+1I received & used my first soap from this new maker today & I implore everyone to try this amazing soap for themselves. Slickness, cushion & post-shave feel are all amazing. The scent is wonderfully spicy. They have absolutely nailed it. The best eleven quid you'll ever spend.
Interesting! I had noticed this myself when opening the unscented soap. I did a bit of research and I discovered (subject to Kerry telling me I'm talking nonsense) that it is quite common for soap makers to use ammonia as a mixing/emulsifying agent in the oils. The ammonia sublimes off as the soap matures. I would guess that a little might remain if the soap could do with a few days more resting or the temperature was low while it was curing. Our noses are very sensitive to ammonia and even a minute amount can be smelled very readily. The amount remaining would, apparently, be tiny, harmless and will disappear with time. I can vouch for the fact that it disappeared from mine quite quickly. If you want to hurry the process, leave the soap in a warm, but not hot, place with the lid off. You'll lose a bit of scent but the ammonia should go quickly.Does anyone else get a whiff of ammonia when they first open Sanskrit?
Normal?
Apologies! A 'good' guess - but just wrong! How like the rest of life.Evening chaps and thanks for your comments. No ammonia is added to our soap as each batch is made with certified and pure ingredients and saponified / hot processed to a ph level of 9 (N.b water is ph7). If you're not satisfied with you're soap you're very welcome to return it for a replacement. Please PM or email me at kerry@phoenixandbeau.uk and I'll take care of this for you.
With kind regards,
Kerry.
