@not_ally where did you get your benzoin? My benzoin from New Directions just smell smoky and leather-like instead of sweet. Sorry, just saw that you link to the Benzoin powder.

This is great news, @cmzaha! I am glad to hear your daughter is getting better.

Turns out it was bankruptcy. Now I see deceit from Valerie, she could have notified her clients and SMEs that depended on her. Glad I gave her the benefit of the doubt and the fragrances are available at AFI (who was the supplier) and Maple Street Candle...

Can we not spam or make this thread about vultures! I am glad you love vultures, but that is not what this thread is about, let’s keep on topic. ETA: Thank you!😊

I understand your point of view as a business owner. You have a business to run after all. However, I got several emails from 1617 in December notifying that they are moving warehouses, and they offered a lot of discounts on their inventory around this time, basically prompting makers to stock...

I can’t even imagine what you must have gone through dealing with your daughter’s health issues and a health system that doesn’t care whether you live or die as long as they get paid.

I am sure some of you that shop with 1617 would have received with an email that they closed shop abruptly yesterday. No fore warning, no notice. With the amount of time and money Valerie must have invested in the business, I don't believe she would make made that kind of decision without...

I would use it with a very low superfat and use the soaps.

This is such great news! I pray she regains her strength and continue to feel better.

Welcome back! I have wondered about you and silently hoped you are well. Good to have you back.

No, I haven’t. I use BB’s Vetyver FO.

CC Frankincense and Myrrh is great, it sticks forever and is the best F&M around. Salt water taffy from Rustic Escentual is rubbish in soap, fades to nothing but absolutely delicious in lotion and body oils. My daughters love it. Pink Grapefruit, Oakmoss, Oakmoss and Sandalwood from CC are...

It depends. What’s your current lye to water ratio for hp? What oils are you currently using and at what percentage? Even how old your oils are will affect your time to trace.

Yikes! I checked out like an hour ago! Thank you so much for letting me know. I really appreciate it!

Bumping this just in case it was missed by Canadian soapers or anyone in the US that orders from Voyageur Soap and Candle Red Cedarwood Fragrance Oil

Hello soapers! Have anyone used this FO from Voyageur in soap? Red Cedarwood Fragrance Oil Did it stick for you? What specie of Cedarwood does it smell like in soap? From the reviews, it morphed from being perfumy to woodsy but what kind? I am looking for a Cedarwood fragrance oil to...

I dissolve my Oakmoss absolute in Lavender Essential oil, and then add that to my EO blends. No jojoba needed. I find the Oakmoss overpowers the lavender. I have done 50/50 Oakmoss and Lavender. I like this blend in soap by itself as well.

I am wondering too because my Lemon Eucalyptus smells like minty lemon.

Cold pressed is what you want, not virgin coconut because that could be heat processed as well. https://www.costco.ca/kirkland-signature-organic-virgin-coconut-oil%2c-2.3-kg.product.100416822.html

They have always been my go-to for patchouli, but I tried their Bulgarian lavender and it has a musty after note to me. I heard their natural blend is great, just wondering if it sticks.
