Tips

At the end of the treatment, add a few drops of Sweet Orange essential oil to boost the beneficial effects of your soap.

• Incorporation: 3% of the total weight of your oils and butters (example: 300 g oils = 9 g EO).
• Add 5% white clay to the total weight of your oils to prolong the scent of your soap. Dilute the clay in the pre-heated oils, blending to ensure even distribution of the clay. Next, add your soda solution. This will prevent lumps in your soap paste and make it easier to manage the trace.
