vberkesch Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Searched & searched and am not finding a clear answer on just how much FO is acceptable to use in a Lotion bar. Can anyone tell me what percent to use. Am using the non greasy recipe. So far have been making 6 oz at a time and tried 1/2 tsp. Not sure what the persentage of FO this would be. Thanks, Vanessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulougirl Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Hi Vanessa Well I usually add around 1% FO. You might want to double check the usage rates of the FO you want to use, sometimes it's much lower, or even higher than I'm expecting.Sorry I'm not much help since you're not using percentages, but it's pretty easy to convert your recipe over to %. Makes tweaking the recipe easier too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vberkesch Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Thanks much, So I would take 6oz(total wt.) and multiply by 0.01 to get 1% right?? Vanessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
