Frankincense EO in Cold Process Soap

[Bubblesgalore]

Hello, I have bought some frankincense essential oil, it is Indian Serrata type. I am wondering if you know if it holds up well in CP soap? I want to make it now for Christmas. The IFRA document says category 9 for soaps, it can be used at 100% level! But that is obviously not wise. Would you recommend 5%, or more or less I wonder? Thanks for any help.

Hi, is this an eo or fo. Have you searched the forum? Reference "frankensense". I've used this frankensense FO from natures garden. Which I use @3%.

I like to use frankincense. For usage rates, I consult Find Free Essential Oil Blends - Essential Oil Calculator .
