"Since the usage rate is 0.02-0.05%, in cold process soap would it be correct to add 2-5 drops per pound of oil to prevent DOS? Since that converts to 0.0032-0.008 oz respectively for the usage rates (and online that converts to approximately 2-5 drops), or would the drop rate be different based on the weight/density of the ROE?

	"DILUTION TIP "
COMMENTS: An ABSOLUTE MUST in everyone’s cabinet! This definitely extends the storage life of all your products. It helps to warm up your ROE before diluting, it makes for easier measuring. 1 TBSP ROE to 1 oz warm vegetable oil (I do 3 TBSP ROE to 3 oz oil & put it in a 4 oz bottle, you might have a tad that won’t fit) To use: 1/8 tsp-1/2 tsp diluted ROE per pound of oil If you dilute your ROE, you will not waste a single drop of ROE on the bottom of the bottle! You can use a little warm oil to ‘rinse’ that bottle. For dilution, warm oil is best. Make sure you melt down your solid oils, like coconut & palm. Butters also need to be melted down (I add the diluted ROE as I use them, butters are messier). This way all the molecules can integrate & give you the biggest benefit. I know this can be labor intensive & sometimes messy, but you need to do this. You will be forever grateful! It DOES NOT change the color or smell of your oil. We’re talking only a 1/2 tsp diluted ROE, at the most, to 1 lb of oil! I add this to all my oils as soon as I get them. I then refrigerate or freeze them for an even longer shelf life. I also freeze my diluted & undiluted ROE. It thaws out pretty quickly. Now all your products have this. This is a game changer! I’ve been doing this about 12 years & I wouldn’t change a thing!

COMMENTS: This is a necessity for me. I immediately add this to every carrier oil as soon as I get a new shipment in. It helps to stabilize and keep oils from going rancid. ROE is a very concentrated, thick, dark green oil, but it does not change the color or scent of any oils I add this to. I also add this to my CP soaps as well during the oil phase. Haven't had any DOS since I've been using this! Love this stuff!

COMMENTS: We have been using this for about 2-3 years now and have noticed a longer shelf life in our soaps before they start to "turn". You do not need to use much but it will discolor soap a bit as we have noticed compared to batches without ROE. A few customers ( very few) have experienced itchiness when using soap with ROE added.

"Great for CP soap"

COMMENTS: I make goat's milk soap...no water added at all...and this seems to help in the shelf life. I have not added it to my whipped body butters, but I plan to. My recipes all call for drops of ROE, so a dropper top would be a nice addition.

"Happy to have this"

COMMENTS: I use this to keep my oils from going bad in my body butters , lotion bars and scrubs. I feel more confident in making more product ahead of time now. This really helped me in the production of my products. This is a must have in any natural skin care line. This does have a smell, but if you use at the recommended amount you won't smell a thing even in your unscented products.

"quality item but -1 star for packaging"

COMMENTS: I'm a new customer and am amazed that Styrofoam peanuts are still used in packaging:( My small half ounce of rosemary oleoresin came in a 10" x 10" box filled with the non degradable peanuts. Between the two orders (three boxes) that I just received (on the same day) I have a trashbag full of styrofoam peanuts and feel so guilty throwing these out in my trash. Sorry to be a downer here but this company needs to be a little more eco-friendly. Love the prices and products though.

"good product"

COMMENTS: I have used this product in room temp soap method especially when using oils that are known to go rancid quicker. The scent is kind of like a paint smell but not unpleasant and doesn't affect the scent in final product. The color is dark greenish brown and needs to be stirred a bit to mix. It didn't affect the end product color or accelerate trace. No problems with oils going rancid when I used this product.

"Perfect antioxidant for soaps."

COMMENTS: My new go to source for ROE!! Much better than ROE I had found elsewhere and the free shipping is an added bonus. There is a bit of scent (it is rosemary, after all)but nothing that is not covered easily with fragrance. I would not make soap without it simply due to the added confidence of preventing unsaponified oils from going rancid. Thanks so much WSP for a great product!!

	"Rosemary Oleoresin Extract "
COMMENTS: I use this Rosemary Oleoresin Extract in cold process soap. I can superfat at a higher amount and I don't have to worry about the oils going rancid. I use it when I master batch my oils, add it then, and it’s much easier. This works great, its job is to keep the oils from oxidizing, so I am able to protect against this from the start before the soap is made. It does not leave a scent or color in soap at lower levels. It's economical so I don’t waste oils through rancidity; effective-never had a batch of soap go bad while using this; and natural which is important to my clients.
