Hi,
Still very new to soapmaking ... For my second batch I would like to make soap with 60% extra virgin cocos oil (+20% olive and 20% almond). I'm wondering if the coconut oil will still have a strong coconut scent once it is soap. I have some EO from lavender and from cypress. Don't suppose this would do something good combined with coconut?
Thanks for this great forum XXX

No you will not have coconut scent from the oil, sadly.

Almond is a very soft oil. I would up your olive and subtract your almond. The virgin coconut might add a very slight scent to your soap.

Hi,
Thanks for the replys. I understand that if there will be a coconut scent, it will be faint ...
Will also ad some more olive oil.
Thanks!
