Sweet or not so sweet almond oil

[chrisofcups]

Saturday is soap day around our house. I was wondering if some can tell me if there is any difference between sweet almond oil and Spectrum brand almond oil (no sweet on the label). I ran out of the sweet stuff putting together my first batch of soap with colourant, fragrance and hopefully swirls (no small task!). I finished off with normal almond hoping soap calc doesn't know any different.

Thanks!

Thanks for confirming. This is good to know because I paid about a third of the price for it compared to a brand I had that had "sweet" on the label. Who needs sweet soap anyway, it's not like we'll be eating it..that is... unless we have been very bad...

LOL. Sweet is in contract with Bitter. Bitter almond is different, and toxic (think cyanide). But you aren't likely to come across bitter almonds or their oil so don't worry about it.
