Massage Oils in Soap?

[jenmarie82]

Is it possible to put massage oil in MP soap? I've never tried it but thought it might be nice...would it make the bar too soft?

I asked this question the other day (not sure if it was here or on the Soap Dish) and was told that the scent in massage oils is not strong enough for soap. Essential oils are highly concentrated and have a super strong smell, whereas the massage oil is just lightly scented and not concentrated.

I'm sure you could try it, but I guess it just wouldn't smell as strong, or at all. :\ Don't know!

I would go with a fragrance oil or essential oil similar to what you're going for in the soap....you will be much further ahead in the game with an oil meant for soaping.
