Staff Answer Are you using the extracts at 2% each or 2% total?

2% each

Posted By: Arnhielly | Date: September 15, 2020

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Staff Answer We typically recommend that if more than 5% additives are incorporated into the base, the current preservative system will be diluted and additional preservative will be required. SO in this case, you should add one. However, the extracts contain preservative as well, so you may be okay to not add any. We would still recommend to add one to be safe.

"Can this product be used in an oil based product where this is added along with poly 80? Would I need something else instead too mix in for the water soluble extract and oil? "

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer If you are adding Poly 80, this should mix into your oil based product but you would need to test to be sure it will blend properly.

Posted By: WSP Staff | Date: June 30, 2020

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Would I then need a preservative along with tbe water soluble extract and the poly 80 in an oil only product?

Posted By: Tarsha | Date: June 30, 2020

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Staff Answer The Calendula Extract contains Sodium Benzonate, Potassium Sorbate and Citric Acid which are preservatives. If your product will have contact with water, then you would need to add a preservative. Without knowing the product, we cannot definitely say if you would need to add one but you can't go wrong with adding one to be on the safe side.

Hello, I have never personally tried this so I would make a tester cold process batch first. Since it is water soluble I do not see why you could not add it to the distilled water and then go through the process as normal. Thank You For Your Question

Posted By: erin | Date: September 15, 2013

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Staff Answer They are most popular in liquid washes and hair products but absolutely can be used in cp soap. I would add to the water phase.

Posted By: WSP Staff | Date: September 16, 2013

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

In my opinion, It might do o.k., I'm not sure it would survive the saponification process. Most extracts are heat sensitive. In lotions and body butters, it's typically added during the cool down phase to retain properties.
