Title: Birdie from Tennessee USA Post by: birdie on March 22, 2010, 06:08:34 PM This is a very sweet forum! I am so glad I happened upon it!
I'm from Tennesssee in the United States. I have been making soap for 10 years. Vege oils and EOs are my mediums. I would so like to enter lotion making but I'm not comfortable using the preservatives available. I have been experimenting with Biopein and Suprapein so I hope something turns up there. :) As soon as the tax season ends in April, I hope to spend more time here geting to know you all and learning more in our field.

I hope you will show us pictures of your soaps etc.?

The US preservatives all have different names from the UK ones - but there must be some with similar constituents. Title: Re: Birdie from Tennessee USA Post by: birdie on March 22, 2010, 07:00:43 PM At present I have no access to my pic(s) to post because, I must say, I am at the office with nothing to do but play on the computer...sigh.
Elaine, I guess it is preservatives in general I take issue with. Yes, most probably work like they should but it all just seems so "un-natural" to me. Title: Re: Birdie from Tennessee USA Post by: Beastargazer on March 22, 2010, 07:01:34 PM Birdie Hi, welcome to our Forum.
Title: Re: Birdie from Tennessee USA Post by: Honey on March 22, 2010, 07:02:44 PM I know preservatives aren't the most natural thing in the world but I'd rather them than that gross looking natural things that'll grow in your creams if you don't use them :mwaha: Sometimes natural isn't good too.
Title: Re: Birdie from Tennessee USA Post by: birdie on March 22, 2010, 07:17:12 PM I know that to be all too true honey and that is the reason I have not ventured into lotion making full scale. :mwaha:

Nice to meet you, do you like making body butters, as these are just oils and butters, no preservatives are required. I am enjoying making these. I have tried to experiment in the lotion experience, but not quite got there yet, have fun :buttrf: Title: Re: Birdie from Tennessee USA Post by: madpiano on March 25, 2010, 10:22:46 PM Hi Birdie
