    Lemon Zest/Rind and other additives

    Hi there! Did you happen to use fresh or dried lemon zest? I have seen people use lemon zest in glycerin soap bars, and it retain its brightness. I'm wondering if the air causes the zest to oxidise, if used as a topping instead? Not super crunchy but quite firm. I did use desicated coconut...

    Shrink Wrapping Small Soap

    Good morning all! I have a question regarding shrink wrapping smaller (and non-oval/square) soaps. I am having difficulty with heat sealing close to the small soap, resulting in excess shrink wrap and looking unsightly when shrinking. I am testing a loose seal as close as I can to the soap I...
