Noooo! Thanks for the info...

I can't seem to get on...please don't tell me all my recipes are gone!:eek:

I didn't notice that change for Grapefruit Lily either. You'd think with these long-term scents, they'd send an email or something....

When I used EOs in soap, these are the recommended usage rates I went by https://www.modernsoapmaking.com/essential-oil-usage-rates-ifra-guidelines/ If your scale can weigh in grams, you can convert oz to grams to figure how much you need. Unfortunately, I gave up on EOs in soap too. My...

Yup, I don't think you'll get much scent in soap. BB's previous recommendation was around 3.5%, I think, so that's a big difference. I love this scent, so I might have to keep it around for other body products.

FYI- I was about to reorder this scent from BB, but I noticed that a reviewer recently requested the IFRA usage on this FO, and the usage rate is .91% for soap (less than 1% for all categories, actually). BB confirmed their FO calc did not have the appropriate usage rates and they were...

How much EO are you adding per pound? And is that per pound of soap batter (oils & lye solution)? Or per pound of oils only?

Another one that gets good reviews (that I haven't tried yet) is Formulator Sample Shop.

I have found many other suppliers for surfactants that I am more than happy to reccomend- Save On Citric, Lotioncrafter, & The Herberie.

Thanks. Luckily, I was not charged for the most recent order. Initially, I felt like fighting back with them, but...I'm done. I'm sure karma will serve them someday soon. ;)

A couple of people may remember this thread - https://www.soapmakingforum.com/threads/what-would-you-do.73380/ where I asked for feedback in regard to a supply quality issue I found. Well, I wanted to let you know my final impression of this company. DO NOT BUY FROM INGREDIENTS TO DIE FOR...

You have to be careful with WSP reviews. I had reviewed a few of them that I absolutely hated...and those one star reviews were never published. It makes you wonder how all WSP FOs are 4 or 5 star rated... Also, it used to be that WSP would give a % off coupon for any item you reviewed. So, I'm...

This is really cool info, Zany. I have several old FOs that I was planning on giving away, but now maybe I'll try some quick, new recipes. Thanks!

I have been experimenting with solubilizers in my bath bombs & bath oils recently. I have normal skin, but I prefer a lighter moisturizing-type feel from anything I add to my bath. I like to feel mostly clean with a hint of extra softness, so obviously , these are all relative to my taste. I...

*gulp* Ok, here's my confession.... About 50% of my time now is spent making non-soap (aka SynDet) items. While I love soap, it just wasn't enough after I got a taste for formulating. Bubble bath, shower gels, shampoos, conditioners...yeah, I make it all. Soap was my gateway drug. When I'm...

Have you looked at Vetiveraromatics.com ? EDIT: Sorry, oops, these won't work for you. For some reason I was thinking you were looking for perfume bottles...silly brain doesn't work anymore.:oops:

Yes, I think to really know, you'd have to do a order by order comparison. Shipping can vary a lot and even the type of product can increase shipping amounts as well. Sometimes, it won't matter if the price is the least expensive because you can only buy the one item from the vendor & pay...

Personally, I wouldn't want a glass container for the shower/bath. They look nice, but I would hate to think of the mess if it slipped from your hands or slid to the floor. And, I'm not selling yet but when it comes to my pricing model, I take all per unit costs into account and multiply by 3 or...

WSP Fragrance Formulator series has a Spice FO and a Hot Pepper FO.

I made a big batch of shampoo bars yesterday to give to testers. I still cannot get them to look smooth or get those air bubbles out. Does anyone use the molds from Cada Soapery?
