Essential oil or fragrance oil for cold process soap

[Brother josephus]

Hello, newbie here. 2 batches under my belt and loving it. My only too scary areas are in regards to fragrance oils or essential oils, don't know which one is better and then I'm not exactly confident on the amount, I have a 3 lb mold, I also know different scents call for different amounts. But let's take lavender, or tea tree, can anyone tell me the proper amount? Thank you

Safe percentage of EOs and FOs vary by the ingredients as well as some other factors, including the intended category of product. Certain EOs are contraindicated for use by pregnant women or children under a certain age. You need to look them up individually. The manufacturer should have safe usage information for each product they sell. If not, find a more reliable source for your fragrances.
