My base recipe has 6 oils.

Are you talking about FCC EO's? I haven't found any FCC grade EO's in health stores.

The only suppliers I know that offer the IFRA certificates right on their websites are Nature's Garden Candles, Wholesale Supplies Plus, Candle Science and Bitter Creek. I do know that Peak Candles will send it to you if you ask.

I've noticed a couple suppliers doing this very thing to their customers lately. It's awful and incredibly unethical. Suppliers are always asking for us B & B'ers to post pics of our products using their ingredients on their pages, but not if they're going to copy you.

First I'd ask this person if they are wanting the scent of amber (which most people I've found mean the balsamic vanilla-like scents that are out there) or the resin (which does not have that vanilla-like smell) or whatever. I just had someone ask me for an amber soap recently and after asking...

Kathie, when I do an infusion that I need soon. I take my herbs, put them in a clean sterile jar and pour just enough oil over them to make sure my herbs are fully covered. I put water in my double boiler and then put the jar in it. On low to medium heat I warm the oils/herbs for 20-40...

Which fo is it & from which supplier? Maybe someone here's used it. You could always mix it with a little litsea eo to help it.

Well that stinks :( Which fo were you using?

Welcome to the forum :)

I like Rockin' Green. I used them a bit before making my own detergent. I remember finding them way back while doing The Cloth Diaper Hunt (which is going to start any day!!! LOL ) I wasn't sure if they have coconut in it, so I emailed them the other day. They didn't say yes or no. All...

I honestly don't know how much salt the people used. I do know that when I make my salt soaps (equal parts salt to oils) that I only need 1/2 of the recommended fo's and eo's. Also, if you use Brambleberry fo's or eo's, they have a fragrance calculator on their website...

Yes, you can. Just spray them with alcohol, like you would MP embeds.

The sugars in the honey help give some nice bubbles. Also, I've noticed that when I add honey at trace, their is a light sweet scent to my soap.

Did you ever get a reply from them? I just saw someone else asking about them on FB.

Could you post the recipe please? It looks like it separated though.

Since it's finally starting to get warm here, I'm cleaning up our yard & doing some spring cleaning inside. Fun times. But I'm running low on Lavender soap, which means I'll be doing a big batch of that on Monday. I also need to get some herbs infused for my next batch of castile soap.

When I use clay to anchor scents, I mix the eo in with the clay and let it sit and soak for a few minutes. Usually about 1 TBSP clay per pound of soaping oils. I honestly don't know if it works or if it's my imagination. We recently did an EO fixative swap here on the forum and salt seemed to...

Very beautiful swirling :)
