Finished Essential Oil Blend
I love all kinds of scented products. Perfumes, potpourri, lotions, body scrubs, etc. If it is scented, I am almost guaranteed to love it. That being said, I am funny in that I like my soaps to have a clean scent. Masculine, feminine or unisex, soap scents all need to smell fresh and clean. So when I was at the HSCG Conference in Tampa, Florida; I was more than delighted to smell the soaps and other products that the attendees had made. One soap in particular stuck out to me. It had a delightful blend of essential oils, including Lavender, Oakmoss and Patchouli.
I keep dreaming of the scent and today I wanted to recreate it with my own personal twist to it. Tomorrow we will make soap with the essential oil blend that we create today. You won’t want to miss out! Don’t forget! Father’s Day is coming up and this is the perfect scent to surprise Dad with.

Bottling Essential Oil Blend
So Taylor
Did you make a soap with these essential oils? And if so how did they come out?
Diana,
I did make a soap with this blend and I am in love! I really want to make a batch at home where I don’t have to share.
I used it at a moderate rate and I am very please with how it turned out. I am not sure I would like it at a strong usage
rate but I have been known to be surprised.
Cheers!
Taylor

CAn I add superfat oil to my recipie after the oil has been stirred to a creamy consistency. Also, is the superfat quantity over and above the oils called for in the recipie. Thank you
Gisele,
I calculate for all the oils I put in my batch, regardless of the time when I add them, this helps prevent soaps that have 18 or 20% excess fat. I find it is best to add special oils at the end of mixing but not after I get a full trace. And don’t ever let those special oils remain on the counter after you have filled your mold! Forgetting about the oil is a huge drawback to adding oils near the end of your mixing.

Can you add this blended scent in the catalog? I really like it.
Now that is a thought! I will ask the R&D team to evaluate this as an idea.
