Questions & Answers

Is it possible that this is cruel? free?

The cocoon of silk worm larvae is used to make silk. Before unwrapping the mile-long single strand of silk from each cocoon, the worm is boiled or steamed to kill it. Not exactly a cruelty-free product. br>br>Amazon sells cruelty-free silk made from cocoons that mature moths cut open in order to escape. Because the single strand of silk has been severed into many short strands, it can no longer be used for cloth. It makes no difference to soap makers. Look for silk that is not tested on animals.

Tussah Silk fibers are incorporated into moisturizers in a variety of ways. ?

My personal viewpoint is that It's best to save it for products that get quite hot, such as soapmaking. I cut a short section of silk and separate the fibers, then put it in the water a few fibers at a time right after adding lye because that's when it's the hottest; however, most of the lotions and other products I make can't get that hot, so this may not be something you can use silk for.

When using 100% frozen milk as a water replacement, will the silk melt in the lye solution? (how to make cp soap)?

Yes, but it will take a significant amount of time. If you're going to use milk, make sure it's frozen first. This prevents it from becoming as hot as it otherwise would. It was around 127 degrees Fahrenheit in my kitchen. My lye solution usually starts at 175 degrees Fahrenheit. 180 So all you have to do now is wait or use a little less.

Hello, what is the purpose of using this in the making of homemade soap? What exactly is the advantage? Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my questions. ?

To make the soap feel silky, silk is dissolved in it. If you want to learn more about it, there are numerous Google articles and YouTube videos available.

For soap, this is fantastic! When I cut it into small pieces and use it for soap making, it dissolves perfectly in my lye water

Very good quality.

Process that is carried out without the use of heat

5/5

Love it! This was purchased to be used in cold process soap making. Last night, I used it to make my first batch. It was easy to dissolve and gave the soap a nice sheen.

AN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO CP SOAP

5/5

Produces a superior bar of soap with a high gloss finish. You get a lot for your money and only need a small amount, one cotton ball size in a 5lb batch of soap will definitely suffice. I strongly suggest it.

It creates a silky smooth soap

5/5

When I compared my soap bars (for sale) to those sold by another vendor in a boutique, I noticed that hers were much softer and finer. After that, I added a silk tuft the size of a "cotton ball" to each of the 40-pieces. oz batch of soap and noticed that it is much smoother and finer than it would be otherwise. This is a product that I would recommend to soapers. As you can see, there is a positive difference.

A little silk, a lot of benefits! My homemade soap had a silky feel to it, and I loved it! I haven't been able to use the soap for bathing yet, but I have washed my hands with it, and it has a unique feel

5/5

I adore this silk product and will be purchasing more Tussah silk in the future. It's something I'm going to keep on hand.

Why did it take me so long to give it a shot? Don't be hesitant to incorporate silk fibers into your soaps

5/5

Now is the time to act and make this purchase! Despite the fact that there appears to be a small amount of product, you will find that it lasts a long time. br>br>I wish I had bought this years ago! I'll admit that the idea of using silk fibers in my soaps didn't appeal to me. br>I bought it on the spur of the moment and felt compelled to use it. I'm kicking myself now for putting it off for so long! br>br>I'm very pleased with this product and plan to buy it again.

Love it

5/5

This is one of my favorite ingredients to use when making soap. There's a lot of slip in this, and a little goes a long way!.

The quality is excellent, and the materials are simple to work with

5/5

The texture is silky smooth, and it dissolves quickly in hot water. Given the small amount required to produce high-quality soap, the quantity in the package is surprisingly large. I ordered this to replace another brand that was damaged during shipping and it is definitely on the "must have" list. I'm glad I made such a wise decision.
