As a former EO blender, I recognize that bit of cedarwood in there to give that blend depth. If you don't mind my asking, do you prefer Atlas or Virginia?45 45 10 rosemary lemongrass cedarwood essential oils
Yes, bass notes are important, doncha know! I use Virginia. Quite frankly, I haven't smelled Atlas, it's out of my budget, at least on the Bramble Berry site.As a former EO blender, I recognize that bit of cedarwood in there to give that blend depth.

12 should be good. I use 20% in mine but it can get tricky. My best advice; Don't stick blend, hand blend. And if it feels like it's starting to stiffen up, even a little, it's time to pour if you don't want to glop it in the mold. It doesn't need a lot, just enough to get everything mixed. I don't even look for trace. It sounds crazy but it's a fine line between not mixed enough and soap on a stick. It usually only takes a few minutes at most after adding lye. @Zing said he cooled the lye overnight and got 14 minutes of stir time. I think I'll try that next time. I'm lucky to get 2 or 3 minutes.I’m going to the market to purchase some Pine Tar to make Lard/Pine Tar soap for my Mama. She has Psoriasis and I am hoping it will help. I’m not scenting it, and adding Pine Tar at 12%. For those of you that are experts in Pine Tar soap, does this sound like a good amount to add?
I always have part of water content as frozen and rarely need an ice bath.Jumping on the oatmilk soap train by preparing my own for soaping either tonight or tomorrow. I'm also freezing some distilled water into cubes. Could using frozen distilled water eliminate the use of an ice bath?
