I do blend it equal parts of fo, and neutralizer. I end up using less fo than I normally would, but I really can't tell any difference. hth!

I looooove that scent too! hehe I was so bummed when I made that first batch and they turned poo brown! lol My kids loved em anyways... maybe even more so cause they were poo brown! LOL

I just got some Vanilla Browning Neutralizer, from WSP. I tried it with my Vanilla Pear fo from NG in bubble bars a few days ago. No browning yet!

Last time I used that scent in bubble bars with no neutralizer they were brown within a few hours!

Those are all so beautiful! I bet they smell amazing too..

Lookin good!! What scents did you use?

Those melts look really great too!

It scares me a bit that I can relate to all these posts too... :embarasse

Thanks ladies.

I did contact SS, haven't heard back yet. That's probably it I bet, kitchenfairy.

Thanks TexasBrat, I'll check it out!

Hi all

I've bought btms from Southern Soapers before.. I wanted to order more, and... I can't find it on their site anymore! I emailed, but I was just wondering if anyone knows if they no longer carry it.

Where else might I find it? I must be searching wrong because I can't seem to find anything re this!! lol

TIA

Just a thought, I also use coconut oil in mine. Gives it a bit of hardness too.

This is very interesting... Sorry I can't help, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone has any experience with this.

Those looks so good! I love DS fos.. Everytime I attempt pink I get orange too.. lol

Normally I hand-shape mine... but I tried the measuring cup mold the other day, and I too had a heck of a time getting them to pop out! lol I dusted the measuring cup very lightly with cornstarch and that helped.

Those looks great! You should see the first few I tried to frost... not pretty! lol

I can't say for sure, but when I've had things discolor.. soaps, bubble bars, etc.. they did within a day or two.

omg, awesome! Very far out!

Love those!!

Those looks soooo good!! I too would love to know how you make the swirls, they looks great!

Hi Welcome Rebeccasbeads

I'm no lip balm expert, but if you did not add a special flavoring, I'm guessing the taste is just from the butters you used.

Those look great! I bet they smell amazing too!!

Lookin good Dee!!

Wow, soooo pretty!

:laugh2::laugh2:My husband LOVES it... he used one to take a shower and he was like "THIS STUFF IS SO FUN!" OMG i am married to a man child:laugh2::laugh2:

LOL! Too funny! This stuff sounds great tho, I think I gotta try it!

I think both those methods can be called "room temp" ... I have had good success with both methods ... hot lye added to the room temp oils and butters, and everything at room temp.

I haven't had any problems with either method... tho as stated above, if it's a fo that accelerates, I let everything cool really well before starting. I'm a pretty new soaper, but this is just what's worked for me.

Ooo, carrot/tomato sounds good! Looks good too!

Lookin good!!
