I use these and press the residue as much as possible with a silicone spatula. I still get microscopic residue but I don't mind that. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PDKMJ43?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Whew, it's not me! Thank you so much!

I want to do the "search by essential oil" in EOCalc but it won't let me choose any of the eos. I have tried it in Safari, in Chrome and on my Windows laptop and it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Your mold's L X W X D X .4 will give you the amount of oil to use for that mold.

I learned from a homesteading book in 1979 with my rendered tallow. I've loved the process since then even with the improved information and processes that I am still learning. While I did all of the swirls and colors for a bit and all of the oils, I usually go back to herbal infusions...

Thank you! Thank you!

Wow! Thank you!

Thank you!

Misschief, would an emulsifier solve that?

Thank you all, now I have more info and will skip adding honey for now. I need to go to Humble Bee & Me and do some research. I probably should have done that before bothering you all but this is such a great source of hands on experience and not just theoretical info.

I've been looking at ingredients of some advertised body products and have found more than one that add honey to an anhydrous mixture and they don't use a preservative. I always thought that a preservative was necessary with honey as an additive. Is that right?

No, I just wanted to know the recommendations/ratios for oils/butters/additives/preservatives without having to look each one up. I guess I'm lazy. I haven't used the great info that AliOop gave me but I will.

Ali, thank you!

I could certainly use a calculator for various factors in all oil concoctions as well as emulsions.

Thank you!

Does anyone have a source for a dupe of Scent Works Tupelo Honey? I've been out of soapmaking for about 15 years and I'd love to find this fragrance oil again.
