    Nature's Garden

    The Perfect Man is divine! Soaps well, but others have said it discolors to a strange pinkish tone. Can't say as I colored my batch a greyish color. I love this one.

    Can't figure out painted / layered / colored soap tops..

    It's my understanding that using more hard oils like coconut and palm and not gelling (the combination of these two things) can lead to more ash. I almost always gel so I can't speak from experience. Although I once used a FO that caused tons of ash and no matter how many times I cleaned it...

    IFRA Maximum Use Level:

    It could have nothing to do with the amount you are using. Unfortunately, some EOs and FOs just don't hold up in CP. They just fade. You might check the scent review board to see if others have had the same issues. http://soapscentreview.obisoap.ca/index ... 4066c6c014

    tahiatian village/peak

    I ordered just a 1 oz sample of this and wish I had gotten more. I keep sniffing the bottle. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. Probably a body spray and a lotion stick. Maybe some wax tarts with the rest. How does it soap?

    Yikes, there are horrid looking things in my soap! Help me!

    Provided it doesn't zap, my guess would be some air bubbles and a bit of ash. No zap, no worries. You might try using some rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth to remove it.

    discoloration / Frosted Pinecone

    Sometimes FOs with spices in them can also discolor. At least that's my understanding.

    If you utilize both CP and HP methods,

    I find you are right in the short term. My HP is much bubblier (is that a word?) than the CP after a normal 4 week cure. However, after several months, my CP is no different than the HP. I think that it just proves how much a long cure really benefits CP.

    BEER SOAP help

    No it won't cause your soap to go bad. The only thing I have found not boiling out the alcohol causes is more acceleration.
