Hello all
So I made my Christmas soap and I wanted the white parts to stay whiter than white, so I put all of the scent in to the coloured parts of the batter. All good in theory, but some bars are much more of the coloured batter than the white batter, so they will should be much more concentrated.
This is a particular issue as I used clove and cinnamon EOs
Overall in the batch, I had less than 1% clove and 0.5% cinnamon. I say "less than" as I actually put less than that amount in as I was concerned about the effects of too much of these two. I also used 2.5% Blood Orange EO and a Christmas Spice FO at 1%.
I used the soap last night, waiting to see what happened. Of course, I am thinking that something will happen so every slight itch is caused by these two EOs.
How much exposure does one need to be affected by clove and cinnamon, and what are the effects of them?
