Teach Soap

Namaste Everyone!!

I'm so delighted to come across this forum.
I have recently started making cold process soaps (about 9 months ago!), and luckily, I have had amazing results.

Handmade soap industry in India is at a very nascent stage, and I find it very very difficult to find supplies. Is there any one else here from India who can advice me?

I so want to order stuff from brambleberry but I am just not sure about what items are allowed to be imported..... any suggestions on how to go about this??

I just cant get enough of reading all the old posts..... there is just soooo much information here!!!


Looking forward to learning and sharing!

Regards
Shreya

Hi Shreya and welcome!
I wish I could help you find a supplier. We are very fortunate to have so many wonderful places to purchase our ingredients and I think sometimes we take that for granted.

This is a great place for information. We'll be looking forward to hearing more from you and hopefully seeing some of your soaps!

Namaste Shreya and welcome to the forum.
So glad you're having such success with your CP soaps. I do hope you're able to find the answers to your questions. Yes, there is a plethora of information within this site. It makes my addiction deeper and deeper every day.
Looking forward to seeing your posts

Welcome to the forum, Shreya!

As far as ordering from Bramble Berry goes, it looks like they do ship internationally: http://www.brambleberry.com/Internation ... s-W31.aspx. If you have questions, I'd send them an email and ask - BB is great at top-notch customer service!

Have you made any soap using ghee? I see it listed on the lye calculator websites which got me curious. I love Indian food and have cooked quite a bit of it (that's why I have a huge amount of turmeric sitting around that is about 20 years old!). Have made ghee a few times...butter is rather expensive so I'm not really keen to try it but maybe not in India?

Welcome!

Ghee has a SAP value of 0,162. I don't know if ghee has the same butyric acid like butter does, but if it's the same, it makes the soap stinky.
