I bought a Rose wax and some other ingredients from a big (seems very big because of variety of ingredients) company in India, received the products and doubt the authenticity of their products. They do have a label of USFDA registered Co, but I don't know how to verify it. Is there anyway...

I want to make the CP soap with fresh strawberry puree and coconut cream (ingredients from the label: water, coconut flesh and guar gum). I never did a soap with fresh additives and have no idea when and how I should add them. If the recipe needs 10 oz of water, should I replace partially (I...

I just tried my recent batch of CP soap and puzzled with the feeling it gives me right after I wash the soap off. It's weird and feels like squeaky clean, kinda sticky on skin to skin contact, rubbery and something close to compare like the fingers on a balloon feeling... rrrr.:???: I never had...
