How to figure out how much essential oils to use in Cp soap making:

Refer to “my list” above about for how much is recommended to use per pound of oil/fat. 

How many pounds (of oil/fat) does your recipe have?

Let’s say you are making a 4-pound batch of oil/fats (fyi – 4 pounds = 64 ounces)

You multiply 4 x the amount of E.O. recommended.

To demonstrate, I’ll use Anise & Lavender. 

Anise is recommended at .5 per pound of oil/fat.

So… 4 (lbs of oil) x .5 = 2.0 ounces of Anise (if you were using only Anise for the entire 4 -lb batch).

and 4 (lbs of oil) x .7 = 2.8 ounces of Lavender (if you were using only Lavender)

Since you are using a combination of oils, divide each by 2.

So for Anise, it’s 2 divided by 2 = 1 (ounce of anise for the whole batch, in combo with lavender)  

So 2.8 divided by 2 = 1.4 (ounces of lavender for the whole batch, in combo with anise).
