    A little too harsh

    I usually use 25% coconut oil with an 8% super fat. That is fine for my skin and most who use it. So if you want to stay at 25% try increasing your super fat a bit.

    Sunflower Oil

    High oleic sunflower is great. Use it in place of some or all of your olive oil.

    So as Soapers; is Palm oil vegan?

    The palm oil question is complex. I consider it vegan. For those who eschew palm oil for its environmental impact, I think it hypocritical to not look critically at the impact of the production of other vegetable oils. For example soy (oil and wax). And on and on it could go. Just so happens...

    Wholesale Supplies Plus - need to gripe

    Southern Scentsations carries Crafters Choice butters, oils, bases etc, but not fragrances. I do not believe they distribute fragrances anywhere but WSP.

    Coffee fragrance in soap

    I think the dicolor goes well with coffee soap. I like WSP espresso for a good coffee FO.

    Natural preservative?

    I think that wouldn't hurt it, but it's already pretty viscous and refrigeration might make it less fluid.

    Pumpkin Seed Oil?

    Have used at 5-7% with no issues. I also use ROE in my oils.

    Should I use a heating pad?

    I use a heating pad with an auto shut off feature. I usually put it on high and reset it a few times until I'm comfortable the soap is gelling. I cover with a towel also. In my opinion, if the soap overheats, it was going to overheat anyway, it won't be caused by using a heating pad, although...

    I love grapefruit and mint! I use grapefruit fragrance though, instead of EO.

    Need some FO recommendations

    I love BB champagne, but I also have WSP champagne kisses and it is a little less sweet with that sharpness you are probably looking for. Sea minerals from Aztec is really nice, but I haven't a soaped it yet. A thousand wishes from Aztec might fit the bill for your perfume type. It's a bbw...

    Bath Bomb Questions

    I use polysorbate 80 at half the amount of my oil. So in your case 2.5 tablespoons. (Side rant - why are ALL bb recipes in cups and tablespoons? I want to convert everyone to weight!) Idk about mr bubble, but personally I would skip it. I use slsa in a small amount and it does slow down the...

    Labcolor/Lakes/Dyes Sampler?

    Yes! TKB Trading has both a liquid lake and powder lake sampler. I bought the liquid lakes. I think they might have a dye sampler too.
