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.  Smiley

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.

Hello Birdie - welcome.

The US preservatives all have different names from the UK ones - but there must be some with similar constituents.

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.

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.

I know that to be all too true honey and that is the reason I have not ventured into lotion making full scale. :mwaha:

It is great to 'meet' you.  Whereabouts in Tennesssee are you?  I have been there numerous times - beautiful scenery  :buttrf:

A warm welcome and I do hope to get to know you more around the forum  Smiley :buttrf:
