So I've been looking around the net for certain oils/butters and other stuff to test in new projects. One of them is camellia sinensis seed oil which unfortunately BB doesn't carry! I found New Directions Aromatics the other day after watching a soap maker on YouTube made some stuff with their brand oils. They seem pretty pricey especially to ship here in Seattle so I don't want to buy from them until I'm sure they're good! Also I notice some butters and oils have an organic version that's more expensive and I wanted some people's opinion on if it's worth it! Thanks

If you can do their minimum, they are fine. I have used them many times with no problems. I don't buy the organic versions as I would have to charge more for my soaps. In soaps, I don't notice any difference between the two. Just label appeal.

I've used NDA in the past, but their minimum is too high for me now. Between minimum purchase prices and ridiculous shipping I had to basically stop making soap

Beautiful soaping room now sits there, empty and unused.
