soapandthings.com has tons of great stuff. They carry alot of the same premade bases that other places carry(like Wsp, off the top of myhead) & a nice variety of bottles, packaging, etc. I've used them & liked them very much.

What do you think of a combination of Lavender Fo & Cucumber Fo to blend for bath and body products? Thanks!

I use cyclo(but not from taylored concepts) & have never smelled anything bad

Old Mills Pink Cupcake is incredible!! Smells like sweet, sweet, cake & pink strawberry/cherry frosting. I made tons of it in B&B for Valentines Day last year. Another great supplier called: The Candle Source has the same oil & they smell the same. They are a bit cheaper & offer varied sizes. I just found them and have loved everything so far. Although I'm not kicking Old Mill. Their oils are top notch!!! Either way: go for the Frosted Pink Cupcake!! You won't regret it.

this is the post I was looking for, for you: "And if you're doing just one bottle, 1/3 oz is about 9 grams. So if you're doing 50%/25%/25% like candle man posted, that would be about 4 grams cyclo, 2 grams fco, 2 grams fo. You can use a dropper and drop it into a bottle tared on a scale." Oh, and in regard to: "re the % being for larger amounts...not true."............... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to confuse when I said the %'s were only for larger amounts. I guess I should've re-read my post. I meant to say that these amounts(ounces) that I was listing, were the measurements for the %'s related to making the larger sizes(2 oz, 4 oz, etc...). (meaning that you can only use .28 oz FO as a "part" if making a larger size....etc....)Sorry!!! I don't even know if I just re-explained myself correctly!!!! )

yes, you can use any suppliers skin-safe fragrance oils. FCO is a great oil to use with a very long shelf life. You wanted to add a 3rd ingredient: cyclomethicone is VERY poplular. It is an oil that once rolled or sprayed on, becomes dry(dry oil sprays, dry oil roll ons, etc). If you choose to use FO, FCO & Cyclo, there have been alot of threads on this one....I should know, I've asked alot about this. Here is what I've gathered(& used myself, after much experimenting): 7:1 ratio or 6:1 ratio, broken down into "parts"(ok, here is where it used to confuse the heck out of me...the "parts". Another confusing thing is that these %'s are for larger than 1/3 oz size. I have yet to figure that out. The only thing that has worked for me, is to make at least a 2 ouncer & then pour that into rolller bottles. My problem is that most of the time, I just need to make ONE 1/3 bottle in a particular scent. So if I make 2 ounces, just to get the measurements right, I have a ton of leftover/waste after pouring it into the ONE 1/3 roller bottle I needed. ) Ok, back to the %'s: 7:1 ratio or 6:1 ratio, broken down into "parts" (let me cut & paste from a source): some people use less or more, but here is the standard recipe: 1 part fragrance oil to 6 parts cyclomethicone it depends on the size...whatever it is, break it down to 7 parts. example : for a 2 ounce total weight - 2.0 divide by 7 = approx .28 per part. so you would use .28 fo and the rest is cyclo. 2 oz dry oil spray - .28 oz fo 4 oz dry oil spray - .57 oz fo 6 oz dry oil spray- .85 oz fo 8 oz dry oil spray - 1.14 oz fo IF you are adding FCO, just substitute one of the cyclo "parts" with FCO. I truly don't know what the proportions would be to use only FCO & FO. But since you said you were looking into adding a 3rd ingredient, I think Cyclo would be great. (sold at aromahaven, bittercreek, wsp, the sage, etc.. HTH But there are a few threads on this subject here....search around under FCO, roller bottles, etc....

Daystar's premium: Vanilla Bean Noel is wonderful!

Try these two search sites. But I remember seeing Tomato Leaf recently. http://www.scentforum.com/fragrance-oil-suppliers.php http://www.geocities.com/lwoollen_25/FragranceFinder/index.html

Does anyone use either of these two bases: WSP's Silky Body Butter and WSP's Luxury Mist? I've been using them for a while & scenting them as per the guidelines on the jugs: .5% (or 1/2 tsp per 16 oz of base) I'm not happy with the scenting & feel I need more FO to cover the butter base's natural smell and the Luxury Mist needs to be much stronger. Does anyone use these & scent at a higher percentage? Thanks alot!

Indiana Candle Supply www.candlesupplys.us

I use Strawberry Jam from Wholesale Supplies Plus & Bitter Creek Norths

I've found them to be hit or miss, to tell you the truth. Do a "search" above on the company name & see what others think. I've recently been using Indiana Candleswww.candlesupplys.us Room/Linen Spray base. I like it alot & it is skin safe too & reasonably priced.

Is it too spicey smelling in Bath & Body? Thanks
