Lemon Butter

[gsc]

I want to make lemon bar soap CPOP. I've ready where you need to be careful about how much citrus you add to you recipe. I have lemon butter - has anyone ever used it and how much did you add. I don't see it on a soap calculator. I also plan on using lemon infused olive oil and lemon EO.

But you should check your own supplier.

I wouldn't know why you should be careful about the amount of citrus in your soap, as it is a rinse off product,
or it must be about the "limonene" amount (allergen).Those limonenes are the super cleansing factor in the soap. Makes it a perfect gardener's or kitchen soap. I don't know what your goal is, but citrus scents are top notes and the scent will fade rapidly, unless you anchor it with another EO. I heard positive reports on the five fold EOs. IME adding some zest may help the scent stick too. (Added to the lye it gives a nice lemony colour to the soap.) I love (natural) citrus soaps, but if for the scent, I rather rely on the FOs. Just my 2 cts.

I just had a look, and now I want some to try.For soap thogh sometimes I think super fancy ingredients are wasted, as it is a wash off product.
In creams, lotions, balms etc go for it.
