Making your own Rose infused Oil when to add to soap?

[kimnkell]

I have a question... I made my own infused oil by picking fresh rose petals and covering them with vegetable oil and would like to know when making my soap do I count this as rose oil when calculating my recipe or do I just add it at trace like an essential oil?

You can do it as either, since the lye will eat whatever oil it wants to. I just wanted to say though, that if you're hoping for the rose scent to come through in the soap, it will most likely not survive the saponification process.

When working with herbs, I infuse them in the main oil that I use for soaping. Which is calculated in the lye calculator as such.

I would calculate the values of the base oil.

For example, if I infused rose petals in coconut oil, I would calculate the recipe using values of coconut oil.
Hope the info helps.
