What would be a good scent or scent combination for a marbled black and white soap?
@deniseking8435 ай бұрын
I have been making just simple soap for family for almost three years. Something woodsy I think. We like an equal blend of Rosemary eucalyptus and orange 10x essential oils.
@centralavesoapworks5 ай бұрын
@@deniseking843 I have such a hard time with essential oils scents "sticking" in soap. I need to research on what scent blends work best. I did find this on one of my soap forums. Maybe I will try one of these blends... Lavender 40/42/Lavandin dominant: 50% lavandin, 38% clary sage (amazon), 12% patchouli (Indonesian) - more floral than the next one, almost smells like I added geranium (a puzzler); I don’t love it enough… 50% lavandin, 25% patchouli, 25% peppermint - gentle lavender/fresh, not peppermint forward; I like this one better than above and may try adding some amyris to see if it helps to strengthen the lavender scent 50% lavender 40/42, 38% peppermint, 12% anise - ever so slightly lavender floral, peppermint, anise; will use again, probably with lavandin 50% lavandin, 25% bergamot, 12.5% amyris, 12.5% geranium - a variation of EOCalc’s French Kiss - nice, gentle floral; have used in past with good scent retention (> 1 yr) and will likely use again Clary Sage dominant: 50% clary sage, 25% lavandin, 25% amyris - soft lavender that leans a little herbal; nice; scent retention could be an issue and I will probably try adding some amyris and also try a different clary sage for comparison since I bought the bottle I had on Amazon. Tea Tree dominant: 45% tea tree, 25% peppermint, 15% lavender 40/42, 15% eucalyptus globulus - EOCalc’s Revive - fresh, minty, tea tree; I’ve been using this in ocean-themed soaps for three years now and like it. Citrus dominant: 50% litsea cubeba (Brambleberry), 25% rosemary, 18% lime, 7% spearmint - “Irish Spring” possibly from Pinterest - fresh, a little minty with a hint of lime, I’m not sure that I can smell the rosemary (based on EOCalc, this is fine at 3%); I like this one and will use again. 75% litsea cubeba, 25% lemon eucalyptus (BB) - nicely toned down from straight lemon eucalyptus, citrusy with lemon eucalyptus in the background; IMPORTANT NOTES: Lemon eucalyptus is not in EOCalc, but “Tisserand and Young do not indicate any known hazards” per Aromaweb. On eocalc, litsea and lemongrass both go into the red range at >50% of a blend for 3% usage rate. I am one of those people that likes lemon eucalyptus, so I may increase it to 50% of the blend or I will keep it at 25% by adding another eo, like lime, to the blend. 50% litsea cubeba, 25% orange,17% bergamot, 8% basil - gentle citrus with a hint of basil, (this one is in safe usage range at 3%); I like it and will use again. 50% orange 10x (BB), 38% cederwood (Virginian), 12% patchouli - I don’t love it Cedar dominant: 50% bergamot, 50% cedarwood - a nice way to use cedar; I think the thanks go to @Zing for the inspiration Floral blends: 50% palmarosa, 25% litsea cubeba, 12.5% geranium, 12.5% ylang ylang III - floral, but a bit weak; try again… 26% palmarosa, 24% patchouli, 19% grapefruit (pink), 18% geranium, 8% cinnamon leaf, 5% pepper (black) - EOCalc’s Black Rose by Kenna; floral with spice; I like it and will use again 20% lavandin, 20% bergamot, 20% rosemary, 10% orange, 10% litsea, 10% ylang ylang III, 10% peppermint - an Aveda Shampure dup inspired by Pinterest; not strong at the 5+ month mark, but acceptable for soap that hasn’t been stored in a box; at this point it smells mostly like rosemary mint to my nose; will use again 33% geranium, 33% patchouli, 20% amyris, 14% palmarosa - sticking well in a soap made in February 2022. Floral patchouli; I like it and have had positive feedback, including from a male friend who loves patchouli; I think I could drop the geranium percentage back a bit and still get a nice scent that sticks. 36% lavender 40/42, 23% petitgrain, 19% ylang ylang III, 19% bergamot - EOCalc’s Fallen by Kenna; floral with a slightly spicy note (possibly from the ylang ylang?); this one really sticks. I came across a couple of bars that I’ve had stashed away since January 2021 and the scent is still strong. Will use again!

Like you, I prefer CP, but I do HP a few times a year. While it is safe to use as soon as it hardens, it still has a lot of water so it will dissolve faster. It's usually recommended to let it sit one to two weeks to dry. You should also use the full water recommended by the lye calculator. Your end result looks nice. Good job! By the way, I love that apple sage fragrance.

Im one who prefers the hot process...crock pot size is fine, plenty of room for the batter to expand, i like the term champagne bubbles rather than volcano, more positive...dont be scared to aðd more water, you loose a lot of the water during the cooking...hot process does not have to be rustic..

Thank you for the feedback! I definitely need to change my recipe; it needs to be more fluid for sure. I will continue this journey until I'm 100% pleased with a batch.

@centralavesoapworks i wish you every success... after you have hit the gel stage, don't stop there and mold, this is where you can add some water and smooth it back out...I use 1 tablespoon of water to 200g of oil, I add to this salt, powdered sugar and citric acid, if I'm using clay I also add it here, may need a little more water, then fragrance... and hand mixer not stick at this point, this will make it a floater! I'm excited for you, happy soaping...

I thought hot process still had to be”cure” (dry) for 4-6 weeks to be hard enough not to dissolve so fast, the same as cold process soap? I’m just not a fan of the hot process, but I know that so many are! I’m glad you enjoyed it!❤
@centralavesoapworks7 ай бұрын
For sure the longer you cure it, the harder and longer it will last but it's nice to know, that in a pinch, you can use this a lot sooner than 6 weeks. Definitely will keep trying. I, at first, didn't like that rustic look but it's really growing on me. Not giving up CP soap though!
