe that I have been making for a year. The only difference being the EO's. It still has to be safety assessed even though its the same recipe. By the...

I will be in touch with the assessor when I can about it. I will only be using what he says I can use safely as a maximum. My question on here was just thrown into the mix to see what others thought prior to speaking to the assessor, who is absent right now. I have not been in touch with the...

Thank you Amara, I think it is the tone sometimes that gets to us. I have made it to one year exactly and this has not been a pass time for me but I have easily done 40 hour weeks for some months now. All my soaps were tested on myself, family and friends at the beginning. Much free soap was...

Thank you. How fortunate you are. Its the EU laws that are just over the top I think.

Yes, this is Australian tea tree oil and rosemary. I will check it out with the assessor. There is no ifra doc for the tt. But 1.23% of 900g is 11g which when you add the rosemary to it - total 22g of EO's. But the tea tree says to use only 3% on the sellers website. Thank you.

Hello Soapers, I feel slightly told off here and I will answer all your questions in response to my own. Firstly - Steve 85569. Thank you for your helpful reply. I had come to the same conclusion myself and that is why I queried it. The tea tree EO safe use says only 3% on Mystic Moments...

Hiya, I have had a Tea Tree & Rosemary soap safety assessed. I wanted to know from the assessor how many grams of each I could put into 900g of oils but it has shown as a percentage, It shows weight % to soap base as 1.23% of rosemary EO and 1.23% of the tea tree EO. Can anyone help please...
