I was wondering if colloidal oats at 1Tb PPO accelerate trace or if they discolor in CP soap. The reason I was wondering this is I tried a new Grapefruit Honeysuckle FO but also tried adding colloidal oats for the first time. My soap really accelerated. I mostly assume it was the FO but wanted...

Without knowing exactly how bad it smells, you also might be surprised that people might like it. I had one morph that to me smelled like smoked or cured meat. I had a friend smell it and they didn't hate it. I named it a hunting-themed name and it sold out. To each their own?

I also like it with Geranium or some of the geranium heavy FOs from Scent Memory like Geranium & Incense or Terra or Fertile Valley

Has anybody soaped with spiced cardamom? I did and the scent changed to something akin to smoked meat! I started wondering if it was the olive oil I used or some weird reaction with the alkanet powder I used. I also soaped with Oajan, now Honeyed Cinnamon & Amber, which during the cure initially...

Has anyone tried Cedarwood & Aged Rum? I wonder if it discolors and how the scent retention is. Thanks!

Has anybody tried BW 924? It's a coconut apricot blend without paraffin. It is soy based i think. I have only seen it at Aztec aand Candles & Supplies. C&S says it cures in 18-24 hours! I just poured test candles and so far tthe CT is great. I am trying to compare it to Coco84X & Ceda Serica and...

Has anybody tried Endless Summer from SM? I like the description but there aren't aany reviews yet. I have noticed that SM is starting to add soaping notes to some which is helpful. Any feedback on Endless Summer will be much appreciated!

Can I ask where you get your Ho Wood & Lavender? That is a nice price

Hello! I am looking for opinions on Wellington Fragrances. They are within driving distance from me. I searched on this forum and 1 other and found some old mixed reviews and just wanted to see if there are any updated opinions. They have a lot of the same dupes as Scent Memory but much...

Thanks for that/why did you do that to me!? A couple sound interesting...I am showing restraint with 7 on my wishlist now!

I have made using Ol Mossy Walls, Helloooo Sailor and Terra but I mixed Terra with Geranium & Incense. Hellooo did discolor slightly to light tan but I used indigo and dead sea clay with uncolored kaolin clay and it looks really good to me. I really like that one. For Terra I used Alkanet...

Has anybody used Coconut Apricot Wax (Ceda Serica), Coconut 83 or Coconut 84X (with beeswax)? There is a vendor near me that sells all 3. They also carry a coco-soy blend (EC26?). I just was wondering if anybody has tried any of these and how you liked them. Even better if you have tried...

What do you think of Japanese woods & Franc ensens? Also, how similar or different are sugared rose petals & rose Peppered plum? Thanks!

I usually get my sodium hydroxide at a great price ($2.94/lb) from Bulk Apothecary. They are out of stock. I looked at WSP & they are out as well. BB has it but for like $7/lb. Does anybody know of a good place to get lye these days? I want around 8lbs

Yes I did a few days ago. It discolors. I uses green clay hoping it would be green but the discoloration made it a greenish brown. It looks more like bark than pine needles. But for me it was ok. If you wanted to do more Chirstmasy colors maybe it wouldn't work for that.

Scent Memory has a nice one called Pine Resin & Guaiac Wood that I really am liking https://scentmemoryfragrance.com/products/pine-resin-guaiac-wood?_pos=1&_psq=pin&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Actually, Bohemian did accelerate. I forgot about it because I did a single color and didn't mess around before getting it in the mold. I don't think it discolored. I used Alkanet root to get a nice purple/gray and am really pleased with how it looks.

I soaped a few days ago with Delina Exclusif, Bohemian Spa & Ol Mossy walls. Exclusif did accelerate and discolor. I use Goat's Milk and try to use only clays and other more natural colors. Exclusif is so feminine & pretty smelling that I wanted to do a pretty swirl with pink, purple & indigo...

Another update on ones I have soaped with: Cafe Vetiver is awesome! I mentioned before I was afraid that OOB it smelled too similar to some of the others I bought but it doesn't in actuality. I purchased it after getting the sample packet of it in my first order. In soap it smell like I...
