    Best Vendord for Sweet/Dessert Fragarences?

    Hello and welcome. Most suppliers carry all different types. Nature’s Garden has quite a lot of food sweets scents. I’ve used a few like chocolate brownie. Sadly food scents never sold well for me so I only occasionally make a few in cupcake soaps.

    Drain clog from soap residue

    I’ve been using my soap for 10 years and never a clog. Do you use a high SF? Use a chelator? I don’t use soap on my hair though as it ruined it years ago.
