Hello all,
Up until this point I've followed recipes exactly or I've stuck to one EO or fragrance per batch, but now I want to start mixing it up.
For instance, let's make this entirely theoretical for the sake of conversation. Let's say I'm doing an orange and patchouli blend at 2 parts orange to 1 part patchouli. I run my numbers through Brambleberry's fragrance calculator, and it tells me that I can put a maximum of 1.5oz of 10x orange in my soap and 0.75 oz of patchouli.
How much of each EO/FO would I put in then to reach a "safe" amount for each fragrance? Would I be safe to then put the 1.5oz of orange in and 0.75oz of patchouli to get my ratio right and hit my maximums? Or now that I've put two fragrance oils/essential oils in, is that too much since it would total 2.25oz and bordering on unsafe?
Am I even doing the math right
or is there a rule of thumb for this sort of thing?
Many thanks!
