1. What is the difference between Botanical Extracts and Essential Oils?

2. At what rate are botanical extracts used? For example, if I add Buckthorn Extract to body butter, how much? How about facial serum?

Essential oils add scent to the product while extracts don't have much scent, they are added for their properties.

The general usage rate for extracts is 1 teaspoon of extract per pound of product. There is more info on extracts here; https://www.soapqueen.com/bramble-berry ... -extracts/

Thanks :D Bramble Momma

Would this be in addition to essential/fragrant oil or included in the total addition of all oils?

Right, you would still add the same amount of FO/EO regardless of the extracts.
