I think we may be at cross purposes?? I'm in the UK and bought my my dish soap from a UK seller. Are the rest of you in the US? The word "realtor" is the giveaway - we call them estate agents 😁

Thank you 😊

Isn't it interesting how people can think so differently? I really like my solid dish soap and find it very effective and versatile (it cuts grease so well I use it on my cooker top). I came in to soap making for eco reasons to avoid additives and plastics, so I guess the dish soap fits right...

Fantastic! Thanks so much. I'll make this when I've finished the ones I've bought.

Good idea! Why didn't I think of that? 🤔. 90% coconut and 10% castor oil, with citric acid. What properties would the castor oil have, oh you infinitely knowledgeable lovely people?

I'm very interested in this thread. I currently use a solid dish soap bought from Etsy and I'd love to know how to make my own. Mine is in a reused glass ramekin (from some commercial desserts) which has never come to any harm. It doesn't seem to do my hands any harm so I'm thinking it has more...

Thanks for this. Yes I do, but do they mix completely without any residual grittiness or smell?

Thanks. There's actually no starch in it, just ammonia caramel, glucose syrup and salt.

Thanks for your help. Above are the ingredients

I have a question. Is it possible to use gravy browning in CP soap? I've bought a Christmas Pudding fragrance and want to make a brown and creamy coloured swirled soap. I'm aware I can buy mica powder but my philosophy is to try to use things that are available around me. Any ideas?
