Hello, You can prepare the body butter without fragrance, but you can also use another essential oil or natural fragrance of your choice, e.g. natural fragrance , Pink bouquet, Cherry Blossom or Damask rose absolute. When replacing Roses natural fragrance with Damask Rose absolute, reduce the amount from 1% to 5-10 drops. Good luck

Hello! Murumuru butter is softer than kokum butter, as a substitute cocoa butter would be more suitable in this case.

Hello, Carmen! Coffee butter is much softer compared to kokum butter, and substituting it would result in a body butter that is perhaps too soft. You could rethink the formula, using a larger amount of butter (about 80-85 grams) and decreasing the amount of fluid vegetable oils accordingly.

Hello Nicole. These natural perfumes are mainly intended for cosmetic compositions. We have also worked with them in candles and melt&pour soaps, but have not tested them in cold process soaps. They can be tried in smaller batches first, the percentage would be similar as in conventional perfumes, possibly a little higher as they don't have the specific intensity of synthetic compounds.

Good evening! Can the natural fragrance Amber or other fragrances in this category be used for perfuming natural soaps made by the cold method? If yes, what is the appropriate percentage? Thank you!

Hello Maria. You can replace this ingredient with a vegetable oil, preferably one with a less oily texture, or you can supplement the amount of fig oil appropriately. Good thoughts!

Hello Dana. Basically yes, you can make the substitution, the difference will be in the feel of the cream on the skin: the volatile silicone evaporating, the skin will feel a slightly less oily layer, but not significantly.
