Hello! I am thinking of buying Cedarwood EO, but not sure which to choose. NDA lists the following Cedarwood EO's: Atlas, Texas, Virginian, Himalayan, and Chinese. I just want to make a nice "Christmas Tree" soap. What do you suggest?
Thanks,
Carolyn
 
Then don't get the Virginia...that's what I ordered and it reminds me of a hampster cage. I'm not crazy about it. :roll:
 
Carolyn,
I was just thinking the same, I need to add a couple more eo's and need a cedarwood, a tea tree and a eucalyptus....all have multiple types from different countries. Been doing some reading but jeeezz...how do you chose?

Yup, how do u choose? Just curious about that.
 
I've used Virginia and Atlas; prefer the Atlas.

Eucalyptus radiata is a bit more mellow than globulus. It's also supposed to be an effective natural bug repellent.

ETA: NDA is great!
 
Thanks Judy....sorry Carolyn, don't mean to steal your thread...just wanted to add a couple more eo questions.
 
PHEW! Hamster cage - thanks for the heads up on that one, Debra! No Virginia for me thank you very much!
Judy: maybe I'll try the Atlas - thank you for replying! I like NDA because I can read all the reviews before I buy!
Scouter: I am always trying to learn more about eo's - so no problem! Ask away!
 
I buy and use Cedarwood Atlas - you can also look into Juniper Berry, Fir Needle and Pine Oil Scotch.....

ETA - I forgot about Spruce Oil as well...
 
I ordered some Cedar Deodara. It is AMAZING. More expensive than the other Cedars that I can order but in my opinion well worth it!

Would you do it? Use more of a particular EO than is recommended? Any other recommendations?

Do, reds and bright oranges bleed into white in M&P? If not, what base and colorant do you use? Is it the EO?
