What is "lebeling effect" term?.

[rose_24111983]

Anyone
out there could explain me how this is possible?. A friend told me
about " Lebeling effect" term in soap making, which means adding E.O in
CP soap will loose it's own benefits during saponification process and
then only some smell remaining like F.O. I got no clue about it, please

I've never seen a term for it, but many believe that EOs that are therapeutic for aromatherapy provide no therapeutic benefit (beyond smelling good) in soap. Whether because of the fleeting exposure to a soap, or due to the high pH or heat or whatever I couldn't say.

But I personally don't believe you are getting any therapeutic benefit from EOs in soap.

Label effect or label appeal is using an ingredient in soap to add a perceived value to the soap. The ingredients may indeed make the soap feel a little different/nicer, or make the lather feel richer etc, but the ingredient has no real therapeutic use/value in the soap. Does that make sence?

Now all that being said I love adding things to my soap such as yogurt, fruits, veggeis, milks, clays, teas etc. I don't make any claims that they will do anything, I just like the way they feel/look.

well, I'm not sure if that is what the op meant, but i *think* that was the question. I could be wrong though. :roll:
