"Can essential oils cause this base to cloud?"

Click Here To View 3 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Anytime you mix an oil into a water based product, it can cloud. In this case, the base is considered water based and the eo is an oil. If you find your essential oil clouds we recommend first blending the essential oil with the Crafter's Choice Fragrance Oil Modifier and then add to the base. Heating the scented base slightly will also help prevent the base from clouding.

My experience has been that almost all of the essential and fragrance oils cause at least a little clouding in this base. Personally, we use the Pearlizer & Foam Booster which gives the finished soap a pearlized look and masks the clouding effect.

Posted By: Christina | Date: August 23, 2013

(4) Found this helpful. Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

I have found that if I continue to stir the oil with the base, it will eventually clear back up. Sometimes it takes a little while to get clear but I've never had mine stay cloudy!

	"Great Lather"
COMMENTS: When I purchased this body wash I was a little hesitant because I've only used a certain brand name body wash for years. Once I gave this body wash a try, I was surprised at the rich, thick lather and the suds it produced...OMG! My hubby is also picky when it comes to changing his body wash. After he used this, he liked it better than his preferred that he's always used. Family members loved it too. I ended up buying a 5 gal bucket of it to sell retail of my own. Every customer has come back and said that they enjoy taking a shower with it and end up buying another bottle.

	"The best base! "
COMMENTS: This base is amazing! It holds up well under fragrances even though some fragrances can thin it. We just put a little pearlizer and thickener in it and it holds up great. It lathers very well and holds up well under most circumstances. Our customers love our shower gels and tell us continuously that they will be back for it.

"Good quality"

COMMENTS: I have been using this product for some time now and this is one of the best products WSP carries. Not many ingredients and I have used liquid colorants, EO, fragrance, and foam booster is a great additive to the body wash. It has a very good lather and isn't watery like some store brands. I did find in the beginning that if I put too much mica for color, it would settle at the bottom of my bottle, but after adding foam booster, it gave a pearl effect.

"Great All Purpose Wash"

COMMENTS: This wash is perfect for hand soap, bubble bath and shower gel. It doesn't suspend things so keep that in mind when you order it for yourself. I tried initially to color it with a mica shimmer and it sunk to the bottom unfortunately. If you don't care to use shimmers or put snakes in it like one recipe calls for, then this one fits the bill. Lots of creamy bubbles with using a very small amount. I made the mistake of sending my friend some without telling her that it makes more bubbles than any other kind of bubble bath. She filled up a pool in her front yard and put in about half an 8oz bottle and next thing we know, we get pictures of all the neighbor kids covered in bubbles from head to toe!

	"Fabulous Bubbles!"
COMMENTS: I order this product on a regular basis. I used to order the gallon size but now it's a 5 gallon bucket everytime. All my customers absolutely love this shower gel. I get compliments every time someone first uses it. It holds scent very well and lathers wonderful. It's high quality and thick. I love the way my skin feels after a shower...nice and smooth not dry and itchy. I've had customers tells me it lasts long and leaves them clean and fresh. I'm so happy to have a product that my customer rant over. This is a must buy for me!
