When choosing my essential oils, what determines when I choose water-based over oil-based essential oils? The question is referring to melt & pour soaps.

Which company sells the best quality of essential oils? I ask because I purchased just one from Amazon just as a demo. I dabbed a small amount on the back of my wrist and 30 minutes later, the small was completely gone. Needless to so I was very disappointed. :evil:

Essential oils are not water based. IF they are, they have been diluted and are not pure.
Essential oils by themselves are not safe to use undiluted on the skin. They need to be diluted in a carrier oil first, so they are safe for skin use.
The exception is when you use essential oils in soap. Then you use them as is in a safe %. NOt all essential oils are used at the same %.
Amazon is not the best place to buy essential oils. Which essential oils are looking for and in what quantity?
BrambleBerry sells a few essential oils.

Hi Soapylove, I asked that question because I thought I had read that somewhere, and just wanted to be sure. To answer your questions about which oils I'm looking for, honestly I have about 50 that I want to purchase and then just experiment with different combinations. I've done a lot of research over the last few months reading and watching how to video's. I just want to create a good product and have fun doing it. Thanks so much and I look forward to chatting with you again. There's a wealth of knowledge here and I know I'll learn to lot!!!

If a vendor claims that their essential oils are water soluble then they are diluted with a surfactant. That's the only way any essential oil would be water soluble.
Personally, I would not use this in a soap or lotion, since you don't know what exactly it's diluted with and the % ratios would be off.
BrambleBerry has a fragrance calculator that lists how much an essential oil can be used and in which medium.
