Teach Soap

Hi all,

I'm so sorry if this is a repeat post but I can't seem to find the appropriate threads through searches.

Would a non-paraben preservative be recommended (or even required) if I start adding stuff like ground coffee/milk powder, oatmeal or honey, actual brandy and so on? As much as they add scent wonderfully, something tells me edible stuff in soap doesn't sit quite so correctly.

If so, what sort of preservative should I be adding and the amount needed?

Thanks!

For all the above mentioned (except for the brandy) you don't need a preservative. In order to sell soap with actual brandy, you would need a alcohol resale license, which is very expensive. For that one, I would leave it out and don't bother. Use any of the above additives sparingly; especially the milk. That one can go sour and your soap would smell really bad. A preservative would not help the milk.
