Hi ya’ll so tell me temperatures and humidity plays a huge factor with the whipping correct ? Im having issues tonight. so I’ve been using the same formula and technique in the last year and the same thing keeps happening. Some days I can get it to whip up so nicely with the perfect...

Ya i hear ya. I Found another company that carries “Natural” FO so I’m looking to try that. Will be blending that with Lime EO in my lotions.

has anyone heard of coconut essential oil?! Is there such a thing? I’ve searched it up and there’s one company that carries it. It’s CO2 extracted. ?! But I’m so sure about it.

Hello fellow soap maker friends, so i have a question?“can i swap f/o and E/O?! For flavoured extract oils instead? Planning to go more natural but I still want to keep the sweet fruity and cake like scents.
