Thank you soooo much for checking!!! I didn't get around to contacting them, but just went with the Clary Sage because it blended with more EOs.

So, with that, my TSW order consisted of:

Clary Sage EO - 14.5 oz.
Red Apple Jack FO - 1#
Lemongrass EO - 14.5 oz.
5X Orange EO - 14.5 oz.
Black Raspberry Cream FO - 1#
Winter Solstice FO - 1#

I'm in the middle of making a cucumber soap with pureed organic Persian cucumbers from the garden. I didn't have Shea so I couldn't do the Slice of Summer soap as written, but did fiddle with a recipe to replicate as best as I could. I know, not the same.

I'm also infusing rosemary for a Rosemary Lavender soap as well as some comfrey for an Herbal Mint soap. But, I won't get to those today.

Fun!

Here the new soap boxes I just got in the other day. The small labels are the waterproof labels that they sell to fit the boxes. And then I made a label for the back of the box. I hope this will help sales since I have noticed that people are thrown off by the shrink wrap. They keep trying to smell throught the plastic even though the ends are open. But then again with the last boxes that I had people still wouldn't smell from the opening they would smell from every where else but there.

I have a couple soaps that I think the box has really helped to bring out.

Oh so dislike this soaping book! It does have a lot of good information but a lot of bad information (and opinion) also.

That is some beautiful soap! I tried boxes for a while, but discontinued it because the boxes would get dented and had to be replaced.

I use just shrink bands (MMS Dan's Bands). Even though they're open on the ends, folks will try to smell everywhere but there!

I'll check out essentialoil.org. Do they send sniffies or samples? I'm so low on patch, but there are so many different grades that I'm afraid to get a couple pounds of the stuff just to be disappointed.

Well, I see the price per pound is down ($99).
