I use 2 tablespoons of loose rooibos tea in 1 lb. 6oz. of water and simmer 20 minutes or more. I make it the day ahead and strain it very well so there's no particulate. Alternatively use 4 tea bags. Actually I use more water because you lose water in simmering. My recipe calls for 1 lb. 6oz...
I get this question all the time from my customers. I use glass jars for heavier creams and will take returns on those because they're easy to sterilize, but pumps, no. I could spend all my time cleaning up other people's messes and sterilizing.
@AliOop and @DeeAnna I knew there had to be an answer to that!! No bagel expert here. Just always thought my mouth gets sore when I eat pretzels because they've been lye dipped!
I should have said "generally " in "my experience" I am not able to do it. Yes I also have an Old Spice one. I would have no idea how to do a baby powder one. Good for you!
I am not at all familiar with the scents you describe, but I will say it's nearly impossible to use E.O.s to recreate a fragrance. You may come up with something you like but it won't be identical to a certain water fragrance.
Oh you poor thing! I have hypoglycemia but FOs don't cause it to drop! When I first started to make soap 19 years ago, there was an essential oil blend I used that made me feel sick. I had to go outside. It doesn't bother me at all now.
Yes I do but not to the extreme that it seems you do. I can get through making the soap and then take it to my cousin's house to cure. Only rarely has an essential oil blend done that. I know exactly what you mean by that "lingering synthetic backnote."
I have a friend living in British Columbia who is looking for a coconut free soap for her little girl. Mine all have coconut oil in. Does anyone here make a soap without who would ship? She's rather in a hurry!
Leave it to me to get things wrong. I misread your reply to mean you liked the colour in the second one. Yes I would like pink Bayou in the round one too!
