Very slow moving recipe please...

[Chris_S]

Fragrance preferences are SO personal....I seem to be surrounded by people who like food scents in their candles/air fresheners and soaps (cinnamon latte, pumpkin spice, cinnamon bun, blueberry muffin, cupcake, cotton candy, etc etc). I find all of that insanely cloying, but love crisp fresh fruits and florals. That being said, I think familiarity is breeding tolerance for me....I recently bought Ginger EO from 3 different companies online to test them. Two were very good and I didn't like the 3rd at all. Yesterday when I made the shampoo bars, I used Orange-Ginger FO, but bumped it up with Cedarwood, Orange 5-Fold and Patchouli EOs and decided to throw in my 3rd-place Ginger EO. I immediately regretted it, as all I could smell was that soil-like Ginger, but by evening I had come to terms with it and this morning, I actually sought out the bars for their dirt-Ginger smell! Now, if others don't agree with me, well, I've got a LOT of shampoo bars to get through...

Iv been searching for a decent shampoo bar recipe that i dont need to buy any oils for. Iv just been using m&p shampoo base. Any chance you could please inbox me the recipe you use would prefer to try one that someone has already tried. Thanks Would be strictly only for personal use and for family to try because all are keen to reduce plastic wastage

I used this one because it had pretty good reviews/comments: https://www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/cold-process-soap/invigorating-shampoo-bars/

Haven't tried it yet, so can't tell you how well it works....I was SUPPOSED to make it with lavender and mint but then realised out that the FO I had chosen to go with the EOs accelerates, so switched over to orange-ginger. I probably should have kept the TTO for therapeutic benefits, but I clean the house with TTO and don't want my hair to remind me of my washing buckets

So, I can't personally recommend it yet, but there are a lot of positive reviews! Let me know if you do go for it...and what you do for fragrance!

Thank you much appriciated. I think ill try it this or next week sometime i have all the oils too which is always a bonus. I find it really annoying when they dont use % as well makes my life more difficilt to figure out the %s from just numbers. Ill use the forum calc or sm3 think its pretty easy on either of them
