Thank you for this. Yeah, I had reached out to BrambleBerry multiple times regarding this issues, but I have not received a satisfactory response. Their explanations have been vague and seem to imply that any discrepancies are my responsibility. This lack of clarity and accountability from...

Yes! Just got an email from BrambleBerry and they informed me that their record of Clove Leaf EO Max Usage of 5.74% is accurate. Mmmmm…Throw out my soap already though. Not sure how to read this. They sent me their IFRA sheet as well (attached below).

The company is BrambleBerry...

Awesome advice. Thank you for this information. I will definitely need all of this for the future.

Thank you so much for this information. Yes! Very confusing. I'm never going to work with that EO again. First time for everything.

There's definitely a discrepancy with Brambleberry. I'm so confused.

Hello! Could you help me understand this please. In reviewing the calculations provided by the web-based company that adheres to IFRA guidelines, I encountered a significant discrepancy regarding the maximum usage of Clove Leaf Essential Oil. Historically, I have relied on their calculations...

Yes I did look at the IFRA dosage rate. I’m aware that clove bud and clove leaf are two types of clove EO, and I use the IFRA recommendation. However, I see what you're saying. I'll throw this batch out.

Sure!!! In ounces: Olive Oil - 51 Castor Oil - 6.8 Avocado Oil - 3.4 All Veg Shortening - 54.4 Coconut Oil - 54.4 Shea & Cocoa Butter -10 & 10 Honey - 5 tsp Maple Syrup - 5 tsp Coconut Milk - 13.5 Clove EO - 7.65 Clove Grounds - 2 tsp S. Lactate - 1.2 S. Hydroxide - 26.57 Distilled Water -...

I made a CP soap slab two days ago! Upon cutting the soap slap yesterday, I began to see yellow/white liquid inside the soap. I immediately knew it was alkaline. I know for a fact it is. How did this happen? I asked myself. Did I not stickblend my solution well? Anyhow, after much thought, I...

Yes Yes...It's the glue smell... Yes! you nailed it. It's definitely the glue scent I'm smelling. Yeah! Not looking it. I guess we all have that one thing we can't take and mine is Frankincense. Maybe one day it will grow on me. Who knows.

Mmmmm...Yeah! That's what I thought. I don't believe coffee grounds will add scent to the soap. So It must be just the Frankincense I'm not agreeing with. I'm honestly not sensitive to smell, so that's why I find it odd that I'm sensitive to Frankincense. So I guess I've found a scent that I...

I will definitely do that. Give it some time. Keeping my fingers crossed on this. I used Frankincense essential oil. I'm embarrassed to say, but I also used coffee beans for exfoliation purposes. However, it smelt fine when I was making it. But after 24-48 hours, the scent changed to this smell...
