I want to know too!do I really wanna know...………..yeah I do--what is poop soap
It is sort of an addiction...chasing the perfect scent. Some posted on here this weekend (sorry...don't remember who) that often the names and descriptions of FO's don't reflect reality of what they smell like. If I could go to a store and actually smell them it would be different, but that's just not a reality for me. I don't understand why some intrepid company doesn't make scent sample cards like they do with perfumes in magazines. On the flip side, I honestly don't know that I believe the health benefits of EOs translate into topical use in CP soaps either, but that's sort of another discussion. At least with a good, undiluted EO combination that I make myself, I have a better idea of what I'm getting. Why would someone, including me, rant about excess chemicals in our environment and go to all the trouble of making an "all-natural, non-animal, palm-free" etc bar, then fill it with chemicals. I'm asking, not preaching as I have just ordered WSPs black pepper and sandalwood FO, which means I have no room to talk. I may stick with EOs and experiment with backing off on the amounts to see if I can get more subtle fragrances in my bars to make them more about the lather.
It's all about DoF. Depth of Field or Depth of Focus, the terms are interchangeable.

If you enjoy going full geek and reading about it in detail then this article is pretty good.

Hope that helps. And of course, as with many things, practice develops the skill

I made Pot Salve............ or wait that isn't a soap
I've created labels for soaps that needed them (7 or 8 labels); they still need to be printed but the files have been created. I've done a full soap inventory and updated my Square app. I'm just about ready for the market (May 5). Now, it's time for some lunch.
So, I ask you, does this ever get old?.... Somebody start the burlesque music...

Thank you, ma’am. Can I put in for my Drop Swirl Merit Badge?

Beautiful soap!
superb! gotta ask, micas for color?
I love dirt mixed with Big Sur or other woodsy fragrances. You just have to go light with Dirt
CC* Matte Teal Pigment, CC Matte Purple Pigment (which turns brown as dirt in CP), Empire Yellow mica and 2-to-1 red oxide/brown oxide to make the pink/cedar color.
*Crafter’s Choice
So these seem to mostly be filtered oxides? This Mr Rabbit has another hole to burrow into.
Thanks!
