Lime Cilantro

[NancyRogers]

Lyn, I love it! I'm so glad to hear that you like this FO. I have some on the way to me now. DH has asked for some lime soap and this one did get good reviews. How does it behave in CP?

 

[Lynnz]

Nancy this behaves really well a pleasure to soap with, I always soap at room temp and dont do water discounts so guess this helps as well. Relle I believe Cilantro is a herb of some description have never heard of it or smelt it before :0)
Oh I still want to come for a holiday............One day and I will be sure to meet up with some Soapmaking forum soaper for a good ole soaping session for sure :0) How fun would that be!!!!!! Looking for beds all over the USA LOL :0)
Cthylla this is a colourant I purchased here in Aussie land at Aussie soap supplies who will ship international I believe they have some awesome colours :0).
Traceyann I am looking forward to the Aussie swap still haven't decided on a fragrance yet but have some new colourants coming that I think will match the Autumn theme beautifully :0). I must go checkout the postings for that one been a bit busy over the last few days and haven't makde it over to check out the latest happenings :0)

Was that a liquid colourant? Oxides are a bit hit and miss so I'd like to try something a bit easier to keep consistency with.

Cilantro refers to the leaves of the coriander plant ... very common in Australia ... where the whole plant (not just the seed) is referred to as coriander.

I love the smell of both coriander and lime ... although not easy to imagine them together ... maybe I need a trip up your way Lyn, so I can check them out ... lol!

I have used Natures Gardens oils for a while now in candles but not in soap

Lyn who do you buy your Natures Gardens oils from?

Dragonkaz your always welcome :0) I am doing a market on the 21st on the coast :0) Thanks for sharing the info about the Cilantro with us I purchase the NG oils for the USA it is only recently that I started really using them and just for candles but read so many good reviews with this one that I thought I would give it a go. Just made a pillar candles with the dragons blood from there and liking that as well, have had a request to soap it so think I will give it a go :0)
NancyR I think you will be happy with this oil it is smelling really nice and not weak on it either at 1oz per pound.

Lyn I recently soaped Dragons' Blood from an aussie supplier ... and the smell is divine! It's really sticking to my CP soap ... and for a Dragon lover ... I'm absolutely thrilled with it!

 

[Lynnz]

I have to admit it wasn't a fragrance I had ever really thought of trying until it was requested by a very good customer of mine for her son who is crazy about this fragrance and since making it she has asked about soap and so have lots of others. I would love to do a soap in simiilar colours, black isn't a problem and thought maybe red oxide with a mix of brown? would be kind of cool to sell the pillars and soap as sets

[soapbuddy]

That's a cool pillar! I bet a mixture of red and brown oxide would give you that color.

 

[Relle]

I have some dragons blood here, I don't know if I like it or not. I was thinking of a redy/brown and a swirl of green in it. I'm trying to picture what goes with that scent and name. :? Not sure if those colours will turn out murky or not.

 

[Dragonkaz]

The dragons blood I've used has turned my soap the most gorgeus deep golden brown. I added balls of black ... and balls of what looked reddish, but now looks more pink, plus a few swirls of gold mica. The gold looks great with the golden brown ... not so sure about the balls.

I must share some photos ... and the smell is still divine!
