Carrie Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Try Rice Bran Oil instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Will need to buy that I think at zerbo's, Does this have no fragrance and is it comparable to oo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Rice Brand oil doesn't smell. I hate OO too and a lot of other oils. Don't want any unrefined oil cause the smell makes me sick. Even the sunflower oil might have a smell I don't know if I have ever had any of it. Also the green olive oil that most people use in soap smells the worst. When I do use it I go for the lightest OO they sell even for cooking or dipping with spices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Definitely try the RBO. Let us know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Still playing with the recipe at soapcalc, will let you know soon how it turns outThanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaGA Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Sorry no help.I made an unscented CPHP castille with babassu and castor. I can smell something 'off' when the bar is wet.I thought it was the HP process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister Kya Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Will need to buy that I think at zerbo's, Does this have no fragrance and is it comparable to oo?If Zerbo's even carries it, they'll certainly overcharge you for it. I'd buy in bulk from a reputable company online like MMS.It has very little scent and seems to be what many soapers are using in place of OO these days...HTH!

katshe Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Kya, thanks for the heads up, i will check that out myself. I did check zerbos and they do not carry rbo but I believe wsp does and I will check shipping at mms to compare pricingthanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every bar of soap I have made has been HP so it's not that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
