Soaping with Amyris


Candybee

Recommended Posts

I was making a 3.5 lb batch of CP soap and decided to blend some amyris with some sandalwood FO and another FO. I used 1oz amyris. Thats all. My soap seized big time! LOL Just a head's up it can move really, really fast.

 

Next time I plan to use half that amount.

Was it EO or FO? And where from?

My well-aged (read as: bought in a co-op and stuck it in the cabinet forgetting about it for yeeeeears) Amyris EO from LN is thick as cold molasses now. I can't get any scent to come through CP with it, but i don't recall it causing acceleration. :-/

Its the EO. Got it from SMR. I've use it before with no problems but that was a much smaller amount I added to my vanilla sandalwood blend. This time I decided to up the amyris amt to 1oz as I was short on my sandalwood FO. LOL Big mistake!

 

Anyway, I plopped it in the mold and mashed it down to fairly level but it has a very rustic looking top. So I sprinkled on some gold glitter to purdy it up a bit.

 

BTW-- so far it smells awesome! I mixed Peaks Asian Sandalwood and EBB's Toasted Oats & Shea with the Amyris. It really smells heavenly! Hope it sticks!! (and doesn't morph!!)
