Infusing in your oils is fun. I also incorporate dried herbs into batter. I have sprinkled on top and haven't had a bit of problem with mold from humidity. That includes when I was newer at making soap and cured in a bathroom closet where humidity was ridiculously high (got DOS like crazy though!).
You can totally soap in the summer! I do most of my stuff in the garage (in FL heat) and just bring it indoors after I have molded. If I don't want a gel I wait until the kids go to bed and soap inside so I can take the mold directly from the freezer and put it right back in.
I'm glad that people seem to like these and have very few issues. Have looked at them a few times but haven't been able to pull the trigger on buying. I did look into plexiglass or HDPE to make my own molds and it was so expensive that it wasn't worth it. That said, I do love the 2 HDPE molds...
Thanks again. All very interesting reading. His doctor specifically recommended sandalwood....to which I laughed and had her look up the latest prices on the stuff. Lol! So she suggested some others.
Anyone know if ED's EOs are considered "therapeutic grade"? I know that SMR claims theirs are. I usually order from ED simply because the shipping is faster since I'm in FL (and I like their EOs a bit better than SMR too).
My son's doctor has recommended a few different EO/Carrier oil blends...
