The syringe would work or plastic squirt bottles are fabulous- just be sure your at a light trace with a non accelerating fragrance. This statement is not to be rude or anything so please don't anyone take it as such... All the swirled CP soaps after awhile are all starting to look the same...

Yep it looks separated to me as well...is it zapping? I probably wouldn't try to unmold that for a few days and try sticking a fan on it.

I put them in a confetti soap or use them to decorate the tops of soap. Oils are too expensive to waste. :)

LOL Thanks Genny. Here is a better description: Both bottles smell like mint mixed with Magic Marker- it's almost a chemical smell but maybe that's the herby part. It could be I'm too used to the Candy Cane goodness of redistilled. I should have known to leave well enough alone but the...

Oregon Trail OMH is ridiculously fabulous. I like most of their FO's. I love Cranberry Apple Marmalade from Peak as well- it's really nice but will brown if you don't stabilize it.

I like it blended with Sweet Orange for an acne bar. I second that it mixes well with all the oils that the above poster wrote. I think Lavender and Lemon help with bug bites and such as well. Peppermint cuts that medicine a bit- at least redistilled does.

Lilac and Honeysuckle stuck for me both with a bit of acceleration.

This is probably a stupid question, in fact I know it is but what does Pure Peppermint EO smell like? Is it supposed to smell more grassy and less minty than redistilled Peppermint? I bought Peppermint Oil not redistilled thinking I would try it even though I love the redistilled and it...

It isn't lazy hun...it's accurate. :) I do mine for Cream soap and it's just no fun. LOL

I have been using the same Rubbermaid pitchers for ever now- they hold up well. :)

I totally agree here except for the 1lb- yes you are wasting less but at 1 pound you better hope your scale is right- I would go 2 pounds and see- that seems like a good beginner size. 1 pound for testing fragrances or recipes- definitely works when you have quite a few batches under your...

I think I would be completely grossed out by soap oils used in food. It doesn't seem right to me. I think Judy had it right- fry something in it. Though I don't save frying oil either many people do though.

Breathable shrink and an organza bag with a hang tag. People always comment on the nice packaging so I guess I'm doing something right. I have always shrink wrapped soap- it keeps the dust off and looks nice. It also really helps when you get really busy to have easy packaging... Just...

Along the same lines- Yogurt is amazing in soap and so is Buttermilk. Oils that lend the creamy factor as someone posted above. My favorites are Cocoa and Shea for that. Sometimes- it's the synergy of all your oils together once your recipe is formulated that can make a creamy bar without...

TKB has an awesome hot pink...not sure if it's cp stable though- it probably is but you should double check with them. I use it in HP soap so it's different.

Olive is considered a hard oil- think end product. The list is a mile long as far as stable and unstable oils go. Some examples: Unstable: Hemp, Canola, Grapeseed, Soy, Cottonseed, Rice Bran Stable: Coconut, Jojoba, Palm, etc... There are many more but it's probably best if you...

I would be more than happy to tell you but then I'd have to kill you. :) Ok- totally kidding. Please bear in mind- I'm biased as I like HP better though I started many moons ago with CP and I'm kind of over it. I do it for some special bars but generally I like to cook things. :) Regarding...

LOL- I forgot that one...I could be a little guilty of it. :oops:

I have it in Pink- I like it. :)

Oooh blobbed could be pretty- great for those textured tops. :) I'm glad it turned out better for you. It is weird how different oils react with different people and their environments. It's interesting...for a nerdy soaper like me. :D
