Vanilla essence in soap making.
by Gwen Misson
(Tasmania)
Are you able to flavour soap by using ordinary vanilla essence or does it have to be an essential oil?
Answer:
Vanilla extract or essence is not recommended for use in soap making and the scent does not really come through.
I suggest using either essential oils or fragrance oils that are specifically made for use in soap making.
