LuminousBoutique Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 less!! yes yes yes. Of course it depends on the quality of the essential oil, but you need much less.

psfponies Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I use the same amount of FO as EO in my soap recipe. I find that EO seem to fade more then the FO as it cures. For some reason the FO seems to keep its scent better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 thats why most of us prefer using FO's.. FO's are stronger and contain synthetics that make them last longer...BUT.. some EO's really should be kept in check. Overuse can be irritating to skin. Its very important to check usage rates.
