Staff Answer Oils that are odorless and lightweight, such as the two mentioned can be used in diffusers. The suggested use of fragrance oils is 0.5 to 5% by weight. You will need to test this in a small batch.

"In a responce to a question, here on questions and answers, it was said as a suggestion, to add Vitiman E to almond oil. I thought almonds are high in vitamin E. Why would you want to add more vitamin E to almond oil? Too much vitamin E is not good for you. Thanks "

Staff Answer There is no set amount to use in a facial oil. You can combine with other oils or use straight on the face, if desired. Sweet Almond has a low comedogenic rating so will not clog pores if used alone.

Staff Answer Adding any type of oil, other than a fragrance, will cut down on the lather of the soap. Essential oils do perform very well in MP soap.

Staff Answer You can substitute the Sweet Almond Oil with any other oil of your choosing. We would suggest trying either Apricot Kernel or Clear Jojoba oil. We have not tested these oils in this recipe so please be sure to do so in a small batch to ensure your results.

Staff Answer That will depend on the recipe and the calculator you are using. The recipe may state Almond Oil but actually be referring to Sweet Almond Oil. Our Lye Calculator only offers Almond Butter or Sweet Almond Oil as choices, no Almond Oil.

"I noticed that WSP doesn't offer an unrefined option for this product. I've read that the refining process depletes many of the vitamins & health benefits that originally make the product appealing in the first place. Can you tell me if the refined oil still has the same benefits as the unrefined oil?"

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Refining, depending on the process, doesn't necessarily remove the benefits. The refining process takes away the possibly unwanted smell. For instance it would be impossible to completely manipulate soap scent if you were competing with UNrefined coconut, almond, & others fragrances. Refining also helps with clarity.

Yes you could use it this way but be mindful that certain essential oils can be irritants to babies.

I would think this would be a good massage oil for babies based on the fact that it is a light oil, spreads very well and is easily absorbed into the skin. As far as essential oils...be sure to research which ones are safe for babies...and also remember that this is made from almonds, so be sure the baby doesn't have any nut-related allergies.
