Thank you. Yes it is alot of citrus but that was just what was on hand and I am in a mood. I understand the top, middle, base notes just wondering if anyone could suggest X,Y,Z combo that would smell great together with these limited smells. I have made CP soap with my ylang and it smelled...

Hi all. I am gonna try to make perfume today but I am unsure of what to use. I dont have alot of oil so I dont want to just experiment haphazardly. Here is what I have laying around before my next shipment comes from BB. I think it is walking over: Bergamot EO Pink Grapefruit EO Cubea...

If you don't mind - where did you get the frangipani scent? That is my favorite tree (I have 7 currently) and they smell amazing - I was searching for this scent and I think BB has it. Your soaps are GORGEOUS!!

I am NO expert as I have made one batch but it was crystal clear and smooth BEFORE I destroyed it with too much FO. I used glycerin and superfatted and cooked in the crockpot and did not have to neutralize it. I got a $2 bottle of phenolphthalein from a pool supply store that will last an...

And they are "right side" up in my phone, so unless you can tell me how to fix it then I guess we are all tilting our heads sideways :)

Thanks - they were just uploaded from my phone. I am no expert either ,clearly, but if you try holding your head slightly to the left - you can see them. j/k. I thought it wouldn't be too hard to figure out that I clearly did something wrong with my soap from a side ways picture. I will try to...

My goodness I love you all! My grandmother cooked with lard in EVERY meal she made. It was in a big white 5 gallon bucket with a red pig on it. She lived to be 95 yrs old and died of skin cancer. Do not be afraid of the lard - it makes the most amazing buttermilk biscuits you will ever eat. Who...

Thanks everyone! I thought I had written this thread then I "lost" it and couldnt find it where I thought it should be. Lol. I am trying to stay away from anything palm oil cause I like orangutans lol ( I know there are sustainable ones but then I have to pay shipping yadda yadda ) so I am happy...

I got the list from BB and was shocked that so many FO are phthalate free! Woo hoo.

Yes I did! Yikes and it is gagging me That is a great idea - I will do that. I need to cook it a little to thicken it up some so I may pour this one and one I havent scented together. I think I may be giving away a bottle of basil soon. On the other hand - the lemon verbena one I calculated...

So I was looking at the lard at WM and it has BHA and citric acid in it. Is thus okay for cp soap? I was trying to get as much supplies locally as I can. Or is there somewhere else to get lard? I didnt try Publix yet so dont know what they carry. And the best place for tallow? Thanks!

Oh that list would be wonderful! I just *assumed* ( now you know what that means) that if it were phthalate free that they would advertise that fact everywhere. I usually really try to avoid synthetic fragrances but I LOATHE lavender, tea tree and patchouli so I am severely limited in EO that...

Oh no bodhi just popped my bubble!! Lol. I agree though, I wouldn't really mind one way or the other but halfway is no good. On a small update - I took the second jar, *accurately* weighed it, warmed it back up on the stove and correctly added 0.4 ounces (2%) to that jar of Lemon Verbena FO from...

Mmmmm maybe I will try lemongrass. It is my favorite so I use it alot ... I was trying to branch out lol. But I am happy to say that it is actually clearing up from the bottom up! I am so happy. Happy happy happy! Patience is not my strongest virtue

It was hot and not at room temp. I dont really mind the cloudy just wondered if I had done somthing really wrong. I only added it to one of the 3 bottles. So I will sit and see what happens. Too much sitting and waiting with these soap products haha. Maybe I will warm up one of the other bottles...
