Either one will work. Sometimes the essential oil scent may not hold quite as long as a fragrance oil but I chose essential oil for this soap as it was aimed at being a facial bar and you wouldn’t get the skin benefits of the tea tree and the lavender with a fragrance oil. 💕
Hey Everyone:) Today I am sharing how to make a rose clay and charcoal melt and pour soap. If you have any questions leave them down below and I will get back with you. Take care and be well!
@@uniFlor-ve9ht for melt & pour soap the rubbing alcohol works the best as it will evaporate out of the soap. You wouldn’t want to do water. You can mix the mica directly into the soap batter but it is more difficult to get it fully incorporated this way.
@@TheOilyLife that makes sense. Can you explain what do you mean by difficult to incorporate in the soap? The mixing itself or how the soap will look after hardening? I just got my LLC and going to order the products this week so I'm completely new to soap making
@@uniFlor-ve9ht so if you put the mica directly into the soap without dispersing it in the rubbing alcohol it is harder to get the color completely combined with the soap and you may end up with splotchy coloring of your soap
So since this wasn’t a soap I was layering and I was using melt and pour I didn’t track the temperature on it. If you are doing layers you would want to the soap to be 120 or under so as not to melt the previous layer.
This is awesome!! Will be trying!!! Love the shine it left on the bars!! Great job!!!
They came out great! I’m definitely trying this, thanks so much ☺️
Nice!
Hi doesn't fragrance oil is better than essential oil while making melt and pour soap?

can the powders be mixed with anything else more natural rather than rubbing alcohol... like distilled water??

@@TheOilyLife thanks for taking the time to explain it totally makes sense. Can't wait to start this journey
Hi, wanted to know the quantity of Essential oil used :)
Hello:). I have all the measurements listed in the description box .
What temperature did you pour at?
So since this wasn’t a soap I was layering and I was using melt and pour I didn’t track the temperature on it. If you are doing layers you would want to the soap to be 120 or under so as not to melt the previous layer.
