Resulted in a very nice

"Resulted in a very nice soap."

— Katherine D. (5/5)

Smells great but a bit disappointed

"This product smells amazing. I was worried it would be too heavy on floral but it is not. It's sweet, mild floral and musk. I used in M&P and bath salts. My complaint is that it is really faint. It is not strong enough and I'm afraid it will not hold up for any length of time, which is sad because it does smell amazing oob."

Smells soooooo good!

"Being part Syrian, I wanted to try and make Aleppo soap. I have yet to actually make it, but the laurel berry oil smells like a better version of pine tar to me. It smelled so good that I had to buy more."

— Michael (5/5)

Good for a very specific thing

"Okay, I haven't yet used this for its intended use (gonna try an aleppo soap recipe), but after what just happened, I probably will never, and I will never run out of this. It's summer in Texas, which means my yard is full of things that want to kill me and also leave itchy bites--fleas, tiger mosquitos, and horseflies. They bite my ankles and get me through my pants, and every night, I lay in bed and scratch myself to death. I just remembered that I've got a pound of this stuff I haven't yet made into soap and have read that it's good for itching. I got up and dabbed it on my hands and then rubbed it into my ankles, calves, and behind the knees. It's a very dry-feeling oil, no greasy feel whatsoever. I rubbed more in, still no greasy feel. All this is secondary--itch VANISHED. POOF. Like someone turned a fire extinguisher on my legs. I rubbed some on my face, cause hey, let's go nuts, why not? no grease and everything feels crazy soft. It stinks, which I knew when I bought it, all laurel oil stinks. This one smells like Port-a-pit chicken. I don't care, I'll just be a little hungry, and otherwise sleep like a baby who is not clawing at bug bites. I'm not putting this in soap. Why waste it? It's going into a lotion, and so be it if I smell like smoked chicken. Life is choices, and smoked chicken is delicious, and I choose not scratching myself awake at 2 am and smelling like smoked chicken."

Great Addition

"Used in an Aleppo style castile CP soap. The smell is very earthy and woodsy and creates a green creamy bar of soap. The odor mellows out with time. I also added to a charcoal face bar. Will definitely order again."

— Richard (5/5)

Love this

"I've been eyeballing this oil for awhile. I wanted to make an Aleppo inspired soap for years, but I couldn't bring myself to simply because of the price. I am so glad I bit the bullet and purchased this. I did make soap, but not the traditional bar. It turned out fantastic. I make a liquid soap paste, but I leave it undiluted. Anybody that makes liquid soap knows blending oils and lye to trace can take a very long time compared to bar soap. Adding this to olive pomace did not seems to speed trace at all. The color is a deep green which complements the fragrance. The scent is different. I smell pine, my daughter smells faint ginger. I just know it has done amazing things for our problem skin. I know this is one oil I will never be without."

Q&A

SAP (NaOH) value PLEASE! Thanks: The value for Laurel Berry oil is 0.144.
Please help, I cannot find this Oil on the lye calculator, is there any Oil on it similar I can enter in place of it or something: You can substitute any oil in our lye calculator for the purpose of determining the amount of lye water necessary.
It seems like my Laurel Berry oil is separating, some of it is hardening to the sides of the gallon jug. I only received it last month. Can you tell me why this might be? The temp in the room I store oils in is 71F.: This can be typical for Laurel Berry Oil, as the oil is very thick from the expressed pulp of the berries. We just recommend thoroughly mixing before use.
Is this an infused or expressed oil? If it is infused, what type of oil are the laurel berries infused in?: This is extracted.
Is this laurel berry oil sold by weight or volume?: This is sold by weight.
