You must grow a ton of herbs to be able to extract the oil!!! Where do you buy your base? I just made small batch of lanolin lotion a week ago. boy-o did it sell out fast ... all to fiber folks that wanted the sheepy smell of the lanolin!!

I use unscented lanolin. I have sheep I can sniff. LOL I can't imagine wanting to smell like sheep. Now, newborn lambs - that is a scent that you never forget. It locks itself in your memory and is one you try to capture but can never quite do it.

My fiber ladies love the sheepy smell! Most don't have sheep of their own though

I have no idea where my wife gets her base, its from some organic place in san fran. I will find out for you. and we have TONS of lavader! it covers teh hills by our land. ANd the herbs are seasonal (obviously) of what i can grow in the large feild by the house. I am lucky enough to have an old copper boiler to render the oil down.

When do i send this to you and to what address, please PM me with ship to and whom info......

Im excited to try all these soaps!

we will send closer to mid march to end march.. soap (unlike lotion) needs to cure.. so a few of our soaps are not ready yet

I will PM everyone on March 15th.. then they will have two weeks to send and I will send back! OH and just so you know.. I will be putting them up in my new cabinets that I have made away from the kids/chickens/and other various pets.. and we dont smoke so they will be safe
