source for vanillin powder?

[zoe b]

NOT for baking, but I've heard baking supply houses carry it.

I want to use it in soap--I'm a soapmaker--and real vanilla--bean or absolute-- is not only expensive, but it doesn't hold up in soap--vanillin is supposed to be pretty nice as a substute, but I'm having trouble finding it. thanks--Zoe

Check out Creamright.

Actually you can get very very cheap vanilla beans on eBay

I loved creamright, sygyzy, but they have only real vanilla.

And thanks for suggesting ebay, Glori

Vanilla just gets "cooked" by the heat generated by the saponification process and it changes and loses a lot of its scent--vanillin holds up to the heat and ends up smelling really nice.

still looking...Zoe
