Dee i have to agree with you - i do know one soapmaker who is having

respitory problems from not wearing any masks for the past few years - these

arent

Jody, one should not be working with lye without wearing a particle

mask OSHA number N95 to protect the lungs. I would NEVER us lye in

a facial mask for myself...very irritating to the skin. I tried an

emulsifyer once that used lye and even at half strength it was not

for me. I cannot comment on her recipe though without seeing it and

how much lye she is using to emulsify it.

Breathing in vapors from either FO or EO all day long can also be

damaging to the body and I recomment you switch to a vapor mask for

that. Both os these can be found in home building stores like Lowe's.
