    New Directions Aromatics 15% sitewide sale

    The reviews on google reflected some of my own frustration. I do hope it is a blip. It has been my prime supporter now for a year

    New Directions Aromatics 15% sitewide sale

    There have been recent issues at New Directions Aromatics. I still order from them but be aware there have been shipping delays and customer service issues. I am hoping they are passed that but until we know for sure it’s a good idea to have a back up.

    hp pt volcano

    I only make Hot Process soap now but I used to make cold process soap. I have not noticed any differences in lather, texture or quality. Look, yes - sometimes. I can make lovely hot process soap but it isn’t as artistic. I have read people find significant differences and people who don’t. I...

    FOs - Scent Memory Fragrance

    I sniffed this at HQ with a group of 12 who voted on next releases. It’s very good. I have some of the older version which I love. I mix it with stiff drink and a smoke. I call it Devil’s Cut. If you’d like 16 oz I would be happy to ship you some for the cost of shipping. Or just wait for the...

    100% beef tallow soap

    Not at all. Even my unscented soap with neem is without the scent of neem. It’s a fallacy to believe neem oil makes neem smelling soap

    100% beef tallow soap

    I use 1% ppo sugar and salt plus honey, beer or pine rosin powder. And 3% citric acid because we are a hard water area. The bars are amazing in use and for the olive oil soap the lather is not slimy at all. I can unmold in half a day

    100% beef tallow soap

    I made a 85%/15% tallow/neem oil 95%/5% sodium/potassium and the soap is incredible. I live in hard water country and I don’t have any problems.

    Co-op supply buying

    If you live near a city that has a restaurant depot or restaurant supply store. I get wholesale prices on lard, evoo, coconut oil as well as scales and other helpful stuff. The food is often fresher so you can buy for personal consumption. No annual fee. Just a business and a website
