Thanks Kitn I'm still not clued up on the lingo! :oops: What does ppo mean :?

I'm planning on making my second batch tonight, but I'm not sure how much EO to put in. I used peppermint EO in my very first batch but I didn't put enough in and it doesn't smell too good right now! :lol: My problem is that I didn't measure it, so I don't know how much was not enough...

Hi there I'm kind of in the same boat! I got all excited when I found the company who do it all for £150, but if it's not good enough for trading standards, then it's money straight down the drain! It's really quite misleading :x

I didn't measure the peppermint - I just added it till I though it smelled OK :? Probably not the right way to do it though...... :? lol Does the amount of EO or FO affect the amount of lye needed?

I've only ever made 1 batch of soap with veg oil and lard ( I know it's not too nice compared to what you all make!! lol) I wanted to practice how to do it before splashing out on a load of supplies. I added peppermint EO to fragrance it but I can't smell it anymore - all I can smell is the...

Thanks to everyone for answering and being so nice!! I'll try again with coconut oil this time - I really just wanted to practice the technique without wasting money on 'the good stuff'! lol I'll rebatch the stuff I've made, but that's for another day, I think! lol Practice makes Perfect...
