Coconut fo and Blackboy rose fo

[Traceyann]

Hey all, I hope this is ok to put this here .

I purchased Coconut FO and Blackboy FO from Essentials of Aust ( now I am not running this Co down as they have been fantastic ) but just beware that these 2 FO accellerated trace SUPER quick , to the point my soap went hard in the pot.....and I even soaped heaps cooler just in case....I am hoping I have saved these 2 batches so will post pics if they come out ok .....

The smell is divine just seized ......oh well

Never used any of theirs Trace - is this the first time thats happened with their FO's.

Yeah Relle it is, But I have only just started buying Fo"s from them and was slowly going through the list, I had patchouli and sandalwood seize on me today as well.....Bugger

I think I will try Big Tree as someone suggested , who do u buy from ??

This is why I stick with BB for FOs (from aussie) I'm going to get other supplies from the other Australian companies but all the BB FOs I have used have been excellent.

Cool thanks MzzBee.....

I really like the BB customer service as well, their FB page is excellent if you have questions or issues. I don't buy directly from them because their postal service really bends you over, but you can order their items through aussie as well.

Thanks heaps, I will continue to get my oils from Essentials as they are fantastic on the service and time , but am going to get my oils from BB from now on I reckon, sick and tired of soap on a spoon lol

I've been getting my FO's from NCS in Sydney, no probs with any of them. There cheap, not as expensive as Aussie.

 

[MizzBee]

Can I ask who is NCS?

I hate the smell of escentials coconut FO. I don't think it smells like coconut one bit.
I also find their FO to accelerate trace. I'm used to it now and don't have any probs. Though that being said I quiet often use half EO half FO. For me I find their FO hit and miss. Of the ones I've ordered I only like about 1/2 of them but the ones i like I REALLY like. The price is good.
I had a berry FO from them go to rice on me once too. Haven't soaped it since. It was pretty much instant rice.... :cry:

I had a terrible experience with Essentials. I ordered from them, didnt here from them for 2 weeks (had emailed them twice), I emailed and cancelled because I had ordered elsewhere (NCS). A week later they charged my credit card which included over $100 in freight (NCS charged $7 for similar amount). I emailed another 3 times asking for a refund, it took another 3 weeks before they refunded my card - I never received any communication from them the whole time. I would never deal with them.

NCS is great - freight is super cheap, and the sweet cakes fragrances are awesome. I have brought 13 in the last month and only 2 accelerated - they were both musks, everything else is perfect.

I have a feeling that Essentials supplies my local supplier (same fragrances) and everyone I have used has riced or accelerated, its just a guess though.
