I wondered why I wasn't seeing you so much Hun, I love watching you soap, will you be making some videos about essential oils?

[@whitemilksoapandcandles]

No, I am no expert on essential oils and I just don't enough to go giving advise

[@MammaCass]

That's fair enough, sounds like the business is doing well. Best of luck with it x

Simple and beautiful. I heard you mention essential oils. I am a soap maker in the US and have seen so many usage rates for essential oils in soap. They range from 3-5% essential oils of just the oils weight, no water or lye weight included. This leaves a very very faint scent. I have also seen 3-5% essential oil usage for the complete recipe weight, water and lye weights included. I'd like to know your thoughts on this. Lavender and citrus oils fade so much the higher rates help, while patchouli seems to not need as much. Thanks for any advice you can share :)

keely munoz I find essential soaps does a great video explaining usage rates for essential oils xx

[@keelymunoz6960]

Cassie Bird thanks!

[@whitemilksoapandcandles]

Yep you are right, a good way to look at it is " you get what you pay for, meaning if they are cheap they will fade, if they are expensive they shouldn't, Lemon balm is a lot stronger then just plain old Lemon, when using citrus always try adding, another that is stronger....

[@MammaCass]

white milk soap and candles I never thought of lemon balm, I will have to get some as I love citrus soaps x

Copha? Is it hydrogenated vegetable oil, like crisco in the states? Hmmm.. I see..it's hydrogenated coconut oil.

[@whitemilksoapandcandles]

yep it is, fine on the skin, but some Euro countries have banned it because not so good for your arteries, so dont eat chocolate, donuts, patisserie, and all that fatty stuff
