Key features and benefits:

• Evocative Winter Scent: A harmonious blend of crisp freshness and frost, balanced with the inviting warmth of cinnamon, creating a truly unique and festive aroma.
• Optimal for Cold Process Soap: This fragrance oil is specifically engineered for cold process soap making. It does not accelerate trace, does not cause separation or seizing, and maintains the integrity of your soap batter. It imparts a subtle light beige color to the finished soap.

• High Quality from Spain: Sourced from Spain, ensuring a high-quality product that meets rigorous standards for fragrance oils.

Versatile Applications and Usage Areas

"Christmas Snow" Fragrance Oil is a fantastic choice for adding a festive and inviting scent to a variety of handcrafted and commercial products.

• Cold Process Soap Making (Soap from Scratch): This is where "Christmas Snow" truly shines. Its proven stability in cold process formulations makes it a go-to choice for artisans looking to create holiday-themed soaps without concerns about acceleration, seizing, or discoloration issues (beyond the intended light beige hue). The scent holds beautifully through the saponification process, delivering a delightful and long-lasting aroma in the final bar.
• Melt and Pour Soap: Easily incorporate this fragrance into melt and pour soap bases for a quick and simple way to produce beautifully scented, festive soaps.
• Handmade Cosmetics:
  • Body Lotions and Creams: Add a cozy, festive scent to your body lotions and creams, perfect for seasonal product lines or personalized gifts. The low usage rate ensures the fragrance is present without being overpowering.
  • Shower Gels and Bath Bombs: Enhance the sensory experience of bath and shower products. The freshness notes will create an invigorating feel, while cinnamon adds warmth. For water-based products like shower gels or bath bombs (where the oil doesn't directly dissolve), you will need to use a solubilizer (such as Polysorbate 20 or 80) to properly disperse the fragrance oil and prevent separation.
  • Body Butters and Balms: Infuse your luxurious body butters and balms with this unique festive aroma, providing a comforting and seasonal experience.
• Other Handcrafted Products:
  • Room Sprays: When combined with an appropriate alcohol base and a small amount of water (with a solubilizer), this fragrance can create refreshing and festive room sprays to instantly uplift any space.
  • Potpourri and Scented Sachets: A few drops on dried botanicals or fabric sachets can create long-lasting festive aromas for home decor.
  • Candles (Not for use in candles): While typically fragrance oils are used in candles, this particular description emphasizes its use for "soap from scratch" and detailed performance in cold process soap. For candle making, it is always recommended to use fragrance oils specifically labeled and tested for candle compatibility to ensure proper burn, scent throw, and safety.

The versatility and delightful aroma of "Christmas Snow" Fragrance Oil make it an essential ingredient for any crafter or producer looking to infuse their products with the warmth and magic of the holiday season. Worldwide shipping is available for your convenience.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Festive Frost" Cold Process Soap Bar

Create a charming and beautifully scented "Festive Frost" cold process soap bar that embodies the "Christmas Snow" aroma, perfect for holiday gifting or personal indulgence.

Instructions for Preparation (Cold Process Soap - Safety First!):

1. Safety Gear: Put on your safety goggles and chemical-resistant gloves before you begin. Ensure good ventilation.
2. Prepare Lye Solution (Phase B): Carefully add Sodium Hydroxide (Lye) to Distilled Water in a heat-resistant container. NEVER add water to lye. Stir gently until the lye dissolves completely. The solution will heat up rapidly. Set aside to cool to around 40-45°C (104-113°F).
3. Melt Oils (Phase A): In a separate heat-resistant container, weigh and gently melt all solid oils (Coconut Oil, Palm Oil). Once melted, add liquid oils (Olive Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Castor Oil) and stir to combine. Allow the oil mixture to cool to around 40-45°C (104-113°F).
4. Combine Lye and Oils: When both the lye solution and oil mixture are within the target temperature range (and within a few degrees of each other), slowly and carefully pour the lye solution into the oil mixture.
5. Achieve Trace: Using a stick blender, blend the mixture in short bursts, alternating with hand stirring. The mixture will begin to thicken and emulsify. Continue blending until it reaches "trace" – when a spoonful of the mixture drizzled on the surface leaves a temporary mark.
6. Add Fragrance and Additives (Phase C): At light trace, add the "Christmas Snow" Fragrance Oil. If using, also add the titanium dioxide (pre-dispersed in a small amount of oil to prevent clumping) and mica. Blend briefly to fully incorporate the fragrance and colors/additives.
7. Pour into Mold: Pour the saponifying soap batter into your prepared soap mold.
8. Insulate and Cure: Cover the mold with a lid or plastic wrap and insulate it with a towel or blanket to retain heat for 24-48 hours. After this period, unmold the soap, cut it into bars (if necessary), and place it in a well-ventilated area to cure for 4-6 weeks. Curing allows the soap to harden, become milder, and for excess water to evaporate, resulting in a long-lasting bar.

Recommendations for Use:

• Usage Rate: The 1% concentration of "Christmas Snow" Fragrance Oil in this recipe is a strong starting point for a noticeable scent in cold process soap. You can adjust this between 0.5% and 1.5% for desired intensity, but always test a small batch first.
• Temperature Control: Maintaining consistent temperatures for both your lye and oil solutions is crucial for successful cold process soap making.
• Coloring: "Christmas Snow" naturally imparts a light beige tint. If you desire a pure white soap, you can counteract this by adding a small amount of titanium dioxide.
• Curing Time: The 4-6 week curing period is essential for cold process soap. Do not skip this step! It greatly improves the quality, hardness, and longevity of your soap.
• Safety Precautions: Always prioritize safety when working with lye. Wear appropriate protective gear (gloves, goggles, long sleeves) and work in a well-ventilated area. Keep lye away from children and pets.
• Storage: Store finished soap bars in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve their fragrance and extend their shelf life.
