topofmurrayhill Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Here are links to some EO articles by David Fisher on About.com. Most include specific blending ideas for the oil in question. They seemed helpful to me, so maybe someone else will like them.

Candybee Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Thanks. I bookmarked the site. I was reading about some of the black pepper blends and found one I liked! Will look at the others when I get a chance. I like that is has list of different EO types and gives history on the oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Benzoin is intriguing -- and controversial maybe? IFRA is confusing about it. Best I can figure, there is a type of it that's good for 0.6% in soap. I think. Maybe. Not powder but resin extract. Only a few suppliers have it. Bulk Apothecary is one.

moonshine Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Naha.org is a great place to get information on EO and many suppliers New directions aromatics carries benzoin resinoid and they are a very good supplier and a certified organic processor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
