    Royal jelly in face oil

    I wanted to make a face oil/serum including rose hip oil, primrose oil, vitamin e, essential oil blend and maybe couple others. Would adding royal jelly be ok?

    False trace or just too much water?

    Hi everyone. I'm new to making cp soaps, so bare with me :). I made a olive oil-heavy recipe and after almost 24 hours it is still thick pudding (no oil separation however). I did use full water which I've never done previously and should know better not to do that with 60% oo. I was trying...
