Thank you sol, I appreciate that. That's exactly what I wanted to know about face creams. Now if someone on the list has tried CS in syrups, and decoctions, that would be wonderful information. I'm wondering if I need to simmer my herbs/berries/bark in the CS water, or reduce the amount of water I use and add some CS to the reduced liquid, then add a little thickening ingredient. Arrowroot can thicken quiet nicely, but I really prefer for the syrup to be as thick as it can get on its own without adding anything else. If I'm making syrups, the liquid has to be reduced by a third or half through simmering, some even by three quarters, and I'd be adding back liquid at the end. Unless I start with a third or whatever less liquid. But I'm concerned about dilution of the medicinal properties of the herbs in the solution, if I add the CS at the end after I've already reduced the liquid. So I need someone who has used CS to add to their tinctures and decoctions, and syrups and stuff to tell me what method works the best.

And I'd still love to know if someone has successfully used it in their soaps. And how they managed adding the CS.

I don't know about your other questions, but I always added CS to my homemade face creams. Just substituted some CS for some of the hydrosols.
