Hi From Cambridge, UK.

[Cambridgearomatherapy]

Hi,
I am an aromatherapist. I have had a few goes at soap making, once on a course and a couple of goes making lye from wood ash with mixed results.

I also regularly make a skin balm using olive oil essential oils and wax from my own bees. I am gearing up to have another go at soap making, probably using wax from my bees.

Welcome aboard Dave!

I saw your comments on quince peel infusion - I would love to hear how you go extracting scent this way

Thank you for the welcome messages. For culinary use I have made basil infused oil and chilli oil in the past, so this is a new venture for me.

Hi welcome!
Did you know you have thesoapkitchen in the uk as a seller?
They have so many awsome products,I really want to order there soon

About the beeswax,you could use it for lipbalms and soap and lotion
I myself don't like it because of the cleaning is hard
Bud you can also use your honey in your soap!!
add it in after trace...read about it...it will speed up trace and get your soap hot so inform yourself about it first

Thanks for the welcome messages. I already use the beeswax for balms. for balms I find the easiest way to clean the wax is melt it into the oil first and then filter through cotton cloth. Much easier than cleaning the wax first!
