I just made RE's Butternut Pumpkin 2 weeks ago. I only used 6% because I wasn't sure about the spicy factor. So far the soap has not turned brown, just a little tan. The scent is not really strong but I can smell it. I really like Butternut Pumpkin in soy so I hope this soap will be a good companion to the candle.
Wow, I never thought of using Mistletoe in soap. What percent do you find works for you? I do cphp..I have bcn mistletoe, I think I will give it a try.
Thanks for all the replies! I am not too fond of CS's Lavender. I never tried it in soap, but in candles it is not what I am looking for. I think I will try some from Camden, I would love to us EO for my lavender soap. If that doesn't cut it I guess I will try some from TCS though I don't order from them much. I have never ordered from Peaks and I'm not sure I want to open that can of worms. Should I???? Add another supplier that is??? OK what else is really order worthy from peaks or is that another thread??
I have tried Eo's and Fo's and so far I cannot find one that sticks. I have tried wsps 40/42 eo (way too expensive) that faded. Soapsupplies.nets lavender fo, that faded. Flickers-french lavender, not the one I was looking for. Please, any suggestion on a really great lavender that sticks in soap??
If you have a Michaels near bye, look in the soap section, they have a small jar, I can't remember how much it was, but it was pretty reasonable. I don't think edible glitter would hold up too well. I'm sure it would melt after a few days.
I also do hp, I have had a few fade or I guess needed more fo. I usually do 8 or 9 % for the first time using a scent. If you don't mind sharing, where is the pumpkin cheesecake fo from?
That is really cute!! How did the scent hold up? I make my soap molds out of 1/2 foam board, that way I can make them any size I want. I line the mold with parchment paper. I'm pretty sure there is a tutorial on this board on how to line a soap mold. Very cute though! I wonder if Michaels has a pumpkin mold. I will look.
I have never had a problem ordering from her, she has always worked with me, especially when I change my order on her. I read some posts of others having problems getting a hold of her, and figured I better have a plan b. I am so relieved I won't have to find replacements!
NaturallyTru....you are lucky you don't know what it smelled like! It is the best pine ever! I tried Christmas Bliss years ago, I don't think that is a straight pine at all. Try the Blackberry Sage from RE, the Soap N Candles version. It is really great in soy and cp! I soooo hope Gena is taking summer break and we hear from her soon! Has anyone tried Rustic Essentials Apple Cinnamon or Alaskan Wilderness?
Yes, that is what I noticed....and I'm not sure which I like better, but since her patchouli passion price pre buy price ends tonight, I think I'm heading over there for a pound. Any one use patch passion in soy or soy blend??
