My Lavender Soap

kyrietechnologyco · Jan 28, 2020

My Lavender soap with coconut. Almond oil, Olive oil and cocoa butter with 30 drops of lavendula angustifolia (which is stronger) but after curing the aroma is lesser so next time I will use 50 -60 drops

EO & FO should always be measured by weight not drops. Drops are not accurate or consistent. If you are running your recipe through a soap calculator it will calculate how much to use based on the percentage you enter. It will give you grams and ounces.

Just wanted to add that there's even a special EO calculator: https://www.eocalc.com
If you run your eo (blend) through here, you're sure your soap is safe to use

some EO's can be irritating at higher amounts.

@kyrietechnologyco Very nice!! And love the background cloth too!
I have to agree with the two previous posters, though. Try weighing your EO just as you do your oils & such. It'll make it much easier for you. ( Just give you a basic start, in US volume, 300 drops is roughly a half ounce )

Thanks a lot.
My correction I added Essentail oil just 20 ml not 20 drops.
