I totally agree about Lavender. I suffered from tension headaches until about 6 months ago due to nasty "perimenopause" problems. The lavender was very helpful until this part of life passed.

Your soap is absolutely stunning!

I just adore the colors. Beautiful!

I love almond oil. For me, it makes all the difference in soap.

This is sad news for me, even though I am in the north east. BCS has always provided great service for me. I am very sad to see them go.  I have always had trouble with BCN.

All of the best to you and great success with your lovely store!

So lovely, and I just see SPRING all around in your soap. Well done!

I already commented, but I have to say again, they look great- not too dark at all.

Sweet Cakes Black Raspberry is by far the most magnificent raspberry that I have ever used. There are lots of good raspberry fragrances out there and I have tried many. However, nothing compares to Sweet Cakes. It is one of my all time favorite scents.

Your soap looks wonderful! If it smells like a lemon tart, then it must smell amazing. I cannot see how anyone would not be very pleased with something like this. Great job!

I agree about storm watch or something smoky.

I have used plastic wrap and the bars will shrink over time. Not only that, the plastic wrap will adhere to the soap if the bar becomes older. Ask me how I know!

The Chemistry Store has wonderful fragrances. My personal favorite is their Lemon Burst- the best lemon fragrance that I have tried. Other faves that I use regularly are Apple Red, Bay Rum, and Eucalyptus. The Chemistry Store is my most used supplier. I have never had a single problem with them.

I have some very old fragrance oils that I enjoy for personal use.

I have never had any issues using cinnamon in soap. It is always the leave on product like a lotion that is where the sensitivity is a big issue. I always sell cinnamon soap and have never had a single complaint. I am careful with the amount of FO used and  I always let the customers know that the spice content could irritate sensitive skin.  I often mix FO with a bit of EO and I achieve great results.

 

I still only do melt and pour. 

This is still so much better than commercial soap. I make all kinds of soap, including melt and pour, and there is such a difference. A good MP base blows away any commercial soap in my opinion.

Very pretty as always!

My favorite is definitely #2. I am wondering if you use the color text in #4 in the layout of #2, how would that look?

I love it with myrrh. One of my best selling scents all year long.  Vanilla is also wonderful with it.

Beautiful soap and it MUST smell amazing!

Um if a company only communicates via FB then that's sad ... 

It is not only sad, it is so unprofessional.

You are right Candybee. It is a good thing that you never tried the new ones. The scents were just as amazing and in the end just as fleeting.

Candybee, what kills me is that I gave TW another shot after they reintroduced fragrance oils after a long time without them. I fell in love with some of the newer ones. Then, within a year or so, TW decided to close up shop with their fragrance oils. Seriously, I felt screwed all over again. Their "new" apricot, magnolia, and neroli were to die for. I have never felt such sad frustration with a company before.

I have always loved TW oils. I never thought to contact a company to let them know to stock  a certain product. I just assumed  the company would offer a product and see if it sells well. Honestly, I have given up hope on getting any TW fragrance oils.  I have come to the conclusion that their oils are completely lost to me.

I love the colors.  A beautiful job!
