Hi, you are using beeswax in this soap. Then doesn't this soap considered as NOT vegan?
ReplyDeleteVegan basically means purely plant derived,
ReplyDeletewhile Vegetarian means it can have animal byproduct such as milk, eggs, things produced by the animal (where the animal does not need to be killed).
Beeswax and honey are produced by bees, which then make these two ingredient vegetarian, rather than vegan.
I hope this helps clear things up. I love reading your entries btw. ��
Hi sorry for the late reply. Well basically yes. Soap Lab is more of a 100% vegetarian store as compared to vegan. As long as the animal is not harmed and its not disgusting to use the products (I still find kopi luwak disgusting although the animal wasn't harmed), we use it:-) So yes items like beeswax, Milk, Eggs etc, we will still show tutorial on how to make it using these items. Its up to the consumer wether want to use it or not. Because if its strictly vegan, come to think of it we can't even use honey, goats milk isn't it? :-0 Thanks for the clarification Lin.
ReplyDeletehi I would like to ask,why do we need to add beeswax in this recepi? I thought mp soap base is easily harden.or does it has a benefit purpose
ReplyDeleteHi the sabun. We are adding beeswax here more for decoration purpose je. But it was also a good backbone to the soap towards the end:-)
