Teach Soap

The very first scented soap I made was cinnamon. I learned to soap with Norma Coney's book (I know, I know, I'll go sit iin the corner when I'm done. ) Norma also used to sell soapmaking supplies, and she had the loveliest cinnamon FO - smelled like the spice.

Well, Norma got out of that line of work, and I searched for years to find another cinnamon that I liked. Almost every single one of them smell (to me, anyway) like Red Hots. I got so frustrated I got on the Internet, tracked down Norma, called her, and said, "where did you get that stuff???" And she directed me to The Chemistry Store. So I bought a bottle of their FO called "Cinnamon Sticks".

I was pretty sure I was going to be happy with it when I smelled it. But tonight, as I opened my bottle of ground cinnamon to make a swirl in my soap, I realized that what I was smelling in the bottle of ground cinnamon was identical to what I was smelling in my soap pot.

Sigh.

I love happy endings!

I have several FOs from The Chemistry Store and they've all been very nice. I'll have to try the cinnamon sticks.

Thank for sharing, Anita! I had never heard of The Chemistry Store before. I took a quick look at their website and they have some fun stuff! My mom loves cinnamon scents, and it would be great for the holidays, too. I am a bit wary of cinnamon EO, so it's nice to know that there's a good FO out there.

I'm posting pictures of soap made with this FO I've been babbling about under the "Show Off Your Creations" topic in the CP forum.
