💛 Color Notice

⚪ To Make Brighter White Soap

Titanium Dioxide is already included, but additional TD may be added if you prefer a more opaque, brighter white bar.

🧪 Process Aids

Used sparingly and only as needed — these materials evolve with availability and market demands. They support ease of remelting, re‑batching, and final bar appearance.

Small amounts of Bio Propylene Glycol (made entirely from vegetable glycerine) may be included or omitted depending on batch requirements.

Excluded in FREE soap bases: Cocamidopropylamine Oxide, Disodium Sulfosuccinate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine — all made from renewable vegetable sources.

All materials are biodegradable. SLS and SLES are never used.

❄️ Cold‑Weather Shipping Note

Because we’re in Wisconsin, your melt & pour base may freeze during transit. This can make the base appear brittle, but it does not affect quality. Always test a small amount before making a larger batch.

If brittle from freezing:

• Single Pour Bar Soap: Use as‑is for a harder, longer‑lasting bar, or add 3–5% water or glycerine to restore texture.

• Loaf Soap (to be sliced): Add 7–10% water or glycerine for smooth slicing. Test before adding color or fragrance — you can always remelt and adjust.

💧 Adding more glycerine increases sweating but also enhances moisturization.
