I know Tiggy oversold on her new Palm free soap so it must be something people want. I would love to read about your class Jean. Thanks too Deb for the info.

The Handmade in Florida palm free is probably the least melty I have tried. Some day I will blog about the class I took last summer!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12720810461114999061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-40917573713477304022016-06-10T11:20:40.035-04:002016-06-10T11:20:40.035-04:00Palm makes a harder bar, for sure, but there are c...Palm makes a harder bar, for sure, but there are concerns about sustainability and the manufacturing practices to obtain and produce palm oil.<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-15753833352083899742016-06-10T11:04:39.343-04:002016-06-10T11:04:39.343-04:00Haus of Gloi is pretty amazing and worth trying ou...Haus of Gloi is pretty amazing and worth trying out.

I saw Tiggy was making some palm free soaps, so I wonder why adding is like using yeast but then others are trying to make it palm free? Soaping facinates me. The pure chemistry of it all.

How can I hope to try them all?!<br /><br />Selkie sounds like a divine soap! I can't wait to see how their body butters work for you. :)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804234325450434702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-31382905133508452912016-06-09T16:54:26.175-04:002016-06-09T16:54:26.175-04:00I chose Peppermint Wood also.

I forget what her analogy was but it was something like being a baker and then using yeast for the first time, much different result although I like both versions.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12720810461114999061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-73308596431258310932016-06-09T08:22:05.137-04:002016-06-09T08:22:05.137-04:00Hmm, I'll have to go check those out.

Mostly for summer scenting I assume. I remember you being a little let down by your beloved Troika. I hope your summer skin enjoys it more. I just can't get enough of their scents. They are all so yummy.
