angied Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Ok, I got some of this from my secret buddy today:D and now I want to know how everyone uses it? Do you melt it down and mold it.....scent it....make liquid soap out of it......or just use it as is. I seen where you can use it in a scrub, has anyone tried that? I am going to be soooo busy tomorrow, I also got my m/p soap from the swap and got some slsa and cream of tarter.....now just deciding what to do first;) Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindym Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 The only way I have used it Ange is to grate it and add it to an oo castor oil soap. Mild soap for sensitive skin. No fragrance , one of my accounts sold quite a bit in her baby section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angied Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 So Cindy, you just used it like you would an additive? Ok I may have to try that as well.Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 What I do is take a little bit, pop it into a large container, and then nuke it into the microwave for about 30 seconds. Definitely use a large container because it will volcano on you and be all over the microwave in seconds. Then I put it in the container I want to keep it in, add a few drops of water into it and stir. It will be a thick ooey gooey blob, and I just scoop a bit out and smear it into my loofah when I bathe. I have used African black soap my whole life.

CareBear Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Really neat sounding. So you could put it into a jar and leave it like that? Does it stay soft if you keep a lid on it? Would you need a preservative if you wanted to sell it like that?What's it like to use? Another thing I need to know more about! Especially cause we are a dry-skin, eczema sort of family!

Especially cause we are a dry-skin, eczema sort of family!There is no other soap like it really. It stays soft even with the jar off, even DH loves the stuff. I have his scented with Burberry Brit, and the fragrance holds with just a few drops. I market and sell it with or without fragrance. My clients love it! Also, its soap so it really does not need a preservative. I get it in huge round blocks and just hammer what I need off when I need it. This is what my block looks like: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linnyeg Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 For myself I use small chunks at a time of it plain as a facial soap (it's AWESOME for acne!) I plan on mixing it in with my complexion soap for my next batch, im just going to crumble it and mix it in at trace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
