Rating: I used this in a cp soap with a blend of different fruit oils, butter to super fat and fruit essential oil and fragrance. You can really smell the banana in with everything else. It doesn't interfere with colour or change trace.

Rating: I use Banana Powder in my Chocolate Milk Facials, and just received the Banana Powder from New Directions. I am so impressed! First impressed with the price! Next I love the way it is packaged. Not in a plastic bag like the other company I used, but in nice plastic jars. I opened the jar and was very pleased with the fragrance, texture and all around quality of the Banana Powder. So glad I have found this product at this great company! Dorothy, North Carolina
