Christmas Foaming Hand Soap Scent Combinations
* Please note that these recipe combinations will produce a mild to moderate fragrance for a standard mason jar sized container, if you would like your fragrance stronger simply double the recipe, if you are using a smaller container consider decreasing the number of drops if you do not wish for the fragrance to be strong. Also, be aware that it does take about 24 hours for the scent to fully incorporate into the soap mixture therefore the scent will strengthen within the first day after making.
