Candybee Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Looking for both a lavender scent and color good for CP.For color/dye: I hate lavenders that turn a grayish hue. I want a rich vibrant lavender and preferably one that doesn't fade and stands up to CP. I am currently using grape POP. Its okay but was wondering if there is a better one out there. (Plus don't know how long my grape POP will last.)For scent: I would prefer a FO to an EO. Anyone know a good one that sticks in CP? Would prefer a less medicinal/herbal and more floral or sweet field lavender if you know one.Any recos would be appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Tassi Lavender sticks like glue IMHO. My customers like it good and strong, so I use 1 oz./lb. of oils. I can't help you replace your grape pop, as I usually make swirls of grape pop & bamboo charcoal. http://www.thesage.com/catalog/products/Tassi-Lavender-Fragrance-Oil.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Purple lab colors works for me to get a good purple color. I prefer grape pop mica but am out of it.I use eo's for the scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Celestial purples are really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 LIke to help you on this, but I can't. I like Peak's lavender, but I also rather like using an EO too. For the purple, I have a beautiful lavender fields oxide that I sure wish I could tell you where it's from. It came out of someone's coop moons ago.

ah-soy Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have cp'd and hp'd Natures Gardens Lavender Fields. It really sticks well and I like it. Lavender EO lovers may not, but I do:) I am using the last little bit of my grape pops with it, but have heard that The Conservatorie Magic Violet mica is a close match.

JanetsCandles Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I worked some Lavender Matte Pigment from WSP into CP soap this weekend. Thought it greyed out on me, but the color bounced back (like Scented said it would). Made a very nice lavender color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Thanks for all the suggestions. I am sticking with my grape POP for now until it runs out.The Tassi Lavender is from Southern Soapers or BB? Not sure where I remember seeing it.

ah-soy Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I should correct my fragrance to say it is Lavender Flowers from NG, not Lavender Fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Southern Soapers is back & they have the Tassi Lavender, but MMS duped it, it's a little bit cheaper and identical to the SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I use Peak's Lavender and BB Lavender together. This came to be when I had just a bit of each left. It made one wonderful soap together, so now I mix the two exclusively. I also add in a hint of lavender EO. As for colors, I always use Select Shades.

blacktieaffair Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Candy, I don't know how it works in CP, but in MP and everything else under the sun, I use Bedtime Bath by Aztec. I have five different straight lavenders on my shelves, and this is the one I use that isn't that medicinal / garden lavender you were talking about not wanting. It's a mix of Lav and Cham and all my customers prefer it 10x over any other straight lav, or combo lav I carry . Im sure SOMEONE has had to have tried it in CP . I'll go over to Aztec's FB page and ask and get back with you if I get an answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 So all of you that use the grape POP what are you going to switch to once you run out?Also, does anyone know a lavender/lilac color with a blue tint in it? I know lavender has blue in it but well.. I hope you know what I mean. The grape POP has more blue in it when used in M&P but looks different in CP. But that blueish hued lavender is the exact color I am looking for in my CP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hey Candybee, I don't know if you've ever considered using goplanetearth colors. They are good for CP and MP. I use the lavender on in my MP. http://www.goplanetearth.com/about_colors.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SliverOfWax Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Southern Soapers is back & they have the Tassi Lavender, but MMS duped it, it's a little bit cheaper and identical to the SS.Chris, have you used it in a candle?There simply is no better lavender that SS's Tassi, or at least there WAS no better lavender. Once I found SS Tassi, I never looked at another lavender. But how does MMS throw? As well as SS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Sliver it's an exact match and throws excellent like the SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
