Hello everyone. I was wondering if I can ask you wise people how you determine the amount of fragrance or essential oils you use when making soap.
I have found so many conflicting recommendations. I am currently using 2-3% of the base oils in the recipe, however I notice that soapcalc suggests 50gm per kg, which is 5%. I have read that over 3% is VERY risky and should not be attempted!
I would love to know how you calculate and any tips you have for me on this.
I would also like to know if you measure your fragrance/EOs by volume (Tlbsp etc) or weight (using scales)?
Thanks for your thoughts.
