How do I keep a strong coconut scent in cold process DIY soaps?

May 12, 2016 11:07 AM

Coconut scent is especially susceptible to "scent fade" in cold process soaps. Has anyone found a good coconut fragrance oil that stays strong after the proofing period? Or does anyone have any hints or tips on keeping the scent strong for a long time?

Have you checked the product reviews at Wholesale Supplies Plus? I would slog through the reviews for all the different types of coconut fragrance they carry; there's usually a couple of people who will mention how it worked in cold process.

Wholesale Supplies Plus, based in Cleveland, Ohio, offers many scented oils, and each listing has extensive info on using that particular oil, and even better, customer reviews! I think you will be able to find a coconut scent that will work for you.

This company caters to the folks that are making a business of scented products, bath and beauty and personal care items. I purchase raw materials from them on a regular basis and the quality is excellent.

They also can offer advice and are very knowledgeable regarding CP soapmaking.
