@soapmaker it isn't made for oily skin. I think it just works for his skin 
keep a higher CO in your recipe will help dry it out

I haven't... I still have too many bars of Sea Salt & Driftwood to justify making another "oceany" soap. Not sure if I mentioned it but I did also pick up Sea Mist from Candle Science which I think might be closer to SS&D. I'm taking a step back from soapmaking for awhile - not like a HUGE step back, Imma still make soap, just stepping away from the business side of it, so I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to try soaping with it. Maybe when hubby's current salt bars are done curing, I plan to do another batch right away for him so they're properly cured (and he doesn't need to feel like he needs to hoard his current stash) and I'm out of his Ed Hardy dupe which I can only get at WSP and I refuse to pay their prices any more. He likes ocean scents so that would be a good choice for him. Either way - LMK if you want me to send you some FO.
spin from the Salty Mariner thread....
What do you have for a TRUE OCEAN / SEASIDE scent and from where did you get it.....how well did it behave?
I have gotten a few that just do NOT smell like a true ocean. slightly but no cigar.
I got Sun & Sand from NG and while it is an ok scent, it doesn't smell like a beach or Dunes or anything
I live in Massachusetts, we go to Cape Cod and Gloucester a lot, I know the smell of Ocean, good days and bad.
secretly I like the bad smell days, it is stronger lol
My favorite is Abalone and Sea from WSP.
Crafters Choice™ Abalone & Sea Fragrance Oil 314
Behaves well in CP.

Oooh! @Lin19687 I spotted on BCN yesterday that they have a version of Sea Salt & Driftwood at a mucho Bueno price compared to WSP, but no category 9 info yet.
Hopefully they get their cart/ordering glitch fixed soon and get this updated. I noticed a few of their NEW scents have no info available so maybe that's what is causing the glitch. They disabled the site to update listings. I received an email saying that they had removed about half of my wishlist due to no longer available, so it sounds like they've been doing some updates.

I use NG's China Rain and call it Ocean Breeze. I have it in Soap, Salt Bars and Sugar Scrubs. They all sell well for me.

@amd I saw that and due to no info I didn't want to play with it
Thanks @shunt2011 ! I think I will try it. How well did it behave for you ?

I was thinking of combining China Rain with Eucalyptus EO and see how that turns out. I've had a few requests for a White Barn dupe of Eucalyptus Rain and don't want to buy another FO. hahahaha just kidding, when have I ever NOT wanted to buy an FO?? [Never. The answer is never.] I was just curious if I could mix something "similar but different" to make it more my own brand scent.
And this, folks, is how you steer a thread off topic. Sorry @Lin19687 ! Please don't send me an 8lb box of soap ends in retribution.

Yep, that's the one I accidentally put in my cart and now can't get out. Which is ok because I can't checkout either because their website is hosed.@amd I saw that and due to no info I didn't want to play with it

I soap fairly cool. It has generally behaved well for me. A time or two it moved quicker than usual. Not sure why.@amd I saw that and due to no info I didn't want to play with it

Thanks, I put it in my wishlist for now.

I did too. They have several new ones that I would like to try, but I'll have to wait for the usage rates. I'm really hoping the SS&D is good because it's half the price of WSP.
BTW: I plugged the Eucalyptus Rain soap into the soap to make queue... I think it might be next, lol. It's stuck in my head now that I was reminded of it. Well, I mean after my rimmed soap project.
