Hi everyone! I've been soap making for 2 years and it's been a long road. I've only just found a recipe I'm happy but in the last few batches I've added too much essential oil for my over-sensitive skin. Although I used less than 3%, my skin becomes dry and irritated. After much experimenting I am 100% sure that it is the essential oils causing this and that it's the same with any combination of EO used at this percentage.
My question is, is there any chance that the Essential oils will fade over time and become less irritating in the same way that the scent fades over time? Or should I just throw out all my wonderful natural soaps? I don't even want to give them away just on the off chance that someone has the same reaction.
I have at least 50 so some advice would be really appreciated! Thank you!
