Fall essential oil blends for soap?
Can Iuse these essential oil blends for soap and body products, too? Yes, but youwill have to make a few adjustments. Spice-derived essential oils are verypotent, and you should use them in a lower concentration than milder essentialoils such as lavender.
Cinnamon bark can be irritating, especially on sensitive skin, and should be avoided in soap or DIY beauty products. Use a small amount of cinnamon leaf or cassia instead. And, when introducing your skin to a new EO, do an essential oil patch test first to see how your skin reacts.
