I'm going to put them on Freecycle less hassle. Thanks for your replies.

Thanks for the link, I never heard of them. I'm looking at a Bartlett (pear) and Basil FO on their website that sounds interesting too!

I'm looking at prices for lavender EO, and of course, they are a bit high. I am planning on making a lavender bath line to sell for fall and Christmas bazaars.... Will have soap, a sugar scrub and a bath salt. I'm wondering if I should go with a lavender FO instead of an EO. I normally use the...

If DragonQueenHHP wants it she can have it, just waiting for her to respond back.

If you want it I think I can Fed Ex ground it to you...I can find out what the cost would be...just send me your zip code and I'll get a quote from them and USPS. I got it from Majestic Mountain Sage.

I'm not sure I can send them through the mail except for ground maybe. I'll let you know if there are no takers.....

I have friends who are beekeepers and was approached as to making soap using bee pollen...they also want me to do soap with their beeswax and honey. I think it is a marketing ploy for their businesses. I bought some pollen to play around with. I've seen beauty creams with bee pollen. The pollen...

I have some bee pollen I bought and was wondering if anyone has ever used it in soap. Would anyone have a recipe to share?[/b]

I do. Are you near Woodbridge? I am out of town but on my way back. Will be home late today if you're interested let me know.

Thank you both for the info. I never thought about chilling the wood mold but what a great idea. I was afraid to put the mold in the refrig because of any heat raising the inside temp of the fridge, but I think I will try both and see what happens.

I bought some Apricot Freesia FO from Brambleberry and the usage chart says to work at low temperatures and do not let the soap gel as the heat will make it morph. What is the best way to avoid the gel stage? I have never put my soap into the freezer or refrigerator (afraid that any heat will...

Thanks for the suggestion. I will use it in the future. I don't think I will be making any more soap with this FO as I've now wasted over 8 lbs of oils and butters!

I mixed it in at light trace and I was using a stick blender, so I am pretty sure that it was mixed in completely. I got it from Majestic Mountain Sage.

It has to be my FO. The sunflower oil I used from Soaper's Choice was high oliec. I am very disappointed. The FO is fairly new and I try to keep all my oils cool and in the dark.
