Lovin' The Homestead
Yeah, what FF said. Brilliant.Farmfresh said:In the commercial world they just dress up the name of basic ingredients for example:krisac said:I suppose my eagerness comes from an open door I don't want to miss. The ladt who made goats milk soap and lotion with VERY dedicated customers has moved out of our shop....Opening...but as fast as our shop fills up someone is going to come in with these products before I can get the jump on it. the customer's looking for goat's milk soap probably are not going to my homemade crisco, lye water, lavender soap. They look at ingredients and it has to at least sound more appealing than that. So yes I'm trying to learn and jumping hurdles at the same time. It's a simple matter of trying to find a way to survive.
Sodium hydroxide = lye Sodium tallowate = lye + beef fat Sodium cocoate = lye + coconut oil
According to Crisco the ingredients of it are: Soy bean oil, fully hydrogenated Palm oil, partially hydrogenated palm and soy bean oils, Mono and Diglycerides, TBHQ and Citric Acid (antioxidants).
So YOUR soap could have an ingredients list that says ... Soy bean oil, Palm oil, Glycerides, Sodium Hydroxide, Lavender and Anti-oxidants.
