Teach Soap

Hi all!

So I have been making batches of soap using Peppermint and TeaTree EO's and the soap just doesn't seem to hold the distinct scent like it should.

I tried using carrier oil's such as Almond and Avocado oil which helped but still over time the bars lost their scent on the outside.

I still have some sample bars of the same recipe (tea tree and peppermint) from a manufacturer that are about 8 months old and when I pick up the bars to smell them they still have a wonderful scent to them!

Once I start using my bars in the shower the scent opens up but when I hand someone a bar of soap I want them to be able to smell it and experience the same scent without having to use it!

Any suggestions or insight on why this is happening....

How much are you using per lb. of soap?

12 oz of Peppermint Oil and 8 Oz of Tea Tree Oil... So roughly about 1.25 lbs of Essential Oils for about a 48 lbs batch....

Noooo....I think you misunderstood me! haha

I used a total of 20 oz. of Essential Oils (Peppermint and Tea Tre combined; 12 oz Peppermind, 8 oz Tea Tree) for a 48 POUND batch!
