Teach Soap

I have since discovered that they were actually using the soap directly on their hands/bodies in the shower, and suggested that using a washcloth or poof with the soaps would almost definitely make a difference in the lather department, as well as cleansing if they thought it was lacking in that department. Why she had not thought of this already is beyond me, lol......

I usually just use my hands to get the lather from my soap.... I love the way it feels. Once in awhile I will use a puff or an
exfoliator, mostly on my feet or back. That is why i know the puffs give more lather!

For what it's worth, I've found that I have to formulate differently for guys and gals.

Hubby does not like my conditioning soaps which tend to be lower on the cleansing number. We live in an arid climate and I prefer a soap that does not dry my skin. I use a relatively high SF - 8-10% - for my own use and a fair % of OO.

I reformulated for him and upped the coconut and the palm. He likes them much better this way. He also likes the extra lather that beer brings. I now make him manly beer soaps and everybody's happy.

The other explanation is that your friend's husband is inherently critical and annoying and it might not be worth your time and energy to attempt to please him.

Thanks for the advice Judy! I typically do 7% SF.

I was thinking on this topic again last night, and a lower superfat did occur to me. Hopefully soon, prob after I finish with SOAP panel, I will work on a higher lather recipe using some of your tips and some other additives.

P.S. That is actually my opinion of him Judy and semplice, but I was trying to be nice and not let it affect how I received the feedback, hehe.

I am pretty much with what other girls say, Laura.
Every product has its customer. When you take feedback or do a research always use as many sources as possible. And all the feedback have to feel right for you. I mean, if ppl say they want lather and you feel like you totally agree with that - go and do this. We all know that there are ppl who will never ever be pleased. Whatever you do
