No offense taken. Awaphi seaberry smells like a fruity herbal essence. I’ve got plenty of this and can send you some if you want. Send me a DM. I’ll never use all this FO. In LS, I’ve found many cloud the soap. I’ve also not much experience with LS either but I’ve tried Sangria and Raspberry and...

Another company I had luck with is from New Jersey called Shemen or ShemenTov. Their lemon verbena is scrumptious as is their lavender. If one orders from them, ya have to call in the order. Old fashioned but fine fragrances and EO

My experience with them was a very long time ago so perhaps they changed formulas and then they had very very good customer service. So, that was around 1997 maybe? 😂 I’ve always had excellent experiences with sweet cakes Sweetcakes is for soap but I didn’t want to buy more fragrance for the...

2nd update. As of today, what was done yesterday is still holding well with zero signs of separation. It’s not super thick, which I want and not real thin to run through the pouf on to the floor. So if you try Methylcellulose, try 15oz soap, scent it, mix 1 tsp methylcellulose to 1oz distilled...

Remember which brands were the worst? Lebermuth was the worst for soaps that I recall. Doesn’t like lye. Best imho is sweet cakes. Not only do they perform flawlessly in both soy candles and soaps, but their fragrances are all spot on and none of those cheap sickly yucky fragrances

Best love spell I’ve ever used was from alabaster fragrance and color but I think they closed. A shame as their stuff was all top notch

Forgot…as far as colorants go, I stay clear of regular FD&C food coloring from the grocery because the lye will turn those colors upside down. The use of mica works very well and doesn’t throw a hammer in the crankcase so to speak

I’ve always had the best luck with sweetcakes.com fragrance oils as they are made especially for CP soaps. They also tell the buyer what the characteristics of the FO are and what color the soap may turn to after using it. I’m slightly embarrassed to say, but I’ve got about 50-one pound bottles...

Not sure. I have them for making egg free ice cream but food items are either eaten cold or hot; not for storage at room temperature from the experiments ive done. I had a test soap going out to a friend and decided she will get the experimental MC thickened stuff 😂 On this one, I poured 15oz...

I was experimenting last year with an organic paint mask using arrowroot, xanthan and Guar just to discover, like you did, a soured mess of utter disaster. Bacteria laden sewer smelling garbage.

😂 it’s been in the fridge about 20 min so far. I’m not sure if it needed to be heated but I pretended I was making gravy. Gravy is always thin when heated then gets thicker upon cooling so I used the MC until I could feel it thicker then stopped. I guess I’m a way, I do want my LS to be a...

Update…used a FO especially for CP soap and that did not cloud the LS nor did it affect the thickness of the soap. I mixed about 1-2tsp methylcellulose to a little distilled water first then added to hot LS (16oz) No chunks and it thickened well. Not over the top thick cause I don’t want to use...

last night it was holding well with no change in consistency UNTIL I added a little Lebermuth BlackBerry FO. It immediately turned cloudy then original thickness then separated overnight. I have a strong feeling I’ll be chasing my tail on this experiment using methylcellulose and suggest...

I’ll have a look at that link. Thank you for resending

I don’t have HEC @Kcryss . The link turned black when I tapped it. Very runny soap doesn’t bother me yet some friends wanted it a little thicker like commercial soap. The experiment did work and only time will tell as for how long and sturdy it turns out

I’ll keep you posted @Tara_H as to what happens a week or so from now.

I didn’t have issues until the stuff was heated snd then added .5 tsp more MC and a 1/16 tsp sea salt. When I did that I got white chunks. Strainer was old snd got some crap from that but for now, it’s holding well. Thick but not gelatinous jelly

Had 16oz left over LS I made the other day and also found some methylcellulose in the cabinet while looking for something. Let’s see what that does in LS I said 😂 To room temperature LS, I sprinkled in about 1.5tsp methylcellulose then stirred lightly to avoid foam. Ended up adding .5tsp more...
