I don't see them either ... :confused:

@not_ally, you need to make a copy of that file, then it will be yours and you can edit it.

I hang mine outside for a week or two and it does lessen the smell.

I LOVE their Key Lime!

Vicky, so beautiful. May I ask where you purchased it? I did a search and vellum and tracing paper seem to each be different.

I bred and showed American Cocker Spaniels fed raw since 1998. No supplementation is necessary and I could go on and on about the benefits as I am quite passionate about it. I don't want to go off topic and I am a terrible writer so I will dig up some articles and send them to you privately.

I used to be a dog groomer and breeder and also fed a raw natural diet to my cat and dogs. Huge difference in heath with feeding what there ancestors ate. In my experience of helping many clients switch, if they are allergic to an ingredient in dry food, it does not affect them with raw.

I Love Star Anise with Lavender, a very small amount makes the Lav pop! You only do need a small amount, unless you want it to be noticed.

I totally agree - I look forward to more information on Sunflower Lecithin in bath bombs. I already use it to emulsify my salad dressing.

@TashaBird - I am a soap maker that wants to learn how to make square bath bombs. Just plain ones. The orange squares can actually be cut after dried? Is there a special kind of recipe I need?

"As I mentioned above, simple calculations done oil by oil are not going to give you safe usage levels for blends." Yes, of course. Some math for blends. :)

Thanks Mobjack, so for soap I just use Tisserands dermal percentage for my oils, and just forget the IFRA categories? I believe DeeAnn was trying to say the same thing and I just read it wrong, sorry DeeAnn.

Hopefully someone else pipes up then.

I don't know how to read the IFRA either. That is why the EO calc came along. EO calc does not have all the oils I am interested in. There must way to do this, other than use EO calc. I know that many many soapers use Tisserands book. Lynne

Thanks so much for the reply =) Yes, I understand all you said however dermal use does not explain how much to use in soap or other products? Is there a formula I must use please? Not the greatest at math, but I do have a calc.
