I have the same problem! I've read that palm kernel oil makes a pure white bar. I've never used it though...been thinking about getting some PKO when my reg palm runs out. You do have a great swirl there!
Pepper, those are beautiful!
I've tried OMH and did NOT like it.
Also tried Butt Naked...and it's one of my favorites. And I got Asian Sandlewood, also liked it.
I've used lots of FOs from NG, but not very many from other suppliers. So, I don't have much to compare.
Yeah...it seemed like the oils almost separated. I had the oils/water nicely blended before I added the FO. I had to SB for quite a while before I got a light trace. I was like "oh crap"...but, it finally mixed back together. My FO was from NG.
