Hello! New here and trying to get a feel for the forum. I'm pretty new to CP soapmaking and have a couple EO questions.
I made a batch of cinnamon-sweet orange soap (30 oz total oils) and used 0.5 oz cinnamon leaf EO and 1.5 oz sweet orange EO. The result was incredible, but in my reading I'm learning I probably didn't need to use that much? When one oil is strong and another is weaker how do you determine the ratio? I know a lot is trial and error, but are there any general rules?
Another that I did that came out incredible was patchouli a lavender (30 oz total oil, 1 oz patchouli, 1 oz lavender)
I'm thinking of trying patchouli a bergamot next. Total oils in recipe will be 32 oz. I'm thinking of trying to cut down the EO to 1 oz bergamot and 0.5 oz patchouli.
Love the results I've been getting, but afraid I'm overusing expensive oils. Help!
