Starr Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) I had a problem with Fresh Strawberry from CS too. The scent almost completely faded. Edited January 14, 2010 by Starr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I had one that went yellow, but they went OOB. Pinkish tan is what OT says their summer strawberry does. Anyone soaped the French Strawberry from Mr. Missys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I wish that I could help you with the BB strawberry. It is my favorite strawberry of all time, but I have not soaped it. I have had no luck with any strawberry. I get a disgusting strange smell every time, so I just use it in MP and body stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee263 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The best strawberry I've ever used was from Solas. Unfortunately, they stopped carrying FO but theirs was easy to work with, the scent held up great and although, in my formula, it discolored to a dark yellow/orange, it quickly cured to pure white. I still have a little less than a pound that I've been hoarding. I don't think anyone bought them out and I don't know if anyone else's strawberry is the same. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Smittenheart, that's the one I used. No one picked them up. i know a supplier went looking to try to buy some of the formulas, but he didn't even respond.

Candybee Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) According to Southern Soapers their Fresh Picked Strawberries soaps well in CP and only discolors to a pale beige:http://southernsoapers.com/cart/fresh-picked-strawberries-p-798.html Edited January 17, 2010 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smittenheart Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 I keep seeing that the NG's Pomegranate is similar to strawberry..soo I may be heading in that direction..I was looking at OT too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Old thread, but I have been searching and searching for a strawberry that doesn't discolor in cp! I don't even care if it's a blend with another scent, but I need a strawberry. Just got an email from Daystar, and they are discontinuing their Fresh Picked Strawberries. The info notes no discoloration in cp, but does the scent stick or morph into skunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
