Hello Friends,

Does anybody have a good idea of when to add EO's? I have noticed that if I add them in the base soap that has cooled off I often get cloudy soap from adding the essentielle oils.

Is it better to add them before the soap cools down? if yes is there an ideal temperature?

Thank you so much
Michael
 
Is this for melt and pour?
ETA: reread, of course it is :) I don't know much about that.
 
I add mine when the diluted soap is warm to the touch. Not hot. Not cold. But when I put a bare finger in it, and it is bath temperature.

I would have answered this sooner if it had been in the liquid soap forum.

Good point, thank you. Next batch I will do that and mesure the temp.:)
