Hi folks,
I'm after your advice and opinion on the following matter, please. I make HP tallow based shaving soap which has been very well received by that fraternity.
The ingredients I use are as follows:
I hot fill my jars with approximately 4oz (115g) of just made soap and allow them to cure with their lids off for a minimum of two weeks. Of the +1000 soaps I have made I have had a very small number of reports (1%) where the customer has identified an ammonia type scent. A tiny anomalous number but one that is massively frustrating nonetheless and one that I want to permanently reduce to 0%.
I have my own assessment as to the cause but would like to put it to the floor and to those who have far greater soaping wisdom than myself.
I would be indebted for your thoughts, questions* and comments.
Kindest regards,
Kerry.
*I'll answer where possible but naturally am unwilling to detail my exact recipe and method
