And even if there is a soapmaker cannot advertise claims without getting into trouble with the cosmetic industry. There are labeling laws that need to be followed. Do a search on here and you should come up with alot of comments to read. So in the end for us the additives are for color, texture or just label appeal. I do not sell... who knows maybe someday. The biggest problem I have right now with just making for family and friends is staying ahead of the game. I just finished my Christmas soaps.... should have the winter done and be working on valentines day but no - once again I am behind.

If I was to do a buisness this would be my achiles heel.
