NS Mad about Mint

[AAShillito]

Just a heads up NS website said no acceleration in cp but I had almost soap on a stick 30 min ago. Recipe oo, co, po, castor

Hmmm...I've used it and had no acceleration problems. I wonder what happened.

 

[AAShillito]

Must have angered the soap gods.....

I know! I love the spearmint undertones

I haven't had issues with that FO but it's not one I like either. I need the mint EOs,sadly

I've found with their fragrance oils you need to really look at the testing beforehand, they normally use a very fluid recipe with full water and low temps.

Ah I think you solved this! I have had hardening issues with everything lately so I tried a small water discount with my normal recipe. I bet that's what did it! Thank you!

Your welcome! I know this because it happened to me as well

Cat&Oak, this is my "Glacier Frost" plop and glop with the Mad about Mint

Huh. I used that FO once & called it "Strugglemint" b/c it didn't want to trace at all. Imagine salt bars refusing to trace, it was bizarre. I thought the scent was okay, but I've since decided I like BB's Moroccan Mint much better.

I have had trouble with every mint EO and FO I have purchased in the last 2 years. And they are from many different suppliers. I don't know why, but I have resorted to using mints in only single color soaps with huge water discounts, soaping with no sugars, and right at room temperature to help to avoid plop and pray. I sprinkle micas or texture the tops to give them some visual oomph.

Have you tried Wild Mint and Ivy from MMS? It smells wonderful and fresh and it soaped like a dream for me. I had multiple greens swirled in the white and it was fine.

I love that! Great job! I think the acceleration adds to the glacier look
