Scenting soap

by Diana
(Grass Valley, Ca)

The soap I make loses its scent almost immediately. What do you recommend mixing it with? Should I use essential oil or fragrance oil? Can you recommend how much to use in a batch?

Answer:

Diana,

If you visit my Essential Oils page you will find information about how much essential oil to use in a batch of soap (the same concept applies to fragrance oils) as well as information about fixatives that can be used to prolong your scents.

Be aware that some scents are not as long lasting as others.

For scent blending information visit my Blending scents page.

Good luck and have fun,

Cathy
