Wine in Soap??

[Soapmaker Man]

I know 4 or 5 suppliers who sell either lime margarita or strawberry margareta FO's. I'll get one in and soap it. Sounds like a Paul original to me!

Paul.... :wink:

A lot for me, a little for the soap pot, a lot for me, a little for the soap pot, even more for me, to hell with the soap pot.............ZZZZZZZZZZ

Paul....sleeping it off now, thank you! 8) 8)

Hey, that sounds like me! I do like wine. I think I'm gonna have to give this one a go after Christmas. I'll try to remember to post results when it's done.

I have been using starwberries & champagne from WSP for at least 3 years now, millcreek has a nice one too. My lime margaritta is from taylored concepts. TC have lots of wine scented fo's, don't know how they are though, never sniffed them.

I am looking for watermelontini and a great pina colada if anyone has a source.

 

[Soapmaker Man]

I have a source for pina colada if I can remember where! I did not make the soap, a buddy did and I LOVEd the scent. It was not too coconutty and was a "warm" scent. I'll try to locate it Tab!

I remembered! It was from Tradewinds! It is a to-die-for scent! Please give it a shot Tab!

Where in California do you live? Did I meet you at a fair? LOL in Suisun? Just wondering if that was you..

Anyway..

It will have to be flat!
Beer soap.. the beer is flat!.. I assume the wine will have to be room temp,and flat.
I think I would do half wine, and half distilled water..

Hmm.. I have wine in the fridge.. I am going to look into that..

Hey Paul, thats a good idea.. scent it with a Wine FO.. since the wine scent wont come out naturally..

Nope, sorry - that was not me ... I live in Paso Robles - which is about 30 miles north of San Luis Obispo. But nice to meet you all anyhow! I am glad to find this forum!

As for the reasons for using wine - As a professional manicurist by trade - I had customized several ultra spa treatments using fresh wine grapes - they are very good for the skin - antioxidants and free radicals (all that good stuff -- I will find my handout on this info and pass it along). I am interested in possibly using many varieties (red, zin, cab) featuring the local wines from the area... Just though it would be a neat spin, to help set my soaps apart... Fits the area great too!

Can I ask where I can find the wine FO?

How about "Jimmy Buffet Bar" ?? Add some dead sea salts, lime and lemon juice - and the zest --- sit back and relax with this one!

The cab. Sav. wine FO sounds wonderful. Thanks for the tip.

 

[itsmeroro]

When using FO vs. EO's, is the soap still considered "all natural"? I dont know much about FO's...

thanks roro

 

[Tabitha]

EO=essential oil=100% natural
FO=fragrance oil=synthetic, a fragrance oil may be made up of many diffrent synthetic elemements & *may* have some EO in it as well. Many people who make a 100% natural product but choose to add synthetic FOs call them *nearly natural* or may even break it down to 98% natural.

Thanks, Tabitha! I was wondering about that one. Do you know about "cosmetic grade" FO's? I assume this means they too are synthetic? (darn!)

Is there a web resource for all natural ingredients listings? I also came by a way to color soaps with natural ingredients -- but cant find it again! This is very interesting!

Cheers! and have a Great Day! roro
