I get the sense that you have a lot of knowledge.
I am going to have to research the potassium lactate
I may have to switch to cellophane. The boxes are so time consuming!

Thank you Ross - very constructive and informative.
I buy rolls of cellophane - I have one of those gift wrap holders and I
literally pull, straighten, measure and cut into lengths and again into my
soap wrapping size - tis one of those mindless jobs - but quite precise and
I actually quite enjoy doing it! And of course wrapping - I'm quite OTT.
Thanks for the feedback on my label. I've been thinking of changing if for
a loooooong time. But haven't spent enough time on simplicity yet! But I
needed to hear that.
Yes, I always have more than one litre of patchouli on hand at all times.
It is definitely one of those essential oils that is far better with age -
gorgeous in fact!
I agree with a nice lighter lavender swirl - just waiting for my lovely big
slab moulds to play!
And yes the orange is only noticeable when first made - but I think it takes
the edge off the patchouli as the soap ages and rounds it off.
And yes a high proportion of olive oil - it is a must in all my soaps. I
also think the alkanet infusion made this particular bar less lathery and
more slimy than usual. Interesting. (It is the strongest alkanet infusion
I have made).
Potassium lactate - I have been using this in my soaps for years. It is
much milder than the sodium lactate touted overseas. It means I don't have
to line moulds, the soap sort of pops off the mould and yes contributes a
lot to the hardness of the bar. And you only have to use such a miniscule
amount. It does diminish scent a little and colour. But I know this and I
make my recipes with these points in mind. Anything not to have to line
moulds.
Thank you for your feedback - keep it coming.
Cheers
Liz
