    Just heard Nature's Garden has been bought out by WSP

    I get a lot of my scents from WSP, so I don’t mind the expansion. WSP prices are higher so I generally wait for sales.

    How to blend FOs?

    I have a little bowl that I use to mix fragrance oils. I will cover the bowl overnight to determine if it is what I’m looking for. then place a little on a cotton ball.

    Need help for shower favors

    Melt and pour can not take many additives. I suspect the soap will not lather anymore or be very difficult to lather with the amount you added. It will continue to leak out oil for a while.

    Soap making for school kids

    Need help!

    @AliOop, that’s why I also decided to make my own soap as well. I couldn’t tolerate those soaps and Zest was the absolute worst soap I’ve ever tried.
