I just soaped Sea Glass from WSP 2 weeks ago. It is very floral. I didn't really notice the floral notes in the bottle, but after I got it into the oils, and as it's curing it has a definate floral smell. Actually, that's pretty much what I smell, floral. Little bummed as I didn't want any floral, but it still smells great. Don't think it's what you're looking for though.

I've used the un stoppables quite a few times, but not the purex ones made with the sugar. No stains, or clumps or coated feelings on the clothes. I still have some of the unstoppables.. after dinner I'm gunna grab a few of them and put in some water and see how long it takes for them to dissolve. I haven't been successful making my own fabric softener that has a lasting scent that I'm really liking these! lol

Here is the MSDS for The downy unstoppables... I have absolutely NO idea what most of it means. LOL http://www.pg.com/productsafety/msds/fabric_and_homecare/fabric_conditioner/Downy_Unstopables_MSDS_02-25-11.pdf

Hmm the ingredients say PEG Dissterate (I know I messed that spelling up lol).. and, the downy version is like lil wax pieces.. Do you melt it down to use in your products? And than they harden back up??? Janet I am thinking you may be right that it's used to make sure the FO emulsifies with the bath water. I'm thinking like a bath oil, I use poly 20 in it so that the oil and fo don't just float on the top.. So.. instead of a bath salt, we can start thinking in the lines of a laundry sugar! LOL I'm thinking I'm going to have to do some playing this weekend. I don't have any raw sugar, but can grab that. I have kaolin clay and not benonite, but I'm not sure what that brings to the party property value wise... Maybe lots of little loads of laundry are in the future! ha!

Have you looked at EBC? I believe she sells one too...

That's what I'm thinking as far as ingredients. I should get a bottle of the Purex ones just to see how they work compared to the Downy unstoppables. As I type I am gasping from the fumes from my sweatshirt.. apparently I used to many unstoppables in my washer cuz, wow it's STRONG! I've never used PEG.. shoot, I dont' even know where to get it from! Is it a liquid? The PEG and fo are the only ingredients in the downy ones.. and it's like lil wax dots... Sugar in the washing? I never would have thought it! lol

Love em!!!

absolutely gorgeous!!!

Here's the downy unstoppable ingredients: Poly Ethylene Glycol (the PEG in the purex I'm assuming), fragrance, and color... that's it? really? They work sooo amazingly well!!

I haven't been able to figure out what the Downy ones are.. Have you used them? They look and feel like little soy drops.. But that can't be it if they're used in the washer.. Ok I'm going to see if I can google that LOL I'm such a laundry scent freak it's not even funny. LOL Although I don't use them on my clothes because that'd make a hot mess with my perfume if I decide to wear any. But I love having my kids smell like it.. It's like, an addiction! haha

Not quite sure where to put this one.. But have any of you used these? I have bought the Downy ones that you add to the washing machine for a fragrance booster. OMG I love them, but the price of almost $7 a bottle is crazy! I was looking at the Purex brand and read the ingredients.. SUGAR!! benonite, PEG distilate (or something like that), fragrance, and colors. Hmmmm... looked like the big raw sugar crystals.. I'm thinking this might be pretty easy to make! I don't have benonite, but do have kaolin.. and I have no idea what the PEG thingie is. Who woulda thought that scented sugar could be used as a laundry booster??? I make my own laundry detergent, and use vinegar as a softener, but miss the scent, so I started getting the downy boosters.. hmmm. this could solve my scent problem if I can make this scented sugar thing work! lol Ok, so I looked it up and here's the ingredients: Ingredients are listed as: Sucrose (sugar); Bentonite (clay); PEG Disstearate (blending agent); Fragrance; Sanolin Blue (colorant)

I love all the Grace dupes!! I always have a rollon in my purse lol. I think Pink Sugar would be a good one, or any of the perfume or BBW dupes would be good for rollons. Most of mine are male that my hunny wants. He's a horrible cologne ho haha

I've gotten mine from WSP

I'll admit it... we still save our bacon grease... Makes an awesome pot of green beans! LOL

I know there's something in I THINK Sterling, but think it might be in the fall? How far are you willing to drive? I also believe Galesburg has something also...

Oh for Pete's sake!!!! I thought the scent of money was something.... this is just nuts!

There's quite a few recipes for them in the recipe section, but the one they're talking about here is Kimberly's whipped butter or something like that. Look in the recipe section and it might be a couple pages in..

I am a buff of listening to the 40's radio shows. I like the commercials from during the war.... Back than, bacon grease was collected and sold back to butchers to make soap! Wonder what it would smell like. lol

NG has Dragonsblood fragrance, but I'm not sure about the Belladonna...

Debbie May posted something on her blog regarding this. I don't have the link with me, but it's on the WSP facebook page. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I think it's an update of some sort.

Adding some cocoa butter might help make it withstand a bit of heat, but I wouldn't trust it to keep it from not melting. This butter really is more of a winter product since it's soo susepticle (OMG how do you spell that word? LOL) to melting. Since it's just butters and oils, there's really no way of upping the melt temp without changing it completely with some beeswax or something like that. I only make it in the winter.. In the summer I use an oil spray for after I get out of the shower.

oh, absolutely gorgeous!!!!

Oh that would be WONDERFUL if you would!!! I'll msg you my email! Thank you so so so much!! (cuz honestly, I probably wouldn't get it done this weekend haha)

I keep saying I'm going to create one in excel and printing it out. It's a pain having to always get online and pull up the calculators. lol Or shoot, if I would just print out the ones I put in the calculator that would work too.... Ok, that's been added to my weekend to do list! ha

I have the NG Odor Eliminator base and love it. It really does a good job of getting rid of the stink. (I use it in my hunny's man cave all the time.. that's the ultimate test of the power of it! haha). The scent is nice and strong and lasts. But, like was already posted, you can't use a bakery type FO because the spray will eat it. ha
