   Might make soap this weekend. We need to restock, but I also like to give them out to family around Christmas. I have some olive oil that I cooked magnolia flowers in that I want to try and use up, although I'm not sure how well the scent will come through. Personally I think it still smells more like olive oil than magnolia. I also have a christmas oil mix that I've used to make holiday soaps for a few years now that is always a hit.

     I am going to try to make soap for Christmas gifts this year. It's my first time. 🤞
     The best oil to use for oil/scent extraction is fractionated coconut oil. There is no coconut scent, it stays in liquid form and it never goes rancid.

     @TinyHouse4Life that's the stuff that stays liquid above 70 right? I have coconut oil that I think melts at 92. I tried making an extract of the Magnolia's from that a few years ago but it got kinda gross. I'll have yo pick up some of the fractionated stuff for the next time it blooms

     It stays liquid no matter the temperature. It is a thin oil, almost like water. It can be somewhat pricey compared to your standard carrier oil but it will last literally forever. Olive oil and grapeseed go rancid very quickly unless refrigerated

     @TinyHouse4Life Good to know. I have a lot of things I'd like to try and extract scents/oils from and so far my attempts have been mediocre.

     You'd probably have better luck on getting the scent you're looking for by steam distilling the essential oil from the petals. The EO will be the strongest scent and then put that into the carrier oil.

     @TinyHouse4Life this would be ideal.

     Knowing your normal posts, the "make soap" made me immediately assume "Fight Club" reference. 😂

     @niclas :laughing: I do actually make soap, and I use animal fats, but it's our cousin the pig that I think makes a good bar.
