I tried olive worked nicely, but to me it still smells like olive oil not the peppermint/vanilla e/o's I used

Hello all I made some foot scrub which I really like, here are the ingredients.....

fine sea salt

jojoba oil

m & p goats milk

peppermint and vanilla e/o

then pretty much melt, mix and scrub, really lovely stuff, but my question is jojoba oil is expensive so i tried making a batch for my daughter using AKO for the oil and by the morning the stuff was rock hard in the jar. The scrub made with the jojoba was still nice and mushy, so what other oil is close to jojoba but not as expensive ???? Thanks in advance for the help

I have to say I think the lime one does smell like lime, but the others do not.

I got mine from here

I got banana, mango, lime, papaya, and pineapple oh and strawberry too. I made a dry facial mud mask and some lovely island spa milk baths with them so far.

I made a lovely M & P salt scrub this morning, I just love this stuff !!!!!

I just got my order in so now I have my powder Fruit Extracts and I need some ideas on what to do with them??? I was so excited to find them I bought them without have a clue as what to do with them. I was thinking maybe a facial, mix them up with some clays or add them into lotions, or with some coconut milk and use as a tropical milk bath. ??? I have banana, apple, papaya, pineapple, guava, lime and strawberry powders .........

Has anyone had any experience with the bases from bathbodysupply ??? I was wondering about the facial one it is called Botanical facial cleanser:confused:

Thank you, I am going to give them a try again, I have been reading the posts on making them and i think maybe I did not mix everything enough. I am not giving up and I will try again with ideas you gave and see what happens

Ok, so I just tried to make the bath boms and is the mixture supposed to be kinda like dry crumble cookie dough, I got the large bath bomb mold maker scooped it up and tapped it hard on the table but they just crumbled as I tried to take them out???? I put in a few more drizzles of oil and I got a few to hols up in complete rounds, but ended up throwing the rest in the bowl away. I thought if I keep adding more oil I will end up with a big mess in the tub ???? I read that you can use a muffin tin for molds, maybe that would work out better till I get the hang of it all

wow lots of great info, i will be sorting it all out......thank you

where is the best place to get scents from??? or who has great candle scents, any brand better than others???? thanks
