Adjusting Water for FO or EO

[kbuska]

Does anyone make water adjustments for the FO or EO they use. IE. if you used 2oz of FO, reduce the water you use by 2oz?

nope.

I don't. I adjust water based on if I want gel or not, if I'm swirling, if it's a castile and things like that. I don't account at all for the liquid amount of the fragrance. It's generally not a lot, esp for EO's which most people use at 0.5 oz ppo or so and FO's at 0.5-1 oz ppo (in general. People use quite a variety of ratios, of course), compared to the amount of water rec'd at "full water". It will be interesting to hear if other people do or don't.

Not me either....

no

I don't. I figure they're oils, not water.

Nope. If anything I would reduce the oil amount not the water. I just figure it adds to the superfat.

Have never considered it!

I don't either. I only adjust the liquid if I'm planning on gelling or swirling.

EO or FO have no SAP value and are not water soluble. They have nothing to do with water.
