Making cold process soap at home with a very naughty fragrance oil. Making handmade soap at home can be fun, but occasionally you meet a soap fragrance oil that refuses to behave the way you want it to in your homemade soap. Still, where there's a will, there's a way...

Joanna, The Soap Gal, just put up a video about fragrance oils seizing. She suggested blend your oils & lye to a thin trace then use a whisk to stir in the fragrance oil. Maybe that would help. They turned out pretty though.

I already tried the usual ways and had much worse problems! The moment the fragrance hit the batter (and I usually stop blending at emulsion, so my batter is always pretty thin before I add fragrance), it clumps up, which is why I thought I'd try adding the fragrance into the oils first, kind of hoping mixing it through the oils would sort of dilute it so the clumping wouldn't be as severe. I also used a higher percentage of water this time too. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as the last 2 times I made this honey soap trying it this way.

I hate it when fragrance oils do this 😢. Which fragrance was it and have you managed anyway to tame it? I have heard lecithin can help, but I haven’t tried it as my assessment wouldn’t allow it. I have had a bit of success with adding some of my liquid oils to the fragrance…sort of diluting the fragrance and adding at trace. 💕

It's a honey fragrance.I already tried adding it at trace last year and it went really weird, not really ricing but very lumpy and after saponification there were these huge oozing pockets where (I guess) the biggest lumps were. The soap was a complete write off, basically. If something goes wrong once, I first assume it's something I've done. If it happens twice, I suspect the fragrance oil. So, I opted to try it this way instead.
