I was wondering whether you'd recommend bottling essential oil blends without a carrier oil (which would dilute them) for when needed, or whether you think it's better just to add at trace in cold process soaps.

I love the one with the crazy colors too but often with the natural plant and clay powders, the colors do fade over time. I've notived some oils keep the color strength better. One day I'll remember to write down WHICH oils do this.

I've been trying to play around a bit more with EO combos, but I've still got so many FOs begging to be used, too. Your soaps are so pretty - I love the colors in the spirulina/alkanet/madder root/yellow clay soap. It's so awesome that those are all natural colorants!LatherBeSoapinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018716091511424218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-56875037875842577832013-02-26T08:00:16.901-06:002013-02-26T08:00:16.901-06:00Broad, I have not yet used in soap but understand ...Broad, I have not yet used in soap but understand it is very conditioning for skin.
