ashwini Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Is it required keep the lid closed, in between stirring?I am planning to add orange oil, lemongrass and citronella oils for soaps. Will it spoil the soap?How much EO needs to be added in general? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Yes, keep the lid on so it does not get too dry. I use EO's @.75 ounce per lb. of oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I use 5-fold orange and lemongrass eo's in soap all the time. No worries. Orange (and other citrus oils) have a way of saying bye-bye quickly in CP, but the scent is preserved longer in HP since you can add after the cook and the oils don't go through the saponification process. No experience with citronella, so can't help you there. But I use lemongrass and orange eo at 1 oz. ppo in soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
