That's probly how I would do it. Not saying it'll behave and all though.

Sometimes checking on the Review Board doesn't help. I've done that and gotten ones I just didn't agree with other soapers about. The Scent Forum I also check but sometimes those reviews are even less helpful. One person just said "Wow!" and that was it. No details, no particulars, not even...

Thank you so much IrishLass for your help! Sorry it took me so long to answer, computer down. Can't wait to try this scent with milk for a nice, creamy sea soap. :D

I'm very selective and I don't find that the raves I hear about a lot of these suppliers necessarily hold true for me. I have been treated well by Scent Shack all along, though they are really getting expensive. And some of their scents are kind of light. I could hardly smell the Honeysuckle...

Can anyone tell me if this fo is too reactive with lye to soap with goat milk? I had a request for goat milk ocean soap and this is the only sea fragrance I have that I heard doesn't seize or accelerate or rice. Has anyone had experience with it?

The Damascus Rose was awful to me. Way too green and strong. I told her there at OT that I wanted a sweet, fresh rose and this isn't. Is old lady-ish.

deleted. My own recipe will forever remain a mystery to those who didn't read it, I guess. Sorry about that! :lol:

If you mixed your lye well and it all dissolved (harder to see in milk than water), melted all your oils and soaped them when they were still melted, and stick blended, it's still a mystery to me as to why you had these spots. Even if you didn't totally premelt and stir your palm oil or gell...

Oh, gosh, I'm sorry. What timing for your soap but I'm glad he was okay.

I've never had flecks and cloudy spots from oils unless I didn't insulate and gell didn't happen completely enough. Also don't often stir my palm oil before using. But I'm convinced that some oils are more prone to speckled and streaked ash with certain ess oils and fragrances, but not...

Bramble Berry's Sensuous Sandalwood, spelled with an "al" just so you know (for your labels or whatever you might have the name of it on).

I agree with scotsoap. I make them and never add anything but the salts and the fragrance and even oat and milk powders. No mold happens because there is no water and the pkging is sealed to keep out moisture. I prefer to steer clear of preservatives whenever I can and not have to spend...

I got flecks when I was using that troublesome lye I bought. So glad I only bought two lbs of it! Where there were a few tiny white spots I took a knife and dug them out and "spackled" the holes in with extra soap from the same batch's scraps. But I always prefer lye that dissolves...

Yeah! I don't know that you can't beat that price with any other oil except maybe canola. And not even shortening comes close. In fact, shortening has really gone up, not just Crisco but the more generic brands, too.
