I think they are the same.

I've been using rice flour and there is a richer feel in the lather.

Thank you so much.8-) SoapPoopette

Thanks fellow soapers I thank you soapers for all of your suggestions in every avenue of soaping there is. Because of you all, I love HP. I follow similar format to Crombie. 3%SL and full liquid-38%. Takes same amount of time to harden with my recipe; it is worth a try. HTH SoapPoopette8-)

Another good source is PURE FRAGRANCE OILS(a.k.a SOUTHERN GARDEN SCENTS). Very strong and complex. SoapPoopette

I just soaped Brambleberry's BRV a couple of weeks ago and had no discoloration at all. Not even acceleration; plenty of time to play. Also I soap with coconut cream but still had no discoloring. SoapPoopette;-)

Yes you can definitely pick up the anise; some licorice too but don't give up on it right away. I didn't think I would like it from the description or OOB but I was pleasantly surprised once I put it in soap. It really smells nice. HTH SoapPoopette 8)

The Absinthe is quite a different scent but I really like it. I think it is one of those fragrances that just grows on you. It is a hard scent to describe but overall, I would keep plenty of this on hand. No A and the discoloration is very minimal (beige or a tiny bit darker). SoapPoopette 8)

Another HUGE recommendation for Oregon Trails Watermelon Patch. All watermelon and no candy. SoapPoopette 8)

Their Green Tea & Willow, Blue Bonnet, Hawaiian Pikaki, Aloe, Spicy Apples & Peaches and Mediterranean Olive were really nice to me along with the other ones previously mentioned. HTH :) SoapPoopette 8)

Hi Christina, You should have no problem with the coconut milk; I've used it before and had really nice bars with creamy lather. The GV Shortening you bought is good too. On SoapCalc, under the list of oils, you will see one listed that says: -WalMart GV Shortening That is the one I...

They do offer sample packs. Scroll all the way down on the home page and you will see it; I do believe you can get 6-2oz samples for 23.50. Their scents are really nice. :) SoapPoopette 8)

I use lard for my facial bars and have not experienced any clogged pores. It is so mild/gentle on my skin and it leaves my face feeling clean and smooth. I hope you like it too. SoapPoopette 8)

I have that happen to me a lot as well. I use coconut milk and coconut cream. Haven't figured out why but the good thing is that it does fade away and the bars look normal. SoapPoopette 8)

I use 10-20% at the most. Other oils I combine it with are olive, palm, shea butter, castor, pko, and even lard. 8)
