Versatile Applications and Usage Areas

Our Dead Sea Spa Fragrance Oil offers a refreshing and calming aroma, making it an excellent addition to various handmade and commercial cosmetic products.

• For Soap Making:
  • Cold Process Soap (Soap from Scratch): This fragrance oil is specifically formulated for this method. Its stability in a high pH environment ensures the scent remains true and potent throughout the saponification process and into the final cured bar. It helps create luxurious, aromatic soap bars reminiscent of a high-end spa.
  • Handmade Soap (General): Suitable for other handmade soap methods like melt-and-pour, offering an easy way to infuse a sophisticated aroma.
  • Solid Soap & Liquid Soap: Can be incorporated into both solid and liquid soap formulations, ensuring a consistent scent profile across your product lines.
• For Cosmetic Products:
  • Lotions and Creams: Add a touch of spa luxury to body lotions, hand creams, and moisturizers (at 1-2% input) for a refreshing and clean scent experience.
  • Bath Bombs and Bath Salts: Enhance the relaxation experience of bath products. This fragrance blends perfectly with bath salts (5-6% input recommended) and bath bomb formulations, releasing its calming aroma as they dissolve.
  • Shower Gels and Body Washes: Infuse your cleansing routines with the invigorating scent of the Dead Sea spa, making every shower a refreshing escape.
  • Hair Care Products: A small percentage (1-2%) can be used in shampoos and conditioners to leave hair subtly scented with a clean, fresh aroma.
• For Other Aromatic Products:
  • Aromatherapy Candles: This fragrance is highly effective in candles, providing a strong and consistent scent throw. A 5-6% input is recommended for candle formulations, ensuring your candles fill the room with the calming Dead Sea spa aroma.
  • Room Sprays and Diffuser Oils: For non-water based room sprays or diffuser oils, this fragrance can be diluted in an appropriate solvent (like perfumer's alcohol or DPG) to create an inviting atmosphere in any space.

Recommended Usage:

• 1-2% in cosmetic products and all types of soap (cold process, melt & pour, liquid).
• 5-6% in aromatherapy candles and bath salts for a stronger fragrance throw.
• General concentration: 0.1 – 1% depending on the specific product and desired intensity.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Dead Sea Breeze" Cold Process Soap Bar

Create a beautifully scented and skin-loving cold process soap bar with our Dead Sea Spa Fragrance Oil, perfect for a refreshing shower experience.

Instructions for Making Cold Process Soap:

1. Safety First: Always wear appropriate safety gear: gloves, eye protection, and long sleeves. Work in a well-ventilated area.
2. Prepare Lye Solution (Part A): Carefully add sodium hydroxide to distilled water in a heat-resistant container. Stir gently until dissolved. The solution will heat up rapidly. Set aside to cool to 40-50°C (105-120°F).
3. Melt Oils (Part B): In a separate heat-resistant container, melt the solid oils (coconut oil, palm oil) until fully liquid. Add olive oil and castor oil. Heat the combined oils to 40-50°C (105-120°F).
4. Combine Lye and Oils: When both the lye solution and oils are within the target temperature range (and within 5-10 degrees of each other), slowly and carefully pour the lye solution into the oils, while continuously blending with a stick blender.
5. Blend to Trace: Continue blending until the mixture reaches "trace" – a consistency where the soap batter leaves a faint impression on the surface when drizzled from the blender. This indicates saponification has begun.
6. Add Fragrance and Optional Additives (Part C): At trace, add the Dead Sea Spa Fragrance Oil. If using, disperse kaolin clay in a small amount of the liquid soap batter before adding to prevent clumps, then add to the main batch. Blend briefly to fully incorporate.
7. Pour and Insulate: Pour the soap batter into your prepared mold. Cover the mold and insulate it with a towel or blanket for 24-48 hours to allow the saponification process to complete.
8. Unmold and Cure: After 24-48 hours, carefully unmold the soap. Cut into individual bars if necessary. Allow the soap bars to cure in a well-ventilated area for 4-6 weeks. Curing allows excess water to evaporate, making the soap harder, milder, and longer-lasting, while the fragrance fully develops.

Recommendations for Use:

• Fragrance Percentage: The 1.5% fragrance oil concentration provides a good scent strength for cold process soap. You can adjust this slightly within the 1-2% range based on personal preference.
• Temperature: Ensure both lye solution and oils are at the recommended temperatures for optimal saponification and scent retention.
• Patience is Key: Cold process soap requires a curing period. Do not use the soap before it has fully cured to ensure safety and quality.
• Storage: Store cured soap bars in a cool, dry place.
• Discoloration: While this fragrance is formulated for soap, some natural fragrance components (like vanillin, if present in the blend) can cause discoloration (browning) over time in cold process soap. If you want to prevent this, you might consider adding a vanillin stabilizer to your recipe, though it's not strictly necessary for scent performance.
• Patch Test: Always recommend a patch test for finished soap products, especially for individuals with sensitive skin.
