can it be used in cold press soaps?

Yes, I have been using it for my soaps but it is hard to gauge how the color will end up looking in the end...kind of a fun surprise, I guess!

Yes, these pots are perfect for making handmade cold process soaps. I have been using them for several years to make soap and have not had any issues with them. I heat my oils slowly since the pots are thin. Just keep a thermometer in the pot while melting the oils so that you can constantly see the temperature.

Absolutely. It doesn't dissolve well in cold water so I start with warm, put in the product & mix until dissolved, then fill the rest of the sink basin with cold water.

Yes it can be used for soap but remember this is unrefined, it has a very earthy smell.

I don't use this product for soap making. I use it for curing Olives so I won't be any help with your soap making project. Sorry.

I use it full strength in my foaming soap dispenser and it works great. Makes my hands soft, too. I've had a number of people ask what soap I use because they like the feel and delicate scent.

No I have never used it for making soap, however I do know that it is used as a by product in soap. I will see if I can find a recipe. I use it as my oil base to cook all my food, sauter veggies, creme my skin and moisturize my hair.

If you are making a moisturizing soap you could add a little to the project, but I honestly have never added it to my soap. I have used it for lip balm and lotion recipes.

I doubt it. It is almost impossible to find Pears Soap with the original formula. Also, make sure you purchase the 4.4 oz. size bars, and not the smaller ones.

It would make tiny pieces of soap. But I don't see why you couldn't use it for that. I think any Silicone Mold can be used for Soaps. I use it to make Embellishments for my cards.

I wouldn't. Being unprocessed and cold pressed means this a lot more powerful... I'd try a medical grade Castor oil for that purpose, you can pick it up at your local drug store.

Probably, since foaming soap is a liquid. However, it won't foam the liquid.Dave Chase

You could use this for soap but it would be very expensive. Generally you want to use an olive oil pomace as opposed to extra virgin when making soap.

I've never use them for making soap but I have mix them in lotions and mineral oil and it worked well

The answer is "no". It is not the right solution for that. Instead use a synthetic based (so soap does not dissolve it away so readily) automotive wax like Nu Finish.

You can (successfully) use soap nuts at any temperature!! Honestly! If washing in cold water, just add a few more than you would with a warmer temperature.They release their saponin slowly in cooler water, and more quickly in warmer / hot water. You will be able to use these several times, (4-6 times on average) if washed in cold, and about once or twice if washed in hot water.

I have not used it directly on clothing items, but have used it in home made laundry soap and had no issues.
