Soap Making Basics
Cold Process Soap Making
Create Soap That Smells as Good as It Looks.
Cold process soap making combines oils or butters with a lye solution through a process called saponification, transforming them into handmade soap. Fragrance oils are added to give each batch its own distinctive scent and personality.
For cold process soap, fragrance is commonly used around 3–6% of the oil weight, but the correct amount depends on the individual fragrance. Always check the fragrance’s recommended usage rate and applicable IFRA guidelines before formulating.
Fragrance oils can also affect your soap differently. Some may accelerate trace, cause discoloration, increase heat, or occasionally cause ricing or seizing, which is why making a small test batch is always recommended when trying a new fragrance.
Choose your fragrance. Create your recipe. Make something uniquely yours.
