Thanks Darl! We are up the coast ( we being myself and three sisters) for my oldest sister's birthday. Took this pic while walking along the beach.

@Zany-in-CO try fitting the INCI for all that on your label! Sounds wonderful though.

Good question!
In my oatmeal, milk, and honey soap I use a wonderful Milk and Honey FO from a local shop, Zenith Supplies.
It has a sweet, soft, warm scent to it and everyone seems to love it. I'm not sure where Zenith acquires it, but it really is quite lovely. Would post a link, but they unfortunately don't have it listed on their website (I always visit directly or order by phone and pick up in person.)
Anyhow, point being a nice Milk and Honey fragrance could be a good option for you to try

For that soap I use WSP's original Oatmeal Milk & Honey. And yes, it has colloidal oatmeal, goat milk and honey in it. It's very popular.

Yum, I like this idea! I have benzoin and haven’t used it much.

What is Benzion

What is Benzion

Benzoin resin is obtained from the bark of several species of trees in the genus Styrax. It is a common ingredient in incense-making and perfumery because of its sweet vanilla-like aroma and fixative properties. It can be used to add a vanilla scent to soap.

Hey thank you for that. It has been a while since the forums. So please bare with me while I catch up. I guess it doesn’t turn the soap brown?

What is Benzion

In addition to the information above, there’s more information here: https://www.aromaweb.com/essential-oils/benzoin-absolute.asp including information on safe usage. As I recall, it did cause tan discoloration in the soap I made.

What is Benzion

Mmmmmm. Benzoin resinoid is delicious. It's not an essential oil or a fragrance oil. it smells very vanilla-y and chocolate-y. I like to use it in my hot cocoa themed soap and my orange/cocoa butter soap.

So please bare with me while I catch up.

Um, ahem, I'd prefer to stay dressed, thank you very much, which I think is best for all involved....

@Zing What did you end up doing? I'd love to hear and see!
Nevermind! I just saw it on your other thread and it's beautiful!
