how much essential oils, les than reg fragrance? it is very expensive, but some people want these oils!
 
Hi Honor
This is what Jaaret says; he makes cp soap with natural ingredients, vegetable oils & EO's.
I don't have too much experience with EO's myself...
I constrain the essential oils (EO's) to no more than 2.0-2.5% of the weight of the oils.

And yes, those EO's are expensive, but you can choose to up the price of your EO soaps. I'm sure they will sell just as well when they cost a couple of scents more then your regular fragrance oil soaps :) EO's do have label appeal!
 
Essential Oil Usage

I have found out that using 1 oz of EO per 2 lb batch of CP soap seems to work pretty well...The scent is not overpowering and is very pleasant...Also have used this amount without any problems during the production of the soap (no seizing, accelerated trace, etc.)
