Rose geranium and lemon EO in cold process soap.

[Fucsia]

I bought a delicious smelling soap with theese two EO. Been trying to make one of mye own, but cant get the right doses of each. How would you blend the two?

I don't know about the ratios, but I would guess that they used 10x (folded) lemon EO plus some litsea cubeba to boost the lemon scent and make it stick.

Is it certain that the one you liked was made with EOs?

How would you blend the two?

Here's a link to a site where you can learn about making EO blends:

You can also try www.EOCalc.com for blends.

Have fun playing!

EO calc is great. Rose Geranium can be very pungent so I use much less of this then other more gentle oils in a blend. I’d start with 1:5 RG:L and adjust from there.

Pungent though it can be, Rose Geranium is my favorite!!!!!

Oh it's gorgeous, that's why I started with this one, but I know I can use less now, and it will go further

So glad, wasn't sure if posting 3 years after the previous posts was going to help anyone. It's so disappointing when you over do it on an oil you like, it can put you off it.
