Green Tea Infused Water for Scenting Soap?
Comments (7)Yikes! I am having browser probs today, big time! No, using an anchor means to use another scent (EO) to help keep the fleeting EO around longer. Patchouli and Litsea cubeba are anchors I have used with success, but also keep in mind that lavender used at 1oz. per pound of oils will have good scent for up to 1 year without an anchor. ; make soap to last you for a year at a time of usage (and friends) and the scent should not be a problem. :). Many soapers when starting out don't use nor know about anchors, I am sort of sorry that I have mentioned it in here, but now you are aware. Hope I didn't confuse you the situation much:( This is not needed for FOs, for FOs should be designed to having staying power incorporated. A FO without staying power has not been designed well and you should look elsewhere....See MoreMaking soap scents last
Comments (2)Each FO and EO will have a lifespan of its own, but there are a couple of things you can do to make sure that the life of your oils will last. - Store all of your oils in glass amber bottles and keep them away from heat and sunlight. This is much more true for EOs (because they are more volatile), but some FOs also contain essentials and therefore must be stored the same way. - When purchasing EOs in large bottles, be sure to transfer them to smaller bottles leaving as little empty space at the top as possible. This will reduce their evaporation rate and will keep the scent more consistent throughout the whole bottle. - Wrap your soaps entirely in a breathable material such as tissue paper or a paper soap box. This will lessen the rate that the scent dissipates, but still allow your soap to breathe as it continues to cure past the 2-4 week waiting period. If you'd prefer not to wrap them due to shrinking, place your soaps in a tupperware container after they've been allowed to sit out for 2-4 weeks. - Try adding a little powdered benzoin to your soap (not for use in M&P). You can find it at Mountain Rose Herbs http://www.mountainroseherbs.com Hope this helps! Burgundy...See MoreSoap Scent Combinations

Comments (24)This is an interesting thread. I use Seventh Generation Free & Clear and am pleased with it. I can't stand scented things, though I have no allergies, it's just a pet peeve. Like Brencbg said, why would anyone want perfume in their dish soap. I recently had my stone tile floors professionally cleaned and polished (they are 24 years old, and the grout had 24 years of dirt in it). The company instructed me that I should clean the floor mostly with just water and a sponge, but if I had to use soap, use an unscented dishwashing liquid. When I showed him my bottle of Seventh Generation, he said I couldn't use it on the stone tile because it has citric acid in it and would etch the stone. I looked on the ingredient label, and yup, there was citric acid. Who knew? He recommended the Dawn Pure Essentials that was mentioned above. When this bottle of Seventh Generation is finished, I will give the Dawn Pure Essentials a try, but sigh, I do like my Seventh Generation DW liquid....See More- last year
