Description and Key Features

Our "Cherry Lips" Fragrance Oil is a rich, liquid aromatic blend that promises to infuse your creations with an intoxicating cherry scent. Unlike many cherry fragrances, this one offers a nuanced, "aroma of passion" that goes beyond simple fruitiness, hinting at deeper, more sophisticated notes.

Key features of this exceptional fragrance oil include:

• Passionately Ripe Cherry Aroma: A deep, full-bodied scent that perfectly captures the essence of succulent, ripe cherries, delivering a truly captivating olfactory experience.

• Cold Process Soap Friendly: A standout feature is its exceptional performance in cold process soap. It does not accelerate trace, does not cause seizing, and does not lead to separation, providing a smooth and predictable soap-making experience. It also tints the soap to a light beige color, adding a natural, warm hue.
• Versatile Concentration: Recommended usage rates vary to suit different applications, from 0.1-1% for general use up to 5-6% for highly scented products like candles and bath salts.
• 100% Spanish Quality: Sourced from Spain, ensuring high quality and adherence to strict manufacturing standards.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Passionate Cherry" Cold Process Soap Bar

Craft a beautiful and fragrant cold process soap bar with the alluring "Cherry Lips" Fragrance Oil, known for its excellent behavior in this saponification method.

Instructions for Cold Process Soap Preparation:

1. Safety First: Always wear appropriate safety gear (gloves, eye protection, long sleeves) when working with sodium hydroxide. Work in a well-ventilated area.
2. Prepare Lye Solution (Phase B): In a heat-resistant container, carefully weigh out the distilled water. Slowly and carefully add the sodium hydroxide to the water, stirring gently until fully dissolved. The solution will become very hot. Set aside in a safe place to cool to 40-50°C (104-122°F).
3. Prepare Oils (Phase A): In a separate heat-resistant container, weigh out all the solid oils (coconut oil, palm oil) and melt them. Once melted, add the liquid oils (olive oil, castor oil). Stir well. Allow the oils to cool to 40-50°C (104-122°F), ensuring they are fully liquid.
4. Combine Lye and Oils: When both the lye solution and the oils are within 5-10°C of each other (ideally both around 40-50°C), slowly and carefully pour the lye solution into the oils.
5. Achieve Trace: Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until it reaches "trace." Trace is when the mixture thickens to the consistency of thin pudding and leaves a visible "trace" on the surface when you drizzle some of it back into the pot.
6. Add Fragrance Oil (Phase C): Once trace is reached, add the "Cherry Lips" Fragrance Oil to the soap batter. Stir well (by hand or with short bursts of the immersion blender) to fully incorporate the fragrance. Notice how the fragrance oil seamlessly blends in and the soap batter takes on a light beige tint.
7. Pour into Mold: Immediately pour the scented soap batter into your prepared soap mold.
8. Insulate and Cure: Cover the mold and insulate it (e.g., with a towel or blanket) to allow the saponification process to complete. After 24-48 hours, unmold the soap and cut it into bars.
9. Curing: Arrange the soap bars on a curing rack in a well-ventilated area for 4-6 weeks. This allows excess water to evaporate, resulting in a harder, longer-lasting bar of soap with a milder lather.

Recommendations for Use and Handling:

• Cold Process Specifics: This fragrance oil is specifically formulated for cold process soap. Its properties (non-acceleration, non-seizing, non-separation) make it excellent for intricate designs or for beginners.
• Scent Strength: Start with the recommended 1-2% for soap to avoid overwhelming the senses. You can adjust slightly up or down in future batches based on personal preference.
• Color Expectation: Be aware that "Cherry Lips" will impart a light beige color to your cold process soap. If you desire a different color, use soap-stable colorants in addition to the fragrance, keeping the beige undertone in mind.
• Storage: Store the "Cherry Lips" Fragrance Oil in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to preserve its integrity and aroma.
• Safety: Always follow proper safety precautions when handling raw materials for soap making, especially lye. Consult a lye calculator for precise lye and water amounts for your specific oil blend and desired superfat percentage.
• Patch Testing: If using in other cosmetic applications (like lotions or creams), always perform a small patch test on the skin to check for any sensitivities, even though this is a fragrance oil.
• For External Use Only: This product is for external use in formulating cosmetic and home fragrance products. Do not ingest.
