I thought I saw info somewhere about infusing the oil in the cp process. Can you assist with info? Thanks!

Welcome!
What are you trying to infuse?

herbs, lavendar, etc? I thought I saw a posting once on the Brambleberry website but have not been able to locate it again. I was hoping that by infusing the oil it might hold the scent better. I've had a hard time retaining the scent in my soaps. I use EO and herbs in my CP goat milk recipes. Thanks!

You can infuse your soapmaking oil with a herb like lavender, but the scent will not come through the finished soap. It's possible that you are not using enough essential oil per lb. of soap, or you are using citrus, which will fade.
