I think it depends on the source of the pomace. I wasn't aware of any
chemicals used for pomace but I haven't really researched that aspect of it.
I think Cistus oil is CO2 extracted? I haven't tried cistus yet? I believe
it has a sweet hay-like scent?
I have my eyes on some vanilla absolute, white pepper and green pepper oils
at the moment. I am also looking for a good seaweed absolute. I want to
create a great beachy scent
Does the beeswax really harden the bar? I must run it through SoapMaker to
see what the final bar qualities are. I assume it is only at about 2% of
the volume? You could use bleached beeswax or substitute Macadamia wax
which is great to use for people with allergies to bee products.

I like the idea of a lighter colour oil for soap so it does not dictate the
colour so much. As you know Ross sometimes when you plan what colour you
want you wind up with a different colour. I had that last week. I set out
to make a pink soap and wound up with a caramel soap. I had used a little
to much beeswax and honey which interacted.
Correct me if I am wrong Ross but I have tended to stay clear of Pomace
olive oil as being the last pressings is chemically extracted and therefore
slightly contaminated???
Having said that I know that some essential oils are also chemically
extracted like Rock Rose and I adore this essential oil and would love to
get my hands on some bulk.
