Orris Root benefits
by Pam
(Chico CA)
I was readying your recipe for salt bars and it sounds lovely.
May I ask what orris root adds to the soap and or why it is used?
Thank you so much.
Answer:
Orris root is used to help fix the scent. Adding a small amount of it to the soap base seems to help the scent last longer.
