Collagen to Cold Pressed Soap

[user 58006]

Hi everyone hope everyone doing good .

Im just wondering the percentages of adding collagen into cold pressed soap .

thanks for everyone help

Why would you want to add it? Soap is a wash off product; I doubt it will be effective in soap.

Incidentally, it's cold processed, not pressed.

Rather than adding collagen to your soap, I'd be more prone to making a soap with beef tallow or lard and then making a skin serum that will promote collagen production in the skin (i.e. hyaluronic acid serum).

You realize collagen isn't vegan?

There is vegan collagen I’m pretty sure

Nope. There are vegan supplements and other vegan products that "support collagen production" - but no vegan collagen.

Not to burst your bubble... collagen used in soap is just a gimmick and doesn't work as "advertised".
The collagen just sits on the skin and does nothing but get washed away with the soap.

Your Mom would do better to take collagen supplements internally.

Although I agree with all the above, I don't see any reason not to give it a go as @DeeAnna mentioned here.

Collagen Peptides with Vitamin C is available in powder form. Check your local vitamin shop.
Add it to the warmed oils at a rate of 1 tablespoon PPO.
Also add a Vitamin E capsule, 1,000 IU PPO
Also add Vitamin A, i.e., Beta Carotene Soft Gels, 25,000 IU (turns the batter a pretty shade of golden yellow).

For my basic recipe, I would try Triple Rice Soap subbing shea butter for the lard. Skip the rice and rice bran. Choose liquid oils that are high in vitamins A, C and E.... (olive, sunflower, sesame, almond, or avocado) PLUS coconut and shea butter.

With the leftover collagen powder and vitamins -- you can give them to your mom or try creating a lotion or cream for her as well.

GOOD LUCK!

ETA: Horsetail extract or the herb infused in oil would be a good vegan option for the collagen peptides.
