FO recommendation

[mutinyintl]

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to order that from WS I’ve been wanting to try some of their FO's anyway. So far I've only purchased from BB, NG and from a local (hour away) place called Pine Meadows in Provo, Ut. The later had a sent called Sea Salt and Lime that I quite like. But I've yet to soap with it. I'm excited to now see what Wholesale Supplies has that I might want to pick up.

Mobjack Bay, I think I would actually like that one too. I'm a Cali boy that loves those kind of smells. Reminds me of home.

The usage rate for CP on that is very high. Do you have to use that high a %? I usually just do 1 oz PPO. But I’m still new at this.

Hello! Would you be able to provide the recipe and amounts for everything you used?

4 oz. cacao butter
1 oz. pumpkin seed oil
.4 oz. jojoba oil

4.71 oz. lye
9.5 oz. water

.5 oz total of: lavender, peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils (using equal amounts of each to equal .5 oz.)

@RevolutionSoap your usage rate of 1 oz PPO is fine. You don't have to use the maximum safe amount, sometimes the IFRA max is 100% actually, it just means it is safe in the skin up to that amount. You do want to look at those numbers in the even the maximum amount is higher than what you were planning to use (some FO's have a 1% max usage rate in soap, for example.)
