I haven't tried sesame oil yet. Jojoba and avocado are fine. I haven't been doing this long enough to have any favorites :) Thanks for the fast response!

What about jojoba and avocado oil? If you are OK with these oils, then try 1 oz Sesame, 1 oz Avocado and 2 oz Jojoba Oil. The reason I am making jojoba as the 2 oz, is that Avocado oil is heavier than Almond. And the Jojoba is lighter than Mac. So, I figure this way will be much closer to the original in viscosity. Do you have oils you prefer? So, is the sesame oil OK? What about jojoba and avocado oil?

I would highly recommend that you e-mail our Technical Support Team (techsup@thesage.com) and ask for their assistance. I know that they will need your complete recipe formulations. They can give you preservative recommendations that will suit your recipes best. Andee Jaellra-

Another preservative question for ya'll. Can I use Liquid Germall Plus instead of Germaben II and Germaben II E? I'd like to find one preservative that will work in the majority of recipes I'll be doing. I'll be ordering some more stuff today or tomorrow and thought I'd better check before I buy it! Thanks!

The Kailua Bay blended with Vanilla Cream sounds yummy. Let me know if you have any other questions. Andee Jaellra,

I used the Easy Does it Coconut Cream recipe a cpl weeks ago that turned out great, as well as the one for the Orchids and Cream mp soap. I tossed in some of the Kailua Bay fragrance with the Vanilla Cream FO too, smells divine and I just love the soap. Made a batch of the sugar scrub last night too, with brown sugar in one and white sugar in the other, both again turned out great! Can't wait to try even more of the recipes from MMS. Thanks so much for the recipes you guys provide as well as the great support staff you have, and all around amazing company!

You usually want a preservative if the product you are making has a combination of oil and water, like lotions and creams. The water helps as a place that the bacteria grow from all the hands that reach into a jar of cream. All oil products such as lip balms, Tina's Lanolin Cream and Mary's Elbow Cream don't require the preservative because there is no water in the recipe. Cold process soap doesn't require preservatives because the oil goes through a chemical change. I hope this helped. Going off the recipes I remember, that would be correct.
