Such great responses... I appreciate everyone's help so much. I actually notice with both EO's and Fragrance oils sensitive skin. >Not so much in soap. My Son is asthmatic so i am always doing unscented as he deals with the eczema so I was really hoping for something that we just don't have to...

Hello, I always seem to have to make everything unscented for my home since we are sensitive. Has anyone found an alternative to give some kind of scent to the product. In creams or lotions= I am sick of the raw shea butter and coconut scent.. I have used Lavender eo's and Chamomile but thought...

hmm never tried canola. i guess i just stick to the basics.. olive, coconut, and palm.. i wouldn't mind trying though if i knew which were good. thanks.

Hello, Thanks everyone. I do buy from Soapers Choice. I think it was just me because I did a few too many... I guess it was the cheapest way but i think i would like to try rice bran oil...Thanks again.

thanks.. was just checking if there was a cheaper way of doing it.. Guess it's the best way. It seems to give the best bar.

Okay so I am making soaps for my friend's baby shower but when I keep buying all these same oils everytime it seems so expensive. I have to make 60 and using 4 pound loaves. I have been buying Olive Oil, Palm Oil, and Coconut Oil for the mail oils. Is there any other combination to buy for a...
