MP has everything done for you alread (no lye to mess with). With CP you can use many different oils to get different characteristics. It is usually much gentler on your skin. MP allows you to be more creative with making embeds (especially with the clear) and other things. Each has their own place. For example, MP is more fun for kids because you can put toys in them, but CP is great for baby skin and older skin because it is so gentle. It really depends what you want to do with them to decide which to make. I would probably do both once I start selling, because the MP is more geared towards the kids, while CP is somethin that adults would go for. Steph
