Using essential oils
by Angela
(East Texas)
If you find a recipe with the oils you want, yet want to change the essential oil it calls for, will the recipe still work?
Answer:
You most certainly can change the scent. Essential oils and fragrance oils are extras that are added into the recipe...the recipe doesn't depend on them to work.
As I mentioned in your last question Adding Essential Oils you can add anywhere from 2% - 5% of the weight in oils.
I also strongly recommend making a much smaller batch than 8 lbs.
Good luck,
Cathy
