Use in Cold Saponification
To take full advantage of the benefits of this macerate in the manufacture of homemade soaps:
- Adding to the trace: Incorporate calendula macerate at the end of the trace during cold saponification. This preserves its active properties and ensures greater efficacy in the finished product.
- For macerate-based soaps, use the saponification index of the base oil to determine the amount of soda required. Adding the surgras macerate at the end of the process preserves its properties and gently enriches the soap.
- Recommended dosage: Use 5 to 10% of the macerate in the soap recipe for optimal soothing and moisturizing properties.
