You're welcome!

is there a list for essential oils?

I wasn't able to find anything on the Teach Soap forum but this link might help:

Keep in mind that these are just broad guidelines and that the actual shelf life of any essential oil can be quite variable.

thanks so much, you are awsome.

You're welcome. And I'm not so awesome, I've just been lurking around in this forum long enough to have some convenient bookmarks.
