    Can anyone comment on the difference between the soap and the cream regarding the ingredients? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Nut oil for some can cause pimples and for me unfortunately I'm one of them! I'm afraid to try the cream because the last cream I tried, jack black shaving cream which has macadamia nuts listed, i felt like a hormonal pre teen again, Wayne's world, Wayne's word, Schwing! And I broke out with a bad case of the pimples. Can I try the soap instead or with the nut oil is it not a good idea. I'm almost out of my castle Forbes lime and wanted to try something new.

    Just re-sniffed my Lavender de Luxe paste and it smells just like the shrubs out back. A very good soap.

    I just read through most of this thread and this post has left me confused.

    The first batch was difficult to lather, but does that mean that it did not produce as good of a lather or that it simply took longer to produce a good lather?

    What difference would it make?

    The problem batch lathered up very quickly and produced copious amounts of lather. The problem was the lather was more like a foam and it disappeared from your face with a minute or so after application.

    One alternative would still lead to a good lather and the other would not.

    I wasn't avoiding your question, Ron, I was just trying to understand what exactly you were trying to establish.

    Nelson's answer is, however, only partly correct. The phenomenon he described occurred only if the product was used with too much water. Using next to no water, it was entirely possible to produce good lather. However, such a narrow margin of error is not acceptable for a consumer product.

    That said, this entire discussion is entirely hypothetical. We are talking about an event that happened more than half a year ago, and only affected a few users in Germany. And Nelson, of course, but he insisted on ordering the product despite knowing that it would be difficult to use. The problem source was instantly identified, and removed. I think Meißner handled the situation very well. I remember a highly renowned brush maker from England refusing to even discuss the replacement of a brush which shed up to 20 hairs per use...

    If nut oil causes acne for you, you are probably allergic to nuts. The macadamia nut oil used by Meißner Tremonia is generally suitable for all skin types, because its composition is very similar to human sebum in terms of fatty acids. It is the only only vegetable oil that has a high proportion of palmitoleic acid, which makes it smooting and skin-friendly. But if you are allergic to nuts in general, you might be allergic to any product containing nut oils.
