"Good day, I'm looking forward to making and distributing my soaps using this base. My case must've gotten jostled quite a bit, because the bag has been rubbed away on two of the corners. I'm planning on using the tips in the listed videos to remove the plastic, but I'm wondering how to store the unused portion since the original bag is compromised. Could you please offer some appropriate suggestions? I'll only be using 2.5-5# at a time. Thank you for your time!"

"The ingredient list says it's made with coconut juice; there is coconut water and coconut milk, but never heard of coconut juice. Many customers have asked this here, and your answers are confusing. If it is milk, why not list it as coconut milk in the ingredient list?"

Staff Answer In the Common Name Ingredient Listing, which is FDA approved, it is listed as Coconut Milk. The INCI name (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) which is internationally recognized, the correct listing is Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Juice. If only selling your product in the US, you can use the Common Name. You can also list both, INCI name and common name, if you prefer.

"Hello, thank you so much for answering my questions. I am super happy with all products I received from yiu and service provided. I tested only few MP bases and I am not sure if I did something wroing but I made layered soap using the detergent free three butter base and all of my layers did not adhere. I though maybe you could suggest bases that perform better for layers, embedding etc. I am looking for both, clear and opaque bases. "

Staff Answer To get your layers to stick together when making MP soap, you need to generously spritz rubbing alcohol on the hardened layer before pouring the next layer. This will make the layers adhere to each other. Any of our soap bases will work when layering them.

"Hello. Please provide a summary of the difference between detergent free soap bases vs. soap bases with detergent. I understand the difference in ingredients. I am interested in a summary of what the products do -- for example, is the detergent soap base going to provide a more luxuriant lather? Is one more drying? Is one harder? Thank you. "

Staff Answer The Detergent Free Soap Bases are soap bases that do not contain synthetic detergents and are comprised with fewest amount of ingredients. Detergent free bases produce bubbles that tend to be smaller and creamier while detergent bases offer bigger bubbles. Also detergent free bases tend to create a softer bar of soap and may require 'curing' time to allow it to harden.

"The description says it contains coconut milk but the ingredients only list coconut oil and coconut fruit juice. Can I say it contains coconut milk if I don't see that it does? I know in the goat's milk base, it lists goats milk in the ingredients. Thanks!"

Staff Answer Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Juice is the natural juice expressed from pressed coconut meat which is more commonly known as coconut milk. Therefore this soap base does contain coconut milk and can be listed on your label as such.

"I used this soap and it sweated. I am assuming b/c I mixed the color with glycerin. How do you get rid of the sweat on the soap?"

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer It is not uncommon for our Detergent Free Soaps may sweat when unmolded. If any sweating does occur, let the soap set out to "cure" for up to a week. The base is softer upon unmolding and then hardens while it cures. Once the sweating has stopped, you can spritz the bars with alcohol and wipe away any sweat beads or crystals. After the "cure" wrapping is not necessary.

"I am allergic to coconut (digesting), will this bother my skin?"

Staff Answer If you have an allergy to coconut proteins then we do not recommend using any products made with coconut oils or additives such as coconut milk. If your doctor instructs you differently, we would defer to their advice.

I would say talk to your doctor first before trying anything with coconut oil. Sometimes a food allergy can be topical, sometimes not. If you don't have time to speak with your doctor, do a spot test on the inner corner of your elbow to see if you experience a reaction before using this oil. I have to do this with all store-bought detergents and some shampoos and it's the quickest way to know if you're going to have a problem.
