When I first started soapmaking, the book I used only had recipes with essential oils, but I figured you could just swap out essential oils, and with all the confidence in the world I purchased some fairly pricey gardenia essential oil in the hopes of making a gardenia cp soap with it.
After a little research it seems like a) no one is making gardenia soap with gardenia essential oil - it's all f/o b) the floral essential oils may fade in CP soap and c) gardenia f/o (which I assume has some gardenia e/o) appears to accelerate super quickly to the point of seizing.
So.....what do you all think my best options are for this gardenia e/o? Thanks everyone!
