dorothybooth Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Ok, so I want to make 3 batches of soap, I want a feminie relaxing soap, a masculine soap, and a fun kids soap... I thought these combos seemed to fit the bill, but they may not work with soaping (CP method).Batch 1(Relaxing): 1 part Lavender, 2 parts Rosewood and 1 part VanillaBatch 2 (Masculine): 1.5 parts Sandalwood, .5 part Tea Tree and 2 parts PatchouliBatch 3(Kids): 1 part Lemon eucalyptus,1 part Mandarin, and 2 parts Vanilla I hear vanilla turns brown, is there another EO that gives a similar scent without browning? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebM Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I have never found a vanilla EO, but there are vanilla stabilizers that can be added to help lessen the discoloration in the FOs. I also use it in my Lilac which tends to yellow with age (I make m/p).My most successful soap for my guy market using EOs only is Bay Lime. I'm not much of a Patchouli fan but my daughter sells a ton of it for me.Your fragrance recipes sound really yummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soycrazy Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 You can get vanilla oleoresin, but MMS did this in cp and the scent didn't carry over much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
