      It depends on your base recipe. Some are more yellow than others. Clays also vary depending upon supplier. I have not tried that one. I don't think it is something that is available in the UK so you will need a bit of trial and error.

      I don't use citric.or sugar but I see no reason why you can't dissolve them in your lye solution when you master batch it. As long as it is all dissolved it should be fine.

    • @thesoapcoach.
      @thesoapcoach. 2 месяца назад

      I would avoid HP for anything with milk as it will most likely end up scorching. You could freeze the milk to mix your lye and then very carefully cook it but it probably isn't worth the effort if I am honest. 🤔

    Hello, I hope you are well. I saw your RUclips channel. Your channel and video content are very good. Also, the thumbnail design is very attractive. But here are some problems: 1. SEO score is very low 2. No title - description - tags are SEO friendly 3. Not sharing on social media platforms and your RUclips channel is a lot of trouble. As a result views, likes and subscribers are not increasing. Benefits of 100% SEO Score: 1/ Views will increase 2/ Likes will increase 3/ Customers will increase 4/ Viewing time will increase 5/ Business will increase 6/ Audience will increase. 7/ Sales will increase. So, if you want your channel to increase subscribers, views, likes and comments with proper video SEO, Google ads and monetization. It will be your right decision. Do you want to increase your SEO score?

      You don't need MSDS for things like olive oil, butters, coconut oil, natural colourants such as cocoa powder, but you do for fragrances, EOs, NaOH, micas etc. anything that is potentially a hazard really. And your supplier will have the CI number on the documents they should make available to you.
