...there's too much Essential Oil in a soap?
I've always used brambleberry's fragrance calc, always double check my measurements, and always test thoroughly before letting anyone else use the soap, but it made me realize that I actually have no idea what would tip you off if there was too much. Would it just be irritation/burning/rash or something like that? What does it feel/look like when there's too much? What does it do to you?
I keep seeing all these people on recipes and tutorials just saying "keep adding until it smells good," it honestly scares me a bit when I buy soaps with EO made by others, so I'd love to know what some tell-tale signs of over-use may be. Since they are such powerful substances, I do seriously worry about how rubbing too much of it on my skin may affect my health.
Also, what's a good way to ask a seller how much EO they used without seeming like you're snooping or criticizing them? I always feel strange asking, I just assume they're going to think I'm trying to copy their recipe.
