Discover the Exceptional Virtues of our Geranium Rosa Essential Oil for your Home Soaps

Among the various varieties of geranium essential oil, we have selected Geranium Rosa for its remarkable properties in soap-making. This essential oil stands out for its ideal behavior during saponification, without excessively accelerating the trace, while offering exceptional skin care properties, essential in a quality soap.

Tips :

At the end of the treatment, add a few drops of Geranium Rosa 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. Sodium hydroxide in no way alters the scent or properties of the essential oils used in soapmaking.
