blazerina Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Ok, here's one for you experts! I located an Ebay store that sells massage oils, dry spray oils for hair body, roll on purfumes... room sprays, etc. She has one that is a B&BW dupe from a discontinued line ive been aching for! I ordered a sample of the Massage oil made only of sweet almond oil and FO, and it's absolutey right on. Can I make a soap with it? Do I use the same measurement as I would for any FO? I think this is a silly q - i'm sure its 'safe' --but I want to make sure you CAN add Sweet Almond Oil to say... a clear M&P base, do I add more since it is 'cut' with the Sweet Almond oil, does it blend, is it like any other oil, are there oils that just DONT blend, etc. And while I have your attention:grin2: I know this is the b&b board but do any of you cross overs know if I can also make a tart or maybe in the future, a candle with it if i like it in the soap? Is there a general rule that if you can use it in B&B you can use in a candle? Or is that a no no? I want to start with tarts for a while. I like the idea that I'm less likely to be responsible for something BURNING. Lol. Ohh i hope this makes sense! I love this fragrance (Water Blossom Ivy) so much it makes me loopy, lol.

Linnyeg Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 If the only ingredients truly are sweet almond oil & fo, you could use it in m&p. I wouldnt go over 1tbsp pp. As for tarts, I wouldn't because of the sweet almond. Why not just buy the fo? Then you dont have to worry about it being diluted, & can use it in candles as well! 8 places are listed as having it in the fragrance finder... here's the link to the W's. http://www.geocities.com/lwoollen_25/FragranceFinder/W.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazerina Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 Ok- I thank you so much for that info. I clicked on the link and I don't really know what Im looking at/ or for. Do I do a search for the B&BW brand or fragrance name? I thought it would be easiest to use this oil as I dont know what EO's or FO's were used to create this perfect match. Also, at .99 cents for a 1/4 oz I thought that was a cheap way to try before I commit to bigger quantities. -Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Click on duplications and you'll see a whole section on B&BW scents...click on the scent and it takes you to the section with a list of suppliers that carry that oil. Or you can just go under the alphabetical listings and find the oil itself. Either way, you'll get to the list of suppliers!! Definately do not use that Ebay stuff in candles!! It also may not blend that great in your M&P, but try it and see!! It may cut your lather down some with the extra oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
