We experienced excessive acceleration but no separation. Initially, the batter was very fluid and reached a light trace slowly. A few more pulses of the stick blender and we had mashed potato textured soap. We scooped the chunks of soap out of the pot and pressed it firmly into the mold as best we could. Within 15 minutes, the soap was almost in a full gel and the surface had cracked open. After 24 hours we cut the soap into bars and found they were smooth except in the corners where we did not press down firmly enough. We observed that the soap reached a full gel and the outer rim of the soap discolored to a bright yellow while the middle remained unchanged. The scent was pleasantly strong. After 30 days the soap discolored to a dark tan color and the scent remained strong. We recommend hand stirring in this fragrance at a very light trace.

Love this!

I love this just made my tester for this and 1 other i do candles, wax melts and diffusers. didn't notice this isn't able to be used by diffusers :( i usually try to offer a diffuser option most of my candles and wax melt is these a reason for the diffuser not to be capable? or can i simply use less than the 25% recommended for most diffusers or anything of a simular scent that could be used within a diffuser to match this scent?

Thanks for reviewing this fragrance! We don't currently recommend Sea Salt and Orchid for reed diffusers, as its IFRA maximum usage rate is below the amount most makers use and enjoy for best results. You can test up to the maximum fragrance load listed in Category 10A of the Sea Salt and Orchid IFRA Certificate. If you find that too soft, we'd recommend testing a similar fragrance from our diffuser base-approved fragrances here: candlescience.com/fragrance-oil-finder/?Diffuser+Base+Approved=diffuser_base_approved:true

This is such a wonderfully balanced scent! So far I have only used this in melt and pour soaps. I will definitely make a candle line out of this as well! This is already a favorite

This one turns out amazing every time! We use it in 464 soy wax candles with 3.5-inch diameter jars with CD-8 wicks. It is a bestseller all year long!

I make tealights with this fragrance oil & my whole family is obsessed. I use a cocosoy blend and a do 10% FO. Please never discontinue this one! It is by far my most requested candle!
