Hi there, I'm using soy wax to make my candles, I saw somewhere to add fragrence to wax at 180 f for best scent retention and throw. Is this correct ? Seem a bit high to me, but I'm new at candles so could do with some help. Thanks.

I'm new at candles too, but I just made a wax tart with. 100% soy and added steric acid and got the same colour as your photo.

Ok thanks, would adding a different wax to make a blend help?

Just started making candles, so I thought I'd make some wax tarts. I've used soy wax, and candle friendly scent at 5%. Colour is candle powder. They have come out ok and smell lovely, but there is a white bloom on the top, swirly white. I thought I'd mixed the wax thoroughly using a milk...

That's fantastic. I'm going to get my son to make one for me, !!

Love it! Sandalwood a bit pricy for me though

Either ebay or Amazon. The little herb shop. Also want to try the dried walnut leaves too.

Running out of patch so I may use just a few drops of vetiverte .

Mmm. Like them both. Now I want to do swirles!

Yes. I thought so too. Perhaps some patchouli with lemongrass for the top note. I also have some vetiverte but not sure what to put this with

Never used this supplier, but there is another thread here where UK soapers discuss suppliers so have a look there.

Got my black walnut hull powder today! It smells. Nutty!! Any suggestions for EO,s to go in it. Got most of the usual CP essentials oils. Once made I'll post picks, but I'm going for the natural look so no swirls!

Mmmm. Should I try my tap ??

Let me know how it turns out and if the colour morphs. I haven't ordered mine yet so I'm a couple of days behind you !!

I've seen some lovely coloured soap, using walnut product - dark brown but lovely and translucent With specks of dark brown. I've seen two items for sale and I don't know which one would give me the look I'm after Black walnut hulls powdered Walnut leaves powdered Has anyone used...

You will have to tell us which oils you used and what percentages. Also when did you make the soap as time is a factor.

What would happen if you didn't temper the coco butter? I didn't when I last made body butter and now I'm wondering what it would have been like if I had !!

No wonder there are very few soap makers in the EU, I think I'll make candles!! No hassle and better mark up.

Freshskin. The fragrence didn't behave, not saying it was definitely that, but I think so. I also bought some EO, they are cheaper than other suppliers but they don't have the same strength of smell, and feel greasy ? Don't mind using them is soap, but won't be using them in face creams.

I love the first one, confetti. It's lovely..
