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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi everyone, I've started making large batches of melt and pour soap bars using custom HDPE molds and a regular soap cutter (block of wood with a marker plus a blade). It works fine, but the soaps aren't completely even and weight different amounts. I think this is largely because of the cutter...

Hi everyone, I'm looking at the costs of making CP soap (which is my preferred option) but comparing it to melt and pour it seems far more expensive, is that right? For instance, assuming I did some bulk buying I can get organic coconut oil for around £7/l, and that's one of the cheaper oils it...
