@AliOop and @DeeAnna I knew there had to be an answer to that!! No bagel expert here. Just always thought my mouth gets sore when I eat pretzels because they've been lye dipped!

You apparently are looking to do it right! :) I make perfectly good Cinnamon raisin bagels without dipping them. Do our stomachs really need lye?

I should have said "generally " in "my experience" I am not able to do it. Yes I also have an Old Spice one. I would have no idea how to do a baby powder one. Good for you!

I am not at all familiar with the scents you describe, but I will say it's nearly impossible to use E.O.s to recreate a fragrance. You may come up with something you like but it won't be identical to a certain water fragrance.

Oh you poor thing! I have hypoglycemia but FOs don't cause it to drop! When I first started to make soap 19 years ago, there was an essential oil blend I used that made me feel sick. I had to go outside. It doesn't bother me at all now.

I can tolerate Georgia Peach, Blood Orange and Meyer Lemon, all from WSP. But keep in mind that everyone's nose and head are different.

Yes I do but not to the extreme that it seems you do. I can get through making the soap and then take it to my cousin's house to cure. Only rarely has an essential oil blend done that. I know exactly what you mean by that "lingering synthetic backnote."

Thanks so much everyone!! @Saponificarian lives in Canada and has offered.

Thanks for checking @Misschief

That changed a long time ago. But thank you for trying

I have a friend living in British Columbia who is looking for a coconut free soap for her little girl. Mine all have coconut oil in. Does anyone here make a soap without who would ship? She's rather in a hurry!

Leave it to me to get things wrong. I misread your reply to mean you liked the colour in the second one. Yes I would like pink Bayou in the round one too!

Not understanding this. On my screen the colours are identical

So you see @MelissaG that whichever one you go with is perfectly fine...I still like the round one...it's just another bubble.

I like the round one!
