    Bumping this just in case it was missed by Canadian soapers or anyone in the US that orders from Voyageur Soap and Candle Red Cedarwood Fragrance Oil

    Red Cedarwood FO Voyageur

    Hello soapers! Have anyone used this FO from Voyageur in soap? Red Cedarwood Fragrance Oil Did it stick for you? What specie of Cedarwood does it smell like in soap? From the reviews, it morphed from being perfumy to woodsy but what kind? I am looking for a Cedarwood fragrance oil to...

    Oakmoss Blues

    I dissolve my Oakmoss absolute in Lavender Essential oil, and then add that to my EO blends. No jojoba needed. I find the Oakmoss overpowers the lavender. I have done 50/50 Oakmoss and Lavender. I like this blend in soap by itself as well.

    Citrus woody scents

    I am wondering too because my Lemon Eucalyptus smells like minty lemon.

    Yellow (yellowish) coconut oil. Help needed.

    Cold pressed is what you want, not virgin coconut because that could be heat processed as well. https://www.costco.ca/kirkland-signature-organic-virgin-coconut-oil%2c-2.3-kg.product.100416822.html

    New Directions Aromatics 15% sitewide sale

    They have always been my go-to for patchouli, but I tried their Bulgarian lavender and it has a musty after note to me. I heard their natural blend is great, just wondering if it sticks.

    Yellow (yellowish) coconut oil. Help needed.

    Heat processed coconut oil will have a yellow tinge to it while coconut oil processed without heat will be water white. Costco organic coconut oil is an example of water white coconut oil. ETA: Both will work fine, it’s just aesthetic, which will only matter if you are working with something...

    I know someone have used their Lavender Natural Blend EO. Not sure who that was. I want to know if it sticks in CP soap.

    Fragrance Dupe: Oatmeal and Shea

    Does anyone know where I can find a dupe of this or any combo of FO that would dupe this? This is my comfort fragrance for those stressful days. I hate the skin feel of the bodywash but I use it for the fragrance, so if anyone can help, I will be eternally grateful.

    Myrrh Resinoid

    Oh wow! I just went to check the pricing for this Myrrh resinoid and it is 40% more now! I know they are still cheaper than most suppliers but still..... 40%?! I am so glad I got a few of the 1kg bottles then because I am making blends with this myrrh that are rocking! ETA: My bad! Looks like...

    Fragrance oil and curdling

    I have always added my fragrance oils to my warmed oil, less chance of forgetting the FO and I get less drama, I have found.

    Myrrh Resinoid

    I soaped this myrrh again in CP half and half with Lavender 40/42 and it behaved okay. I was able to use a stick blender for a bit but the batch is over 65% high oleic canola with Tallow and Shea. I love this blend of EO! If it sticks, it would be awesome!

    Myrrh Resinoid

    No, the batch was okay. I let it hp itself and pour into the mold. Thankfully I am in a plain soap phase so there was no planned design. It has 25% cocoa butter so not sure if that contributed.

    Myrrh Resinoid

    I just thought to update this as I soaped it about 2 months ago. Do not use this in CP soap, it will be soap on stick for you, I think it is due to the 80% Benzyl Benzoate. I used it at 6% and it is faint but there. I mixed this with a sweet musky fragrance oil and Frankincense Serrata to make...

    Forgot to add palm kernel flakes to cp

    Your soap is most likely lye heavy. You are missing 10% of the oil for your batch. If you superfat at 5% and even if your NaOH is at 97% purity, there is that 2% extra lye that will make your soap unsafe to use for quite awhile. It can cure out with enough exposure to air but that will take a...

    High Oleic Soybean Oil

    I would suggest you still try it. I have a a batch that my daughters love that is 75% High Oleic Canola oil and unless they let it sit in water, is actually good on longevity. I do use Vinegar as water replacement for all my batches.
