Any real uses for grapeseed and corn oil?

Maybe certain grocery store oils, being sealed in smaller batches at the plant, are fresher than bulk oils purchased through soaping sites that are rebottled before shipping out. Specialty oils aren't available locally, forcing me to buy them online. Who knows how they handle their bulk oils.... could be luck of the draw: one time we get fresh oils; next time, bottom of the barrel... one reason I've pretty much stopped using them.

Here's an interesting pictorial link about a single-oil swap, showing how 24 one-oil soaps turn out, both initially and over time. Again, we have no way of knowing how those oils were handled before being made into soap... still it's illuminating:

A couple of year ago one of our members on here, Achemy and Ashes, did a great experiment with single oil soaps. She put a ton of time into it. Hope she's still around.

I remember Alchemy! Too bad she's not still around... she was good.

Yeah, I was hoping she was still here too. I made some really nice cyber-friends when I was more active here a couple of years ago....here and the square foot gardening forum. New friends are always good too.

Thanks for reminding me about her, Goji... I'll reread some of her old posts.
