Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 Hello All: In an attempt to make a naturally scented vanilla soap, I've decided to pursue Vanilla Absolute. Although I've never worked with it before, I don't know the pros and cons of this substance. I would appreciate any input, ratios, tips, and tricks.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 That will be one spendy bar of soap! lol I would only recommend that when you make the soap, you do HP, that way you don't have to use as much absolute. Also, when I made mine, I used ground vanilla beans to swirl it with. Not sure if it helped with scent at all. Next time I make it I plan to try adding a bit of vanilla bean infused oil after the cook to see if that scents it at all. Also, be sure to ask the supplier if the absolute is liquid or a hard resin. I got some that came from France and it was hard as a rock, which makes it harder to deal with IMO.
