Adding tea tree oil to soap

[littleginger73]

How do you go about doing that? I don't see that option of adding it in on the soap calc.. How much is ok to add per lb? Thanks!

Use it like you would fragrance oil, not fat. Try .5 ( half) ounce PPO. It is strong, you don't need much.

You don't need much. I use a 2 ounce bottle that I buy locally in a hot process 6-8 pound batch. That's the final weight, not the oil weight, you would have to do the math for oil per pound weight.

The first time i tried making, i used only a litte but it seems not working as i hope, so the next time, i use less than the previous and it works

I add .6 zo per pound of oil weight. Tea Tree is usually quite strong
