Hi there.. I make CP soap with essential oils scents at .7 ppo. They smell great even after 5-6 weeks of curing, the scent is pretty strong, but after I shower I don't smell like anything. Is like, the scent completely washes off. I used to add .5 ppo of scent, but then they suggested going .7, but I doesn't make any difference at all. It's hard to believe that the scent of the soap which is very strong does not stay on my skin at all.. not even a little bit.
I remember when I used to buy store soaps, even the cheap ones, my skin would smell like whatever scent that store-bought was. Is there something I am missing?
I've tried several different essential oils from different brands... Lavender, Lemongrass which is pretty strong..you name it, it doesnt matter. The only one that has been able to stay on a little bit on my skin has been Patchouli...out of all the ones I have used, this is the ONLY scent that I can smell on my skin, even an hour or more after taking a shower.
my recipe is pretty basic..
45% olive oil 25% coconut oil 30% Palm oil at 5% superfat ( I have also tried 6% & 7%)
Any suggestions would be appreciated. - thanks.
