Hi! I know this is an older thread, but I just found it and wondered if I might chime in? I have used powdered zinc, rather than TD to make my bars white…and it really is a beautiful white! Does anyone have issues with using zinc in their soap? I think I only used about 1 tsp per pound of oils, but I’m not sure what the suggested usage rate is. I’m just wondering if anyone has had any problems with using it in their soaps? It’s a good sunscreen, but I’ve read you don’t want to use too much. It’s used in diaper rash cream, and works very well on baby’s delicate skin!
