Do you think a bit of Vitamin E would be a good preservative? I want to give these as gifts but I am afraid of the mold. Thanks for this recipe.

Best of luck looking it up. I wonder if it's only when mixed with manmade fragrances? Richard - I'm afraid I didn't know about that. Best of luck looking it up.

(its not for me btw, its for my girlfriend =) hey there
thanks for the neat recipe

If you got the 2 lb of SLS about how many batches yielded? I'm trying to figure out if its worth it to make my own... =) Is this recipe only good for 1 bar?

FYI: glycerin will not mold. It's actually got very good preservative properties. Hi. FYI: glycerin will not mold. It's actually got very good preservative properties.

Just a thought. Robyn I have found that by using less glycerine and some liquid foaming agent (like cocamide DEA) that you have a ton-o-bubbles. Just a thought.

Lush is too far to be driving to every three weeks. it will be easier to make my own products. :) I like lush and wish they had a recipe guide or somthin. when will you experiment with colors to see if the water turns a different color.

After I had moulded them they grew! Do you think I have used too much glycerine?

I was wondering if you remember what type of sodium laurel sulfoacetate you used? I have been looking and I have found some to be coarse, fine, liquid etc. I'm confused! :) A little help? Thanks!

You can get glycerin from soapmaking supply companies online for much cheaper than at Walmart etc. Glycerine attracts moisture and too much will make your bars sweat.

I wonder if that's why their scents are more stable. Or it could be the other ingredients they list in place of the glycerin in your recipe. I want to try these, and your recipe has fewer weird hard-to-find chemicals than the ingredient lists on the Lush website, so I'm going with yours. I'll use the Midsummer's Night fragrance oil I got from Coastal Scents because it smells like the bubble bath I used when I was a kid. If the scent hangs on longer than an essential oil, I'll let you know! I noticed that Lush lists perfume under their bubble bar ingredients alongside the essential oils.
