Dolphin Blue mica (WSP) for center section and Uncolored batter for outside sections. I liked this color combo so much when I used it for the Distilled/Tap water test I decided to use the same for the challenge. Very spa like. Fragrance is White Tea & Ginger from Bramble Berry. Did a double...

I have sensitive skin too. I'm one of those people who get itchy if either CO or OO is over 15%.

No worries! And thank you 😁

Thank you, @earlene. Your explanation does clarify. I disqualified myself because I didn't see the 2nd pass on the video. My own fault because I didn't watch the video to the end when I first looked at the rules. I would have disqualified this batch anyway because of the weird design on the...

I don't know for sure @SoapLover1, I just assumed. Maybe @earlene will clarify for us. ETA: I see that now in the video :-)

I thought the Wild Mint & Ivy sounded good too. @Zany_in_CO & @dibbles Osmanthus is in my cart for sure. I like the description on Green Tea, Ginger Milk and Tahitian Vanilla. I also thought Bergamot & Chamomile, Awapuhi and Lemon Verbena sounded good. Gosh, so many goodies and so few $$ to go...

Thank you for this!

I haven't ordered any fragrances from them but do get babassu for my deodorant and Natrasorb for steamers. Next time I order I'll try one out. What's your fave?

Thank you, @earlene! I've been trying to recreate a color scheme I saw on Pinterest(?) with a light peachy-pink and teal, but since I needed to use three colors I added the coral into the mix. I think my teal needs to be a bluer teal and the coral was way too saturated; I will reduce the amount...

Thank you and good point @Arimara. I was thinking more in the strength OOB. When they're very strong to my nose I have a hard time starting out at my usual 5%. @dibbles Thank you. Sounds like most start with their normal % and go from there. I guess I'm going to continue my next testing with...

I'm curious. Where you purchased the PO from? Was it the no-stir type? I just got two buckets of no-stir from WSP and they were both liquid so I put them in the fridge and they hardened up but after being at room temperature they turned all soupy again. My other no-stir palm was normal looking...

Mmm that blend sounds yummy. Love Spell from Micas and More is the one I'm testing at 4%. Tomorrow is 2 weeks and it's pretty strong at this point. I've never tested like this before. I've always just referred to the IFRA, reviews, the info on the fragrance listing and how it smelled OOB...

I only have a few that I find strong enough under 3% and I don't buy them again if I have to use more than 5%. That's my limit and that does get too darn expensive. I wonder if your fragrances are stronger than ours as @Vicki C mentioned? I saw your thread. It's what motivated me to get serious...

Besides using the IFRA guidelines for max usage, how do you determine what % PPO to use when you test new fragrances? Do you have a general rule-of-thumb? For my recent testing, I did most of the FOs at 5% (my typical usage rate), one I tested at 3% because it was strong OOB and one I used 4%...
