Teach Soap

I have a foamer soap bottle, some castille soap and warm water. It makes foam soap just beautifully, LOVE IT, it's great then I added fragrance oil, also great. The fragrance obviously isn't incorporating into the water. Sits right there on top.

How do I incorporate it into the castille and water mixture and still make it crystal clear?





Any tried and true recipes?

Howdy, stranger!

I don't use the foamer bottles, so take this with a grain of salt - but it sounds like you need a solubizer (peg-80 or something similar) to get it to mix. A question - did you try mixing the fragrance with the soap, then adding the water? Does it incorporate into the soap without assistance?

Oh, and what was your fragrance? They aren't all created equal in this type of application.

Soap foamers have a lot of water. I would have tried to incorporate the fragrance before dilution, or mix the fragrance with polysorbate, then add that to your diluted soap. Be aware that depending on how much polysorbate you use and which fragrance, it can make your soap cloudy.

hmmm, incorporating before the water, magic. I haven't tried that.... I shall give it a try. thanks

Soapbuddy, I have tried polysorbate and found it made it cloudy... I am so looking to get a crystal clear look.

The peg-80. I will look into it. Haven't used it....

With some fragrances you need a higher ratio of plysorbate so the solution will become clear.
