What scent could you compare it to ?

Just wondering if anyone has tried Bramble berry's Fresh Bamboo Fragrance Oil ? Wondering about what the scent is like and if it sticks well in CP

Hi I was hoping to find a colorant to make a dark brown CP soap. I didn't really want to use cocoa or coffee Just wondered if anyone knows of something ? Would like to achieve a rich color, maybe there is a clay ? Thanks :grin:

Many thanks Hazel ! :clap: This clarifies a lot Doing another batch today sometime and will try the stronger scent

Great info Thanks !:thumbup:

I have a recipe that I have been using: Lard ...........464 grams Canola oil......330 grams Olive Oil........100 grams Coconut Oil....350 grams lye...............171 grams water...........350 grams How much FO would normally be used for a batch this size ?

Wow that's great, didn't know you could combine FO and EO Thanks :)

Bless you !!! MANY THANKS :clap:
