We use ultramarines and iron oxides for our colorants. We never use FD&C colorings in any of our products. All of the colors in the soaps are all scented the same. For instance, with lavender-mint the blue is not lavender and the green is not mint. The same goes for sandalwood-citrus. Both colors are scented the same.

Yes, there are natural products that you can use to color your soap. If you want yellow soap you can use saffron, Turmeric, or Carthamin. If you want red soap you can use paprika. If you want brown soap you can use cocoa powder or tea.

A.--That is one of the things my soaps are known for. When I develop a new recipe, one of the first things I look for is a good, fluffy lather. If the finished soap doesn't lather well, I will work with the recipe until it does.

Although I found I could not prevent new acne with any special soaps, skin products, or additional cleansing of the skin, my dermatologist recommended using a hypo-allergenic non-irritating soap to not cause any additional burning sensation on skin areas already broken out.

Handmade bar soaps are the mildest form of soap that can be made. Raising their free oil content by using added cocoa, shea, mango avocado, or other vegetable butters, hemp, black seed or other light oils at 1% to 3%, will enhance the "hand lotion in soap effect". Be sure to use extra rosemary extract to preserve free oils. Aloe vera, comfrey, milk proteins, oatmeal, beta glucans proteins etc. contain natural anti-inflammatory ingredients that help soothe irritated skin.

No. A deodorant soap is a cosmetic product intended for washing the body to eliminate odours. A deodorant soap may or may not contain an ingredient that kills or inhibits the growth of odour-causing bacteria.

Color is the perception of the power spectrum that is striking our retinas. Cells called cones are responsible for our perception of color. There are three distinct types of cones and each type covers a different region of the spectrum. The cones are typically labeled as red, green, and blue, which gives the incorrect impression that each responds to a distinct frequency. In fact, there is significant overlap between them, especially in the case of red and green.

Superfatting a soap means that the amount of lye used has been reduced, so that there is extra oil that is not turned into soap. These extra oils are then available for your skin to make use of, in addition to the glycerine for their moisturizing properties. Soap Shed Soaps contain a lot of extra oils that act as lotion - often called saponifiables - and this is one of the reasons that Soap Shed Soaps feel so wonderful on your skin.

Antibacterial soaps provide extra protection against bacteria that may cause many common illnesses. Consumers looking for additional protection before preparing and eating meals, after using the bathroom, diapering a child, after playing with a pet or when caring for the sick may want to use an antibacterial soap.

Soaps intended to kill or inhibit the growth of odour-causing bacteria have been marketed since the 1920s. Greater consumer concern over health risks from germs has generated increased demand for new antibacterial hand and body wash products.

There is another type called melt & pour soap or glycerin soap. It is generally transparent and can be quite pretty. The alcohol in the soap is responsible for the transparency. It can also cause drying. The quality is dependant on where the base was purchased. You can buy M & P at your local hobby stores but in general it very expensive and poor in quality.

Make sure they are not sitting in a puddle of water in the shower, let them dry out between uses, by using a draining soap dish. If you wish to store your soaps before use, you can set them in a drawer, or basket in the bathroom, they will be a nice room deodorizer.

Glycerin is naturally produced during the handmade soapmaking process. Glycerin costs more than soap which is why soap companies remove the glycerin. Because Aloha Soaps still contain glycerin, it can retain more moisture than other soaps. To extend the life of your Aloha Soaps, place it in a well-draining soap dish. Keep unused bars in a cool, dry place and use them within a few months of purchase.

The main difference is that antibacterial soaps contain a special ingredient for controlling germs. When washing with an antibacterial soap, a very small amount of antibacterial ingredient is deposited on the skin that keeps the number of germs at a significantly reduced level for an extended period of time. Washing with plain soap initially removes some germs, but the germs left on the hands can quickly regrow and increase in number.

Yes, we do. We use goat milk in over fifty soaps, and make the two soaps with lard - Grandma's Lye Soap and Dirty Dawg Shampoo Soap - mentioned above. All other soaps are vegetable based and contain no animal products.

Antibacterial soaps kill or inhibit bacteria that cause odour, skin infections, food poisoning, intestinal illnesses and other commonly transmitted diseases. Their effectiveness depends on the antibacterial ingredient, its concentration, its contact time on the skin and the product formulation.
