Q&A

I made melt & pour soap using Detergent Free Goat's Milk base, Stained Glass Lemon Lime drops for color, (10 drops per 1 pound of soap), and Lemongrass EO #138 per the fragrance calculator recommendation. My soaps partially turned an orange-like color a few weeks later. Any idea what made that happen?

The color change is due to the fragrance oil, Over time the color of the soap will change.

Do you have the Latin names available for your essential oils? There are different varieties of lemongrass Cymbopogon citratus and Cymbopogon Flexuosus and they don't quite smell the same.

The information that is available for this essential oil is that it is Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Oil.

When calculating the IFRA limits of an essential oil to skin cream or any other topical use, there are varying numbers for each oil. Does this mean you can have UP TO that amount from one essential oil, or does it mean with using this particular essential oil, it is the most the combined essential oils cab be in volume allowed to be skin safe.Also, the flash points are listed in degrees. Is this Celsius or Fahrenheit?

If using a single essential oil, you would follow the IFRA rating for the product you are making. That is the maximum you can use. If mixing oils, you still need to follow the maximum IFRA for each oil, ex. you can use 0.25% Lemongrass EO and 5.0% Lavandin EO in your face cream. Also, flashpoints are in Fahrenheit.

Does lemongrass essential oil cause photosensitivity like lemon and other citrus plants do to skin?

From everything I have read, the answer would be no since it is a grass and not an actual citrus fruit.

Can Lemongrass EO be used in MP soap if so how many oz. or drops per pound of soap?

Yes, you can use Lemongrass EO in MP soap. In looking at the Overview tab for the MP soap you want to use, it will state " recommended aroma additives - Skin Safe Essential Oil - Maximum 1%". For 16oz of soap base, 1% is 5ml. Hope this helps!
