The problem with that is that many FOs have a lower limit. But if it's higher I'm gonna try it! Thank you DeeAnna, Isg and Susie, those are great tips! I find BB FOs are working better for me. Do you have any prefered company?

Thank you Cmzaha and DeeAnna, I'm glad to hear that, since I like my recipe and, besides, it's very simple. Kamahido, I always use the maximum allowed for each FO/EO, so I don't think it's a problem of amount. I don't know if it can be the cure conditions, since I live in a extremely hot and...

I'm relatively new to soapmaking, and I've been frustrated because I can't seem to make almost any FO stick. The other day, I was watching a Royalty Soaps video, and Katie said that so and so recipe had a "great scent retention". And it got me thinking. Is that a thing? And, if it is, which...

Hey Saltedfig We have avocado and macadamia here too, and at very low prices. Actually, it's extemely easy to source top quality vegetable and essential oils here. But don't get me started on micas and fragrances! Ugh! It' almost non existent!! The shower gel is almost clump free and as soon...

Toxikon, I'll sure post my results. And the same is true for us. The US soapmakers have so much that we can't even dream to buy down here. The thing is to adapt and create great soaps with what's on hand! :)

cmzaha, it must be amazing in lip balms, I'm gonna try it. Thank you! And about the properties of the oils, I agree. I think lye kills them all. But, as a new soapmaker, I'm starting to notice some oils smell super bad after saponification (olive oil, IMHO) and others, like Brazil nut, smell...

Hey, Dixiedragon, I live in Brazil. :) Brazil nut oil smells slightly nutty OOB, but after saponification it changes into a sweet and strong, lovely smell. You can find this oil in the US, I've seen it somewhere. It's well worth a try. But today someone here told they're selling guava...

So, I would like to know if anyone here has experience with exotic oils, like passion fruit seed, guava seed, etc. in soapmaking. Yesterday, I made a batch of shower gel with 90% Brazil nut and it is absolutely amazing and smells divine. So now I wanna know more. I understand those oils...

Cellador that would be great! Thank you so much! Saltedfig I really hope you're wrong haha! But I'm gonna dig deeper. Thank you! :)

Same here toxicon!

Hey Primrose and Saltedfig! Sure. I used to think the same way till i found this: http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/fragrance-oils/natural-fragrance-oils.aspx And now I'm confused and super interested since my products are all natural!

Hey guys, I've just discovered the existence of natural fragrance oils. Since I have zero experience with US suppliers, could you point me to the reliable ones, or to sites you know sell good all natural fragrance oils? I've seen some in BathBody supply.com; from nature with love and...

Thank you so much guys!! Yes I want to pipe on set bars because I don't really like that "cross sectiom frosting" effect. Well I'm gonna give it a try and then let you all lnow! :)

Hey Kittish, you're absolutely right. What I mean is if it's possible to pipe "on" an already set soap. My mistake! Thank you!

Hey! I'm new here and to soapmaking, and I would like to know if it's possible to pipe an already set soap. Thank you! :)
