Essential oils

[danali]

Hi,

I'd like to ask what is the ration of essential oil to put in m&p base?

Many thanks!

It would depend on the EO. They all have usage rates for soap. I would start with .5 oz ppo for most. But make sure you are not going over the IFRA rate allowed.

Check out this fragrance calculator at Brambleberry for some idea, make sure you select m&p from the drop down: http://www.brambleberry.com/Pages/Fragrance-Calculator.aspx

A lot will depend on the base you use. We use approx 3% in our base. If it leaks you will know. Peppermints, cinnamon's, clove etc will take around 1.5-2%.
