    My Palm Free Vegan Soap Adventures

    Definitely as a condition factor. Soap can be quite hard even with higer procentage of coconut oil, but it will be better with some cacoa or shea butter :)

    My Palm Free Vegan Soap Adventures

    They turned out well. Decent soap bars! I came to the same conclusion about environment and soap recepies... Even if you can labeled one as a palm free and vegan, it might be not equal with environmental frendly. You should think about local indredients, cultivation and oil processing. Every...
