Question: Do you have a chart for common conversions used in handmade soap and cosmetics?

Answer: It is the best practice to weigh your ingredients, but we do understand that many people measure additives in other ways.  Here are some common conversions:
  • 20 drops = 1 ml
  • 30 ml = 1 ounce
  • 3 teaspoons = 1 Tablespoon
  • 2 Tablespoons = 1 ounce
  • 3% of 1 Pound = ½ ounce = 1 Tablespoon
  • 6% of 1 Pound = 1 ounce = 2 Tablespoons
