This one is hard to find! But Shay had it, and it’s wonderful to work with in CP soap. Mild odor that doesn’t carry through in finished bars. Very happy with the price including shipping. Poured beautifully from the bottle, arrived in good condition and I’ll get more. I love the few recipes I have that use it, now I’ll make them staples in my line up.
