I'm getting some of these extracts: and am wondering how I would use them in CP and HP soaps.

And these FOs: The fragrance oils, none of the EOs.

Wondering if anyone has used these before, and what they think of them =D Will use the FOs in super small batches first to test for acceleration, ricing, and discolouration of course, you guys taught me that part well =D NO IDEA on the extracts though! Those I need help with for sure! I'm getting evening primrose for sure, as it is recommended for folks with painfully itchy skin =(

The extracts have 20% alcohol, which would make your soap seize. Most extracts also get eaten up by lye, so not sure how much of any therapeutic value would be left. The scent won't come through either.
