I am so impressed George, your video is wonderful! I thoroughly enjoyed it, and learned a lot, in particular about using that Cedarwood to anchor my blends! Having personally smelled and used your soaps, I know how amazing they are. I'm keen to use some of your blends in my future videos! I think you have a great face, great expression, and a perfect voice for youtube! Not to mention your incredible knowledge that so many people can benefit from. Great to see you took the plunge into your first 'talkie' video - well done 🙌 Elly

[@DawnOrganics]

Thanks so much for your kind words🙏 that's great to hear. Blend away ☺️ it was good to take the plunge 🙏

Hello Elly i have learned from you about the tea tree and rosemary blend. . .😊😊

[@24shwetaa]

Hello George and Elly. I am new to soap making and am yet to try my first batch. I have been following Elly's videos and stumbled upon the interview that you both did. I cannot even begin to tell you how inspired I am just listening to you'll speak. I want to thank you both for the generosity you have in sharing your knowledge. Much love to you both from India 🙏🏻💞

[@DawnOrganics]

Thanks so much Shweta. Very kind of you, glad to hear it. Thanks for watching and tuning in ☺️🙏

[@joyaghosh2940]

@@24shwetaa Hey go for it I am soaping for just over a year. It's so satisfying. And am really surprised that you get all most all the ingredients in India. From EOs to clays to the botanicals. I started by watching Elly for the very first time.

[@DawnOrganics]

Thank you kindly, much appreciated 😊🙏🙏🙏

[@Artisan-Jane-Creations]

You are my godsend George!! I found you through your appearance on Elly. I am new to soap making in practice and have been watching all the greats across youtube for awhile now, gathering info here and there for when I am ready for the much anticipated deep dive. I find you (and Elly) to be the most informative and helpful, especially with all the nuances involved that often get missed by others. I especially wish to express my gratitude for this particular video on Essential Oils and anchoring them. No one else talks about this and you have saved myself and many others who wish to stick with what is natural from that long arduous expensive rabbit hole of experimenting and wasting of ingredients so to speak. Experimenting is always good but great to not enter it so blindly now thanks to you! P.S. your humble and gentle manner make watching and learning a pleasure, so good move by you that you embraced your true value and revealed yourself to the world on here.

[@DawnOrganics]

Thanks so much for commenting and the kind words Jane. I am really glad I decided to do this video, I was really hesitant, it was actually Elly that encouraged me to do so and get in front of the camera to overcome my fears! I felt it would help many others and of course I love aromatherapy blending especially in soap making. It is by far the most expensive input in soap both for businesses and soap hobbyists alike, and can easily accumulate to a considerable amount especially with trial & error. Thanks again much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

Dear George.. It is such a valuable, highly valuable lecture about Essential Oil Blend. I faced all the problems you pointed out in the beginning of your talk. I was looking for solutions but couldn’t find all these information together in book or article! Thank you very for your time and efforts.

[@DMB088]

There's so much information in this video! I need to watch again and take notes. I'm just getting into soapmaking and want to use all natural ingredients, so I needed this info. I had everything else sorted out except for the fragrance. Thank you so much for taking the time and making this video!

[@janetm2969]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your experience! It really does match my own experiences in soaping with EOs over the last 25 years 😊 But I'm always learning. Just finished a round of trials with Sweet Orange, which I rarely use, and had to figure out how to hold the scent, even with patchouli in the blend! Atlas Cedarwood is my usual go-to (and also my favourite scent in the universe! 😊) but this time I tried to recreate all the individual parts of the scent of oranges, using petitgrain and bergamot, and black pepper to synthesize everything together. It was a very interesting process!

[@DawnOrganics]

Thanks Janet. I love cedarwood also it's my most favourite EO followed by patchouli and clove. Yeah orange 5 or 10 fold is really the only way to go in cold process soap. Will have a hard time making regular orange stick. It's too fragile. It's always fun learning and applying especially something like essential oils. Learning never stops with soap making or anything really 🙏🙏🙏

[@SimpleBonVivant]

Thank you so much for sharing your in-depth knowledge of mixing essential oils. I am SO excited to try using base and top notes.... I've been very basic in my soap making until now, and I'd love to try your combinations so that the scent will actually last! I'm very thankful that you took the plunge to make this video (even though I'm quite late to the game in finding it!)

[@DawnOrganics]

Thanks for the comment and for watching, glad you're going to give it a try, you'll love how they turn out 🙏

[@sharonforbes5090]

So I have a story to share that is an important lesson I learned today. I was being slack and was making soap today without gloves on. Ok, so I made the water with the sugar dissolved into it, added the sodium ascorbate to that set aside and got the oils done and additives etc. I then added the lye (caustic soda) and as I stirred it it reacted to the sodium ascorbate and fizzed up out of the glass jug and burned my hand............so after much cold water and vinegar and in pain which i ignored (soapaholic) I remade the sugar lye water and put the sodium ascorbate in the oils instead and all has worked out well. I then cleaned up and got my husband to drive me to the chemist - we live out of town on a property. Painful lesson, so don't get slack and now we know how the sodium ascorbate reacts and it doesn’t go into the water portion............I have made sure I have my gloves with the soap gear........

