    Using apple cider in soap?

    Are there any food/drink products that have a great scent on its own that can be used in soap that will STILL retain that great scent, or is it all eaten by the lye?

    Oh my gosh thank you thank you, you are a saint sent to me. I'll just hour for the best and when using titanium dioxide I won't scent that portion of my batter to avoid the ugly browning. I think I'll avoid the sugar but will try the salt idea. As with the stearic is it ok to melt it with...

    What is the purpose of using powdered goats milk in such a small amount? And could I try it bit leaving off the goats milk,clove Brown sugar and use only half of the amount called for on the puree? Would it be less likely to over heat to that extreme notemperatures to mention be a bit easier for me?
