    MMS Sweetgrass

    Have a couple ounces left of the sweetgrass from MMS. I do not want to buy more but want to use it up with an essential oil blend. How about eucalyptus? or Lemongrass? or Litsea? Would those be too overpowering that you wouldn't even notice the seagrass fragrance?

    Nag champa recipe?

    I am trying to get rid of my nag champa fragrance. I just do seem to like fragrances. What would you blend it with in order to change the scent some? Mine is from Canden Gray where I generally buy my essential oils from.

    Is 2.6% FO enough?

    Looking at BB is that amount for batter or just oils. Getting so confused on that. I've always used .7 per oils on eos but just recently been looking at fragrances because the cost in the soap.

    Goat Milk Soap threads

    I do not like making milk soaps but when I do the split method works best. I use to make them with sheep milk but now I buy the goat milk. Sold the sheep! Wondering how different cows milk would be to goat milk. The sheep milk was heavier or more fat than the goat milk I buy. Cow milk is...

    Frankincense Essential Oil

    The FO is very strong and perfumy (sp) scent. When I used it in a blend with Lavender eo it was nice. Right now I have it blended with patchouli and it smells nice but by itself I don't think so. Mine came from Camden Gray.

    Patchouli

    There out of stock but I'd wait. Never ordered from them before either. I think I must start checking things out. Had always ordered from just Camden Gray or MMS. Need to branch out! Have you guys had luck with them shipping on time and all.

    Patchouli

    It is actually the essential oil which of course is better. Their pound price is cheaper than most. Never used them before but maybe I'll give this a try. I've tried MMS fragrance patchouli and it has a perfermory (sp) scent but was fine in blends.

    Patchouli

    It is very expensive right now. Looking for a close fragrance to use in blends only. Camden Gray doesn't have one. MMS has one at 44.00 a pound which I can get the eo at 68.00 a pound. Seems high to me. Any thoughts?

    MMS/SoapCalc

    I really never paid any difference to sap or anything else just like how my soap feel. Yesterday was the first time I put it through SoapCal and it did fine, I was happy where it fell between conditioning and all. I am really going to have to look at essential oils causing the dos. I cure on...

    MMS/SoapCalc

    Had no idea lavender needed to be stored in the refrigerator. I've always had pretty good luck with Camden Gray, that bottle was the only one that gave me a problem as an essential oil. Now, I used there lime margarita and it did dos all over the place but I use a lot of the fragrance so I...

    MMS/SoapCalc

    I've been trying to figure that out for a long time. I'll make say 8 batches and one always goes bad. I am thinking I might add too much distilled water to those batches or say citrus where you add a high amount to get the scent maybe too much for the lye. You got me I'm guessing.. Never...

    Soap bar Quality Numbers

    Very interesting. I never looked at the numbers until today. My linoleic is 8 so I was wondering if that was high. Been getting a little rancid in some bars.

    MMS Sweetgrass

    I turned out nice but the scent didn't last as long as I would have liked. Pretty though with the green swirl and everyone seemed to like it. Just needed to be stronger than what MMS recommended.

    MMS/SoapCalc

    [That is what I did. Did Palm kernel instead of Palm Oil.Took me awhile to figure it out but now I know the difference in some of these oils. I trying to figure out why some go bad but I doubt it is the lye which I buy from red devil. I'm thinking fragrances. I generally use essential oils...

    Anise oil name ideas?

    I made it for Christmas with a red swirl. I combined it with lavender and called it Christmas Lavender. It wouldn't sell and wouldn't sell and just when I was going to pull it from my little booth one person came in and loved it so much she bought them all. I like it but my husband does not...
