Natural Fragrance Oils for Soapmaking??

mattiesoap · Feb 4, 2011

Hello,

In surfing the web, noticing some suppliers are offering what they claim are completely NATURAL fragrance oils, 100% botanical based fragrance oils (not e.o.) in scents like "sugar cookie, banana cream, etc. etc." Can this be possible?? Does anyone have experience using in soap? Thanks!!

I tried a few of those when I first started soaping. Don't waste your money, they fade. Also, there is no way they can be natural anyway, IMO.

"natural" has lost all meaning.

they are compounded out of "natural" chemicals. compounded "man made" in my book
and those "natural chemicals" are "extracted & purified". "extracted & purified" = "man made" in my book

it's all a name-game. i don't play that way.

i don't think EOs are particularly natural either, though. with the possible exception of exudates which are scraped off the bark of trees or something. but what do *I* know?
