I only add the essential oils at the end, when everything have been blended for a while.
Calculating your ingredients
Getting the correct measurement is somewhat important. You don't want to add more than 40% of any ingredient. All the ingredients should be calculated per weight and not volume. Reason is that each ingredient weighs differently than the other. To get the correct additions use Soap Calculator. You will have to add the weight of the soap you want to make, the different oils and percentages. It then shows you a page with the measurements you will have to use.
