EO Blend

Hi, I'm doing a Lavender Lemongrass Soap but I dont want the strong smell of lemongrass to overpower the lavender what could be a good blending percent?
Thanks...

est it out with toothpicks. 1 toothpick for each part of the scent blend you would like to create.

Go easy on the lemongrass as it can overpower lavender. I would say at least 3 parts lavender to 1 part lemongrass. The toothpick or cotton ball test works great. Be sure to put either in a plastic bag or sealed glass jar for several hours before sniffing.

Thank you I will try it!

Have you tried Lavender & Rosemary as an alternate ? smells very nice. Both have mild yet stimulating effects on the skin - both are antiseptic and beneficial for helping blemishes and dermatitis -

a 3 to 1 ratio of Lavender to Rosemary works well - give it a try.

I agree with the 3:1 Lavender to lemongrass. It will leave a touch of lemongrass and not overpower the lavender. Do test, not all lemongrass and lavenders are equal
