    Do I Have To Put My Home Address On Labels? (United Kingdom)

    Thanks for the advice, I have contacted an assessor and they confirmed that I do have to use my full home address on the labels unfortunately.

    Do I Have To Put My Home Address On Labels? (United Kingdom)

    I can't seem to find any information to say I don't have to include the full address. I know it's unlikely anyone would come round but it still makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. Plus I live on an avenue which is very clearly a residential address so I don't think it looks great. I just feel...

    Do I Have To Put My Home Address On Labels? (United Kingdom)

    Hi, I make my own cosmetic products from home and I'm working on the labelling. I'm based in the United Kingdom. My question is, do I have to use my home address on the label? According to the government website on labelling requirements, it says the following: "A Responsible Person must have...

    Liquid Castile Soap Is Sticky - Any Advice?

    I have looked into a ready made base but there aren't many that are palm free, and the ones that are just don't seem to be very nice. I do have some palm free melt and pour base though which made me wonder. I only ask about how long it lasts because it goes such a long way if made into a liquid...

    Liquid Castile Soap Is Sticky - Any Advice?

    Thank you! That's very helpful, and sorry for the late response, I've been on holiday :D Out of curiosity, I've been considering making some liquid soap from melt and pour soap, but I've heard it doesn't last very long. Does it not last as long as most liquid soap, say a few years?

    Liquid Castile Soap Is Sticky - Any Advice?

    Thanks but as I mentioned, I'm making liquid castile soap as opposed to bar soap.

    Liquid Castile Soap Is Sticky - Any Advice?

    Hi all, I'm trying to make some nice liquid castile soap which is simple enough, but it leaves the skin feeling a bit sticky. By this I mean after you use it, if you run your hands over your skin instead of it being completely smooth your hand almost jumps a bit because it feels a bit sticky...

    Sulphur In Liquid Soap?

    Oh I see, I'm not sure where else to post the question on the forum as I can't see a more suitable thread. Do you have any suggestions or where else I might be able to get some help on this?

    Sulphur In Liquid Soap?

    Hi DeeAnna, thanks for a detailed reply :) By a suspending base I mean a thick one that allows particles to suspend evenly through it, for instance I use one made by Stephensons at the moment (Suspending Body Wash) that allows me to suspend ground pumice in it, I was wondering if suspending...

    Sulphur In Liquid Soap?

    Hi, There are quite a few soap bases that contain sulphur, and it seems relatively easy to make a solid soap bar like this. I was wondering about adding sulphur to a liquid soap base, would this be equally easy? I know it doesn't dissolve very well in water, but what about dispersing it in a...

    Changing Percentages When Adding Ingredients To A Base

    Hi, I just want to make sure my maths is correct before labeling my products. If I have, say, 10kg of base for a lotion or cream, and add 2% of a new ingredient, would I do the following calculation? 10,000 / 0.98 = 10,204 And therefore add 204g of the new ingredient to make it 2%? Would I...

    Can I mix Salicylic Acid in a suspending bodywash base?

    Hi everyone, I've been looking at using salicylic acid in a suspending body wash base to disperse the powder. All my research into salicylic acid suggests it should be dissolved, but if it's a suspending bodywash does it actually need to be dissolved? Won't it be just as effective as long as...

    What % of argan oil to use in shampoo?

    Thanks for all your helpful responses, I've definitely got a much better insight now into argan oil and how to use it.

    What % of argan oil to use in shampoo?

    Ok it seems like 1-2% is best then, thank you :) And just to clarify, as this is a carrier oil all I need to do is add it in and mix it thoroughly, doesn't need to be heated or combined with anything else right?

    What % of argan oil to use in shampoo?

    Sorry I should have specified it's a liquid shampoo. The 'rub a drop or 2' is exactly what I'm trying to avoid really as I can't make bottles of shampoo and just add a drop or 2 of argan oil to it, I'll need to do a CPSR and give them an exact figure as a percentage. I know it does work well in...

    What % of argan oil to use in shampoo?

    Hi, I hope this is posted in the right section, I couldn't see anything specifically for shampoo. I'm looking to add argan oil to my shampoo but most people just seem to say 'add a few drops' or something vague like that. I was hoping to find a more accurate figure like a percentage to use...

    How To Make Even, Professional-Looking M&P Bars?

    Thanks everyone! I did ask Bud and he says he sells one on his website that uses a wire cutter but is for M&P, I'm not sure why that one is suitable when most like that aren't so I'm waiting on a reply there otherwise it might be quite good. A commercial hydraulic cutter might also be a good...
