    New Directions Aromatics 15% sitewide sale

    The reviews on google reflected some of my own frustration. I do hope it is a blip. It has been my prime supporter now for a year

    New Directions Aromatics 15% sitewide sale

    When NDA did communicate it was a new management software. I do hope it is a blip.

    New Directions Aromatics 15% sitewide sale

    There have been recent issues at New Directions Aromatics. I still order from them but be aware there have been shipping delays and customer service issues. I am hoping they are passed that but until we know for sure it’s a good idea to have a back up.

    hp pt volcano

    I only make Hot Process soap now but I used to make cold process soap. I have not noticed any differences in lather, texture or quality. Look, yes - sometimes. I can make lovely hot process soap but it isn’t as artistic. I have read people find significant differences and people who don’t. I...

    FOs - Scent Memory Fragrance

    I sniffed this at HQ with a group of 12 who voted on next releases. It’s very good. I have some of the older version which I love. I mix it with stiff drink and a smoke. I call it Devil’s Cut. If you’d like 16 oz I would be happy to ship you some for the cost of shipping. Or just wait for the...

    100% beef tallow soap

    Not at all. Even my unscented soap with neem is without the scent of neem. It’s a fallacy to believe neem oil makes neem smelling soap

    100% beef tallow soap

    Lather for this 85% evoo/15% neem oil dual lye soap is amazing even with cold water using our hard water. No slime Just an amazing workaround for a single ingredient soap.

    100% beef tallow soap

    I make dual lye shave soap 40/60 potassium/sodium. It isn’t soft at all.

    100% beef tallow soap

    I use 1% ppo sugar and salt plus honey, beer or pine rosin powder. And 3% citric acid because we are a hard water area. The bars are amazing in use and for the olive oil soap the lather is not slimy at all. I can unmold in half a day

    100% beef tallow soap

    I made a 85%/15% tallow/neem oil 95%/5% sodium/potassium and the soap is incredible. I live in hard water country and I don’t have any problems. I always add beer powder, honey powder or pine rosin powder to up the lather but it’s amazing. It made the same version in a lard/neem recipe, olive...
