    When to use VitE for an antioxidant

    Hi,:problem: I was wondering how to know when you need to use Vit E for an antioxidant in M&P. Most recipes I've found don't use it but some do. I was also wondering if you need it if you put sugar in your soap. Thanks! Heather

    Chocolate Milk soap pics

    Does the soap come out of the muffin tin? I have enough trouble getting them out of somewhat flexible molds and didn't think I could use something like steel. I really need a round soap

    What temp melts a plastic mold?

    I guess I have to find a temp gadget because the melt and pour soap melted all 4 of the molds. What temp should it be so it doesn't melt anything else? Thanks for your help! Heather

    Liabilities when someone has bad reaction (M&P)

    I read on a website that you have to have business insurance if you're going to sell soap. Just in case they have a bad reaction to it. I can see have it if you are doing Cold Process but if I used someone elses base how can I be liable? Do anyone have insurance? Thanks for the replies! Heather
