## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for soap making
*by A***K on April 22, 2024*

I make soap as a hobby and wanted to try out this emulsifier. The product seems to work well. But I’ll have to let by soap cure before I can truly try it out. So far so good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great emulsifier
*by G***E on April 24, 2024*

Poly 20 is an absolute staple in my workspace. It’s extremely versatile and very important to include in most diy recipes. It’s a very reliable ingredient i’ve been using for years. This is my first time trying this exact brand, so far it has worked well and given consistent results, no different than any others beyond this being a pretty good deal.
