Irishlass, I found a sub for TSW's Blue Sugar from Backwoods Fragrance They are a really nice company! It behaves exactly the same, with a very slight off-white D. I think it is even better than TSW's! Lovely, rich scent! And, their price on Blue Sugar is a lot less than TSW's.

Agreeing with pamielynn - Soapmaker has been a HUGE help in keeping track of my inventory, and letting me know exactly what my costs are. It's a lot of work getting it set up, but SO worth it!

You're welcome, Carolyn!

I used the Hawaiian Sandalwood from AHRE and I really like it. Woodsy, not powdery. Sticks well at .9 oz PPO. Can't say if it discolors, as I used Aussie Red Clay. Soaps beautifully with no A. I used to use BB's Sensuous Sandalwood, but I like AHRE's much better!

I've been using Kashoo for the past year and like it so far. I was using QB, but wanted something online that I could access with my iPad.

Beautiful soap! I use activated charcoal. It's super fine. Don't know if it's different than what's in the capsules, but my charcoal soap comes out very black at 1T PPO.

Just made a batch with TSW's Sugar Pumpkin Chai. Did accelerate a bit, but manageable. It's a heater, so insulate very lightly if at all. Smells just like pumpkin pie to me.

What IrishLass said. Hate those darn little stearic buggers! I use a fairly high amount of palm, so I have to soap warm.

If it is regular palm (not the homogenized "shortening" type), you need to melt it down, stir it well, and portion it out. The palm stearic has to be properly mixed/incorporated, or you are going to have issues with the final product. I used to use the organic palm that I had to melt down and...

Warm Vanilla Nutmeg from AH/RE is really nice in cp soap. There are no spice/nutmeg notes that I can detect. Just a warm, foody vanilla. It doesn't discolor to dark brown, either. More of a dark tan. It is my new go-to vanilla for soap. (Thanks to Judymoody's review on The Soap Scent...

I ordered Shea from them a while back. No problems.

Saffron & Spice and Patchouli Raspberry - both very nice! Saffron & Spice is a big seller for me.

Bella, are you using this in CP soap?

I used WSP for quite a few of my FO's, then they began playing around with their prices. Drove me nuts. I don't know of anyone who uses just one supplier for everything. Nature's Garden seems to be expanding their product line to include some soaping oils and other items. I use them for a...

Re: Looking for a good musky/leathery/tobacco FO - have a fa Egyptian Musk from Oregon Trails is very nice. No spice notes, just musk with a hint of vanilla to my nose. The scent gets richer as it cures. Discolors to a tan/brown. Oh, almost forgot - Santa's Pipe smells just like cherry...

Also, make sure you get the double refined Candelilla wax. I have heard the regular can go grainy. I get mine from Nature's Garden. :)

I don't think so. I've got my money on stearic streaks. :)

This!

You're very welcome! Also, give your new recipe some time. After a week or so, it can change in consistency. If you are able to get it out of the jar fairly easily, that is a good thing. :)
