All my hand washing soaps are in bottles, are you able to make those? Liquid type soaps with those fragrances?

well I used to buy a liquid goat's milk base that could be mixed with fragrances but I don't get that any more (in fact the company stopped carrying it)

I haven't found a liquid base that does not have SLS or other detergents. If you can find an affordable one, I'd be happy to offer liquid soaps (bath and body wash, hand soaps etc)
there's liquid castille soap but in my experience it has a strong off putting odor on its' own and needed a lot of fragrance added, and even then, the scent of the liquid itself, when blending with the added fragrance, was very unpredictable,
some blends were ok, others were really bad. So I am leery of using that again. It could have just been a bad batch/bad company I don't know.


there are plenty of soap bases that use SLS but that is one of the things that most people are sensitive too. It's a very harsh chemical. it's also the thing that makes soap bubble, so some formulas have a LOT of SLS in it

I am interested however I'm not going to vote until I see the ingredients so I don't throw your count off. They look great btw!

Here's the ingredients for the white glycerin:
Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Glycerin (kosher, of vegetable origin), Sorbitol (moisturizer), Sorbitan oleate (emulsifier), Titanium Dioxide (mineral whitener used in opaque soaps)

For the clear glycerin:
Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Glycerin (kosher, of vegetable origin), Sorbitol (moisturizer), Sorbitan oleate (emulsifier)

Perfect thanks! I have added my votes.

Wow, I didn't know there were harsh chemicals in soap. Maybe it's time I go back to bar soaps specially knowing these are vegan!

I picked up a bottle of hand soap at vegfest that is very natural blablabla so I'll try to remember to post what is in it.

Whatever scent you ultimately decide, count me in for a batch of cat-shaped soaps! Many of my co-workers are owned by cats (hehe) and my mother-in-law too.

I seen somewhere that fabric softner is the worst for deadly chemicals. They are in everything anymore.

For US orders, I'm shipping in medium flat rate boxes which are $12.35 - quite a bit will fit in these boxes, I don't anticipate any orders exceeding this size but if they do, I'll use the flat rate large boxes or if it's more economical, a box of my own.
Small orders of 3 soaps or less (4 paw prints will fit in the small flat rate box, or 3 cats or 3 rectangles. Shipping for small flat rate boxes is $5.80 Several samples can fit in with the soaps as well.

For Canada these will have to be weighed and the shipping estimated.
[glow=red:2gn32ezw]THE BEST WAY TO ORDER PREMADES OR TO MAKE A CUSTOM ORDER IS TO POST HERE.[/glow:2gn32ezw]
Things can get very confusing in PMs :lol:
I will be taking all other (non RS) orders via email. Please do not send any payments til your order has been verified and I know if what you want is available or if there's enough supplies to fill any custom orders
please note: THERE MUST BE AN ORDER OF AT LEAST 3 SOAPS PER SCENT FOR CUSTOM ORDERS TO BE MADE UP.
what this means is that you need to order 3 full size bars (3 paw prints=1 full size bar) in the same scent OR you need to wait til there are a total of at least 3 bars ordered in that same scent, before the soaps can be made.
There really is no other way to do this without wasting a LOT of materials and it would be extremely time consuming as well. Thank you for your understanding
these are the scent choices for custom orders.
Orange Ginger
Double Mint
Bamboo and Green Tea
Blue Lilac
Twice Spiced (blend of anise and clove)
Tropical Vacation (coconut/mango etc)
White Tea and Thyme
Breakfast Bars (maple/oatmeal/coffee)
Citrus Sunrise (lemony top notes)
Sparkling Pink Grapefruit (w/other citrus)
Sweet Bay and Rose
Lavender

I have sensitive skin and can generally only use products like Aveeno, or things that are hypo-allergenic. Because the soaps are vegan, do you recommend them to people with easily irritated skin?

well Everyone's skin is different. I have extremely sensitive skin, which is the main reason I started making this soap to begin with.

One of my recent customers wrote:
"I keep meaning to tell you - I LOVE the soap! I have really super sensitive skin - and a lot of things can give me a rash. Your soap ROCKS! Smells awesome, works awesome!
I'm even using the paw print one to wash my face - and I love it!
Sooooooooooooooo just to let you know I am THRILLED with it!"

If you'd like I could send you a sample for 50 cents plus shipping (shipping wouldn't be much because it would only be a few ounces)

 

[GrayLightNewDay]

It's okay, I don't need samples. I'll just buy some and if it bothers my skin (which it sounds like it wont), I can give the rest to my mum or roommate. It's for a good cause, so I don't mind spending the money on it. :wink2:

Bear with me while I ask probably silly questions, but I've never been one to shop for soaps and lotions. So...what exactly is sating and silk lotions?