[@DawnOrganics]

Oh dear, not good!. Yes any acid will cause a reaction with the lye, key is to add slowly and little bit at a time and stir. Otherwise it can bubble out of the vessel. Bet it would have been painful too, it really does burn! It also happens with citric acid, so best to take your time when adding. Really important to wear gloves and goggles. I'm sure it won't happen again. Take much care in future and hope you're okay 🙏

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I dabble in soap making for home use and love using essential oils but am often disappointed with the lasting power of the scents. I appreciate your detailed explanation on base notes, and how they anchor top notes..i had always been slightly confused by this, I thought the base would over power, but now understand it depends on the percentage used. So a big thank you. I have also had a look at your website and excited to try some of you soaps.

[@DawnOrganics]

Greetings Launa, thanks so much for the comment 🙏 yeah I had also been disappointed at the beginning, I couldn't find much information either so it really was going back to the drawing board to figure it out. Glad I did, also happy to save others the trouble, it can be really disheartening it not turning out the way you want. Thanks so much for checking out the website.

Hi George nice to finally see you. Fantastic video. So informative. Blending EOs and knowing how much is a challenge for a new soap maker. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge. Btw I could listen to you all day. Keep up the great work and look forward to watching more. 😊

Thanks so much for the kind words 🙏 at the beginning I was very nervous 😅 but I got into it after first 10 minutes 🙏 glad you enjoyed and found it useful

Just watched your 1st Video here in New York, great job! To see The actual blending of any type of demonstration on camera is great. So if you're contemplating Demonstrating on camera, or just talking through the video, I think it's always best to demonstrate on camera. But once again the video was great and I learned a lot about Mixing Essential oils.

Thanks so much for commenting 🙏 I thought be best to do both as it is a very big topic, wanted to pass on as much knowledge as I could regarding EO Blending for CP as there isn't a lot out there. 🙏

Thank you George for a brilliant understanding of using essential oils you have certainly given me the confidence to create my own instead of store bought mixed varieties. In saying that could you please share where you buy your essential oils from? I notice in your other videos you are very gracious in sharing where you purchase everything but I can not find your supplier for essential oils. Looking forward to your next video, you are a natural.

[@DawnOrganics]

Hi Sharon, thanks a lot for the kind words and commenting :) I source all my essential oils from a few suppliers, Heirloom Body Care, Australian Wholesale Oils, Naked Press, Candle Supply, Aussie Candle Supplies, Aussie Soap Supplies & New Directions. Also I get all my clays from them too, hope this helps

This was invaluable for a beginner soap maker. I have been so disappointed when an expensive EO blend didn't transfer well or last in a soap bar. Your very patient explanation and the back up slides were a great help to my note-taking. I have been trying all year to anchor a decent lavender scent - and will be trying again with my next batch feeling much more confident. Thank you very much.

[@DawnOrganics]

Hello there, and thanks for reaching out and the kind words. I totally understand and was in the same boat at the beginning. Try a 3% lavender and 1% cedarwood, it creates a long lasting aroma. Also add some clays also! they help anchor too. Let me know how it goes would love to hear :)

[@sherrihempel5671]

Great video ! So informative and interesting - well done - Thank you 😊 🙏

[@DawnOrganics]

Thank you 🙏 happy blending 😁

[@jojopaul6136]

Awesome and very informative video. I'm a beginner in CP soap making. Watching many videos of professionals nobody explains EO blending the way you did. Especially the flash point. Great! Also I have a small query. What is the idealflash point I should look for while selecting EOs ?

[@DawnOrganics]

Thank you :) Flashpoints are half the story though. I think focus more on the blending side of it, I do have another video I share blends, definitely check that out, it will give more perspective

[@jojopaul6136]

@@DawnOrganics thx a ton!

[@gadderadhika]

Lovely video n thanks to your tip of Cedarwood helping to anchor the scent…i am doing that in all my soaps….i give them as gifts to fmly n friends n everyone comes back with positive feedback….thanks a ton for the knowledge you n Elly share through your videos….🙏🙏 One question…i want to know whether i need to put the amount of EO in the soap calculator….if yes, will it calculate lye including the amount of EO..?? Thanks one again n pls keep sharing your videos….God bless you.💐

[@DawnOrganics]

Thanks for watching, that's so great to hear 🙏🙏🙏 Elly is fantastic. Essential oils are additives in soap and are calculated as percentage of your oil amount in your recipe. No extra lye required 🙏🙏🙏
