Cold Process Soap Testing Notes
Tested at 5% FO load with a recipe containing 30% lye concentration (water:lye ratio 2.300:1) with 5% superfat at 90 degrees. Recipe is 33% organic and sustainable palm oil, 33% coconut oil, 16% Canola oil, 14.9% olive oil, 3% castor oil, and 0.01% vitamin E oil.
Acceleration: Slight | Ricing: None | Discoloration: Brown | Trace: Normal | Scent Retention: Pending
Design Notes: Recommend mixing the colorants before adding the fragrance oil. Slight acceleration, but very workable. Great for texturing tops and layered designs. Sets very fast once in the mold. Titanium dioxide may help offset some discoloration; however, it can speed up the trace.

I dont get the banana fragrance
I loved the smell of this one very much. I love the I can smell all components. I like this one for a personal candle.
I was honestly surprised by all the negative reviews because I really love this one. The banana comes through, but it's not super strong or overly sweet, which is exactly what I was hoping for— because I’m not a huge fan of banana or super sweet fragrances.
It's actually my husband's favorite scent out of the collection, which says a lot because he's pretty picky. It's also one of the most unique fragrances I've smelled. I can't even think of anything to compare it to.
I tested it in my own blend of coconut wax/beeswax, and the cold throw and hot throw were both great. I love it so much, I actually placed an order for a bigger bottle earlier today.
This one is ok.. not my favorite. hint of banana
Oil was great OOTB, but had to blend it with another oil once it hit the wax. This fragrance is fully cured in 464 and while testing the hot/cold throw are fine, but I’m not sure this will be a memorable scent for me, It doesn’t scream “oh my gourd, it’s fall”.
Smelled fantastic! I used it to make favors for my bridal shower and everyone loved them!
Not a fan at all , dont smell the banana and what I do smell don't like
Unpopular opinion but- the reviews on this are wild. You absolutely can smell banana and the brown sugar. I love this oil!! I add the banana nut to make the banana stand out more but it’s great on its own!! Love this scent!
This one is definitely a disappointment. Super bummed about it. I definitely was getting worried once I started reading other people’s reviews while I was waiting for my order to get here. I don’t know how one can weaken a banana fragrance oil but it’s really not not there at all. I don’t smell banana at all, maybe brown sugar the most but this one also needs to be heavily worked on and tweaked.
Smells really nice out of the bottle, didnt produce good hot throw in candles.
Lovely. OOB I was worried, but once in wax this fragrance really shines. I do wish it was a little stronger, but otherwise it's delicious!

Using our fragrance oils is super simple, and we’re here to guide you!

For soap-making, our oils are perfect for melt-and-pour, cold process, or hot process soaps. Always follow recommended usage rates and do a small test batch to ensure everything works beautifully.

The recommended fragrance load can vary depending on your project, but here’s a good starting point: for candles, we suggest 6–10% of your total wax weight, depending on your wax type and personal preference. For soaps, always checkIFRA usage rates to ensure your oils are skin-safe and used at the right level. When in doubt, start small and adjust until you find your perfect balance!
