Forgive my cluelessness, but why do you need a solvent? Although I make CP soap now, I have made rebatch for years by choice (I would buy soap shreds). I like my rebatch because I can use fragrances that normally accelerate and I can use oils my skin loves without them being damaged by lye...

Thanks, Zany. The link didn't work: Forums Oops! We ran into some problems. But I remember the original thread, so I went back to that. but unfortunately, it only talks about how the fragrance smells, not how it behaves. :(

Has anyone soaped with Scent Memory Wild Fig and Cassis yet or London Calling yet? :)

You can get a 10 pound jug of lye at Amazon for $44

I knew I should have asked you first. :videovisit: It does stick and smell amazing. Karma was my "signature scent" for about 15 years, and my stepdaughter fell in love with it and so did her husband. She's finishing up her PhD dissertation so I thought a batch of Karma soap would be a nice...

That's pretty close to what happened to me today. I was intrigued, and really puzzled about the cut (I'm having trouble picturing how it would look cut normally instead of horizontally), so I was hoping to make a batch and see what worked. I used Life Lessons, which is FB's version of Lush...

Sometimes this whole IFRA thing reminds me of coffee. Why? Because one week the report says "Drinking coffee helps you live longer!!" and weeks later a new study will come out with some new malady brought on by coffee. Repeat ad nauseum. It has been like this for as long as I can remember...

Glad to hear about both Exclusif and BohoSpa. I had read that Boho accelerated, it's good to know that's not always the case. Any discoloration? I love it so much I ordered a 4 oz bottle during her sale (I'm a hobby soaper--I only have 4 oz or larger of my favs), so I want to make a batch of...

Have you read Lilian Jackson Braun's "The Cat who........" mysteries?

Agreed. It's breathtakingly lovely.

Let's see....most of these I have "boxed sets" of ebooks Julie Smith---writes several different series with different protagonists. Amy Van Sant--Pineapple Port Series Dorothy Simpson---I love the Inspector Thanet series -- British DCI London Lovett -- the Port Danby series and the Firefly...

MWF I believe is Midwest Fragrance. I didn't like Taste the Rainbow OOB, but it smells really nice in the curing soap.

I usually snag all the free cozy mysteries I find that come out on Kindle (I even have one called "Lye in Wait" where the protagonist is a soaper.) :) There are often multibook "boxed" sets by the same author and usually they're free for a week or two. I tend to enjoy a series because you get...

They have a link on their site which has PDFs of the fragrances and their IFRA rates. I haven't opened one to check it, but that may be of some help. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9rk5lh13u6rr52i/AAC47-3IvsmhRr7Wc6uvKlcSa?dl=0

I'm crazy about Bohemian Spa--so far I stretched my 1 oz bottle into a solid hair conditioner, a single M&P soap, a roll-on perfume, an after shower lotion, and a spray perfume. All small sizes, but that's how strong the fragrance is. I took advantage of her sale and got a 4oz bottle at 30%...

:( I don't and have never done FB or any of the other social media sites. This forum is about as social as I get..

But, but, didn't you move what I had posted in the other thread over here? :smallshrug: No matter. Whatever you want is fine by me. I'm easy that way. I know you didn't ask, but what I think I would find the most helpful is to have a main section called Vendors or Vendor Discussions or...

I typed an edit which for some reason didn't show up. I asked her about Arugula, and as long as I was asking stuff, I asked about why IFRA for soap was often less than IFRA for lotion. She responded almost immediately, which was impressive. This is what she said: Unfortunately with the new...

Here's an odd thing--I dropped Kristen an email about it. I just made some tarts with Arugula, because the website lists the percentages like this: WASH OFF PRODUCTS...1.7 PERFUME...7.03 BODY LOTION...3.33 However, on the bottle of Arugula, it says SOAP: 26.67% and LOTION: 10.37% Quite a...
