can these oils be used in soaps and lotions?

if you can stand the smell of them, they can be used in oils and lotions. They smell terrible though. I tried to post a comment on how bad the oils were but the seller took the comment down, saying it was a product review and not related to the seller. They seem to be essential oil grade; they just reek.

I'm sure they would blend nicely in lotion and possibly soap. I blend a few drops of essential oils with coconut oil and it works well. I know from experience, it takes a ton of oil for candle making and is not worth the time or effort.

I used these for lotion and were good so I assume they would work for oils.

I have used them in jojoba, sunflower and fractionated coconut oil and they are wonderful! But, these are mild almost scentless oils. I'm not sure about olive or castor oil since they are such a strong unusual smell on their own...especially castor oil. I'm not sure what you'd come up with! All you can do is try and see what happens. These are really great fragrances and the smell lasts FOREVER...I just love them! Good luck!

You can mix this oil with different ones to make lotions. A lot of people will use Shea butter and whip them with different oils that can be used on both skin and hair. It takes a little bit of research for the best combination. Not sure about Perfume, but I'm pretty sure so long as it's diluted. You can look up the difference between essential oils and carrier oils.

I be honest. I really don't know. I mix this oil with my hair and body butters that I make for fragrance. Essential oils are usually mixed with a carrier oil like jojoba, almond, coconut and then used on the body. I hope this helped.

Technically, you could use the ones approved for topical usage in soaps and such, but I would not recommend topical use for any of these oils. I purchased and immediately returned them because they smelled bad (lavender smelled horrible, peppermint smelled like the candy instead of actual peppermint, Four Thieves smelled only like clove, etc.) and were not at all comparable to the high-quality oils that I already trust. I am concerned about what additives may be lurking in these bottles...

These are therapeutic grade oils. Therefore they are meant to be made for a aromatherapy, soap making, for external uses using a carrier oil, etc. I wouldn't consider this food grade as I have not used these as that purpose. You might want to look at Now Foods. Those are food grade oils. Hope this helps.

Yes I have used them by itself with no bad reactions but I still would suggest using a carrier oil because all skin is different.I mainly use this oils to mix with my lotions, bath gels for my business. Hope I answered your question.

Yes but I would go easy cause they are very potent & may say to not ingest them. Check it out first. They're wonderful for lotions, soaps, etc too.

I cannot imagine why not. It is 100% cottonseed oil (if my memory is correct, I am out of town and cannot check the bottle right now). When mixed with water I just rub it in in place of body lotion. It may be a bit oily to put it on directly, and then put on clothes. But, perhaps it would work just fine.

I have never used it like that but have mixed it in with coconut oil to make a lotion and it works well with that...I would be cautious if using it in a bath due to "areas" that could be sensitive to the oils....

This oil can certainly be used to make cleaning products, although I would not use it as a detergent by itself. You can Google homemade cleaning recipes and you will find lots of recipes and information.

I don't see why not since it is a very mild soap. My in laws used it in their maple cabinets.

No I have never used it for making soap, however I do know that it is used as a by product in soap. I will see if I can find a recipe. I use it as my oil base to cook all my food, sauter veggies, creme my skin and moisturize my hair.

I used it in some lotion bars I made..however it was too strong...I recommend using the scented body oils for potions and soaps...
