So in a search I came across this site http://www.soapnuts.com/shelf.html My question is, is this pretty hard and fast? I have had my oils in basement storage for about 2 years. About a week ago I opened a bunch and sniffed. They all smell ok to me. My main concern is the rice bran and almond oils. Any suggestions? And I do know how rancid oil smells, it's a long story but I was conned into making cookies with crisco that was very much past it's prime. tia amanda

I have never seen it in the US, but it is only going for about $13 and $5 shipping, not too bad. Pay pal takes care of the conversion.

I got same as Vicky. Looks good so far

Yea for mom!!!:yay::highfive:

When you add something to it, you change the batch weight. Your preservitve is based on the total batch weight. So when you add too much, you can render the preservitve useless.

Off the top of my head, anise, spearamint, pepermint, lemon, grapefruit, and orange.

Well hell, I must find out how you get orders. I have given out my website at shows and at an art/craft show at my work. I have had plenty of views but no orders. I am sorry, but you are being very defensive and that doesn't sit well with me.

Well hells bells! colloidal is just a fancy was of saying ground really fine. humph.

How do you make it? i thought it was a different kind of oatmeal.

Once apon a time there was a really wise soaper. She got on me for not wearing my gloves when I had soap go all over the place. Gee, I wonder who that soaper could be? Don't feel bad Robin. I don't know what went wrong, but I have a batch of patch that hasn't gotten hard enough to cut in 3 days.

It looks like their gal price is a bit cheeper, but their 5 gal is worlds appart. $30 from HS and $52.50 from ODB

Yup that makes sence. I am not totally sure, but what i was going to do was cut my batch down by 1lb of oils. I figured that would be enough to still fill my mold, but not overfill. I have a ton of curls laying around, so I figure if need be i can just add more. HTH

That's funny cause I thought their prices were on the high side. I have started ordering most of my oils and such from Columbus foods or Oils by Nature. Ricebran from Honest Foods.

I feel that this shea is much better than TDF. I used to use the raw unrefined from TDF but started useing this before they stopped selling. I dont' feel you will be dissapointed. http://www.agbangakarite.com/

Yes on the denatured. Regular alcohol isn't approved by the FDA for cosmetic use.
