What's so strange about a supply company in Newfoundland? People everywhere love to make soap.

I should soften my remarks about NDA's F.O.s. There are a few I have liked. Their Ruby Grapefruit smells very real, haven't tried it yet. I like their ylang ylang f.o. better than the nature identical. Sweet Pea is lovely OOB haven't tried it yet in CP soap.

My sandalwood accelerates so there is no time for anything! Just get it in the mold, the last of the batter goes in like hot process, so it is a solid tan with a rustic looking top. It is soothing sandalwood from WSP. Love the scent but hard to work with.

I buy all my E.O.s from them. I don't like many of their F.O.s though. I find them weak and chemical smelling. I do buy their Happy for Men F.O. and add a little lime E.O. to it. As someone else said their dark Patchouli E.O. is the best! At a great cost but way less than anywhere else. @Vicki...

It will be good to see how it turns out but I'm sure you won't get the brilliant orange that beta carotene capsules give you. The capsules are concentrated beta carotene .

I guess I don't have that experience. I cure for 6 weeks and still if wrapped soap sits for a couple months there is shrinkage. I use 33% lye concentration.

I don't wrap and label (for sale) until I need them. The soap continues to shrink and the wrapper gets loose if you wrap and then store.

Have you ever used beta carotene capsules for orange? Very messy undertaking but brilliant brilliant orange!

Aww, so sorry @ Zany_in_CO

I don't have a front load washer. So if I make the salt laundry freshener and throw it right in the tub wouldn't I have leftover crystals after the cycle?

I must have gotten a weak batch of lit seats once, didn't have much smell at all so I never bought it again. Litsea! (Auto correct doesn't make sense)

How would you colour such a blend? Or would you do this one in a solid colour, the colour that it naturally turns out to be?

I use both, but I always buy phthalate free F.O.s. Some of my customers request only E.O.s. Dark Patchouli is something I use a lot of, regardless of cost. Just love it. I dread the thought of trying to find a good F.O. replacement. I guess I go more by what my customers want. As for me, it's a...

Good idea @Marsi, It is a shame to throw all that away if there's a way to save it.

If it smells bad from humidity then I don't think it could be saved as it's likely mildew. Since I can't see and smell it, I don't know. It's the only thing I could think of if there was no chance of spray on the plant.

Not to doubt an experienced dryer, but maybe not quite dry when put away?

Yes, I do consider in soap that it's a wash off product. Some E.O.s I wouldn't put in a lotion.

I don't know anything about AB but as far as I know anyone can write a receipt. It's only a record of a transaction. Receipt books aren't restricted goods! :) Do you have any idea when I might expect this?

I agree. Fourteen years ago when I started into this, I bought 500 ml bottles of E.O.s not having the experience to know some of them would not be used very often. Some are just now running out. They worked fine as far as scent/rancidity goes. As far as beneficial properties I have no idea. I...

Even if I have one of those receipts from a dollar store receipt book, it would be sufficient.
