Comment by Roslyne Johnson on November 7, 2010 at 8:00pm: Greetings Indies! I am wondering if there is a natural substitute for Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS). I want to make bath fizzies without using this ingredient. Is this possible, and if so how does it affect the end product?
Thanks everyone.

Comment by Victoria Barrett on August 17, 2010 at 3:36pm: Are Apricot Kernal Meal and Apricot Seed Powder the same thing? I want to make a few scrub recipes that have this ingredient. Thanks.

Comment by Victoria Barrett on August 16, 2010 at 6:45pm: Ok, I will try it and I will let you if it works out. I will slice the whole piece into smaller pieces and give it a try and I'll let you know the outcome... ; )

Comment by IBN Member Joan Morais on August 16, 2010 at 3:39pm: Victoria, yes you can add loofah powder to scrubs. I have never tried to powder loofah in a food processor. If you try it, make sure and feel the powder to make sure there are no jagged edges to tear the skin.

Comment by IBN Member Joan Morais on August 16, 2010 at 3:02pm: Nickola, an easy emulsifier to add is palm stearic acid.

Comment by Victoria Barrett on August 16, 2010 at 2:58pm: Can you add loofa as an ingredient in body scrubs? If so, I am wondering if you could make your own loofa powder by cutting up a regular loofa and processing it through the food processer blades or if you would suggest not to do that. Thanks.

Comment by NICKOLA on August 11, 2010 at 1:01am: Hi Joan,

Thanks so much for the tips! I have a question... what emulsifier would you recommend for scrubs?

Comment by IBN Member Joan Morais on June 19, 2010 at 11:59pm: Thank you Sue for your comments.

Comment by Susan Sawhill Apito on June 19, 2010 at 11:37am: Joan, I just read your comment on natural colorants. It is one of the most clear explanations for what is and what is not allowed as far as coloring cosmetics that I have ever read! Thank you for clearing up what is obviously an FDA regulation many cosmetics formulators are unaware of! Great work! Sue

Comment by IBN Member Joan Morais on February 18, 2010 at 11:42am: Thank you Deb. I am happy it helped you.
