fragrance oil

A while ago there was this amazing post from SQ: How to use every last drop of fragrance oil so i thought I would like to share it with you (this is a summary of what the post was about) : Take your nearly empty fragrance oil bottle and pour bath salts through a funnel into the bottle. When...

Hello, I always seem to have to make everything unscented for my home since we are sensitive. Has anyone found an alternative to give some kind of scent to the product. In creams or lotions= I am sick of the raw shea butter and coconut scent.. I have used Lavender eo's and Chamomile but thought...

Hi All, Peak is having a shipping sale promo code LABORDAY15 Do you have any recommendations for fo for cp soap?

Hey guys, I routinely add SL to my soaps b/c I like to cut fast and it is supposed to boost lather a little. I recently came across a long thread on Dish about ingredients that people had tried and stopped using/continued to use, and several mentioned discontinuing use of SL b/c it lessened...

Anyone used the Daisy type by Nature's Garden? It doesn't get very good reviews for sticking in cp soap on the website. I see that Daystar also offers one, but it's expensive. I have a co-worker who is really begging me to try Daisy. SSRB only had 2 reviews. Thanks!

Can I use a "eau de toilette" for my fragrance in my melt and pour? I have a bottle that I love and would love to be able to use it instead of my other oils.

Hello! I have a question about Fragrance Oils. I know the rule of thumb is 1oz PPO. But I've also seen mention of things like cinnamon being irritating (I think this was FO and not just EO but I could be mistaken). What about lotions and creams? Is it just irritation that I'm looking out for...

I'm so happy I found you all! I'm a newbie and last night I added way too much fragrance oil to my small batch. I misread teaspoon for tablespoon:thumbdown: So now I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to salvage this batch because I really hate to see it go to waste.

I have been making soap for two years and have never had this happen!! I had a huge order for my basic soap recipe with honey added and a specific fragrance oil...After 6 weeks of curing the soap still has a slight sticky feel!! Is this a problem??? Why would this have happened?

I've found that some EO's are less expensive than FO's which I kind of find fascinating. From what I understand, EO's are naturally extracted from plants, while FO's are strictly for scent having no botanical/medicinal values. I'm really confused as to what EO's to but when it comes to...

Hi, All! Looking at creating roll-on perfume oil, wondering about usage rates. The company I buy the bulk of my FO's from, BB, doesn't have a fragrance calculator for Perfume specifically, but I would guess the next best thing would be the rates for lotion at 0.2 oz/ppo, however I find it's...

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good dilution rate for essential oils in a carrier oil. Say for instance if I have my EOs of lemon, sweet orange, and patchouli, what rate would I dilute it at to make it any easier to handle FO so to speak. I got a lot of inspiration from a woman here...

Aussie soapers, pls help.. best FO supplier Any favorite supplier for FO to suggest? I like strong scents, and have tried quite a few FOs from different suppliers with mixed results. TIA :)

Hey all! I am new here and new to soap making in general. I've only been doing it for little over a month. I've bought a couple of books, and I have had great success with simple recipes. However, I decided I wanted to start playing with color and scent and I've run into the mother of all...

Hi Soapers! I'm looking for excellent sources to purchase bulk fragrance oils directly from the manufacturer. So 25 lb. quanitites or more. Does anyone have recommendations? I know of Agilex in NJ, but I need a couple others as well. Thanks!!!!!!

I've become a little bit jealous of some competitors whose soap seems to just lock in the fragrance so nicely. I've notice that they are mostly using spice or flower type scents, while I'm using things like chocolate and citrus. However, it doesn't seem to matter whether I use 3 Tps or 15, the...

Hello guys I posted this in a post with a different title and figured since this helps me choose Id help others by posting reviews on BrambleBerrys FO (BB) & Natures Gardens FO (NG)..... BrambleBerry FO: Coconut Lemongrass (love,love love & so does everyone else) Cucumber Melon Chipotle Caramel...

Hello everyone :) I was wondering if anyone has ever bought Yuzu F.O? If so what do you think of it? What is the go 2 place to buy it? Whats the best scents to pair w/it? Is Yuzu an EO or FO or is it an EO that you can get in a FO for a lower price choice? Thanks for any info. It sounds so...

Hello all! I had my first seize today when I added a eucalyptus mint FO I'd never tried before (from Bulk Apothecary, in case anyone is wondering). I wonder if anyone had any tips or tricks for avoiding seize in the future? Specifically, I came across one blog post that said they added...

I am looking for a Lush Snowcake Dupe fragrance oil which I will be using in CP soap. I have tried the almond fragrance oil from Nature's Garden, but it has a heavy cherry note that is very strong and overpowering. Snowcake is like marzipan or almond icing. Anyone know of a good one and where I...
