Oil of Olay bottle finally empty! Yahoo! So, today I tried making a moisturizer for daily use on my 66 (barely) year old skin. I was aiming for non-pore clogging, as un-greasy as as possible, small (1 4 oz. jar) batch, just for me. The end result was pretty, filled 1 1/2 4 oz. jars, probably...

When reading the description for my fragrances from Nurture it says to use at a maxium of 5%. Is that of oil or of the total recipe? Thanks!

I am a Canadian soaper and wondering if anyone could recommend fragrance oils from New Directions Aromatics and/or Saffire Blue.

First time shopping at Nurture for fragrances. Any recommendations?

I have : Raspberry Truffle- does this discolor? The reviews are mixed. Love! Birthday cake- OOB YUM! Stargazer lily- I really like but bet it moves fast Strawberry OOB like cough syrup so I will test a small batch Spiced Cranberry- OOB all I smell is sweet which may work Coconut Lime...

Hi everyone. I'm searching for a vanilla fragrance oil that has a very natural, non-chemical scent. Kind of like the old version of The Body Shop's Vanilla Perfume Oil. I've only heard a few other people complain about this, so I think this is just a case of us being hypersensitive, but my...

Hi, Does anyone know if AWB is still in business or if not, where their old fragrances can be sourced from?

I feel like I'm asking too many questions lol. I watched many youtube videos about making liquid soap, but they don't mention adding fragrances. How do you add fragrances and where do you get them? How much would you add in? Will fragrances make soap thinner? If it does, can you use NaOH to...

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and also new to soapmaking, have made just 2 loaves until now. Hope you apologise me if I ask something which has been answered, but there are soo many threads here... I have a simple question. What do I do wrong if my soaps dont smell much with the essential...

Ok so awhile back I bought a bottle of FO from another soaper but she would. OT give me the name of the supplier and overcharged me for the oil I am sure which is what it is because I wanted it. But I know a lot of her scents and I think her supplier is Wellington. Problem is I have never used...

Hi all, I'm a newbie when it comes to soap in general, and am looking to make and sell bars of M&P soaps. However, one thing I keep bumping into is the mention of "IFRA Guidelines". Some sites seem to harp on following these rules (WSP chief among them, as they list maximum fragrance loads...

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good dilution rate for essential oils in a carrier oil. Say for instance if I have my EOs of lemon, sweet orange, and patchouli, what rate would I dilute it at to make it any easier to handle FO so to speak. I got a lot of inspiration from a woman here...

I am fairly new to soap making and have my soaps in 2 shops on consignment. So I would like to know what are your three top selling soap fragrances? What coffee scent do you prefer? I have my soaps in a coffee shop. Thank you.

my mom really likes rose, and the one i got is called fresh cut roses, and i dont know where it's from. i mean, i bought it from a guy who sells imported FOs (i'm in asia, btw), but i didnt dare ask him where he originally got it from. problem: i noticed slight curdling/ricing. just a bit...

Does anyone know if the Bath & Body Works FO's are safe for skin? I saw today that they have a bunch of their soap scents available as a heated home fragrance oil, but on the label said "Eye Irritant". Does anyone have experience with their oils in CP soaps? Thanks

Hi Soapers! I'm looking for excellent sources to purchase bulk fragrance oils directly from the manufacturer. So 25 lb. quanitites or more. Does anyone have recommendations? I know of Agilex in NJ, but I need a couple others as well. Thanks!!!!!!

I've become a little bit jealous of some competitors whose soap seems to just lock in the fragrance so nicely. I've notice that they are mostly using spice or flower type scents, while I'm using things like chocolate and citrus. However, it doesn't seem to matter whether I use 3 Tps or 15, the...

Anyone have a recommendation for a Bayberry scent for soap? The scent I am thinking of is the deep, green, spicy scent, no musk or little musk though. The Scent Works has one, New England Bayberry and it sounds perfect but I've sometimes been dissapointed with the fragrances there. Love, love...

Can you take things like vanilla pods, cinnamon, fresh mint etc and add it to some olive oil and add that to your soap instead of using store-bought fragrance oils/essential oils?
