Castille soap

I have a bottle of liquid castille soap around.  I have not used it.  I am ready to use it.  I just wondier if I will add essential oil to it or if it is recommended.  There is a few find that I made but I did not search for the answer to my question.  I guess that I can do whatever I please with the castille soap that I have.  The essential oils would probably add a nice smell to the castille soap, I guess.  So, it will end with a nice experimentation.  I like when I am a mad essential oils mixer!  Too bad there isn't any university level diploma in mad science!  I would add the mad essential oils mixer in the curriculum.

I had done some soaps with a 2 Lbs melt and pour castille soap base (that I found here:https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01DRNAW3G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).  I have tested one.  Very nice feeling.  They are nice looking, for sure.  I don't remember if I took photos of them.  I think it was those nice turquoise coloured one.  Time to track soap ingredients a little bit closely when I am doing soap making!  I was a bit surprised when I saw this melt and pour soap base and I wanted to test it.  Well, it is done and I don't regret it.  What I liked the most was cutting it.  It was really easy to cut.  In addition, putting colour to it was fun to do.  I thought the colour would be a little bit paler than what I got.  Usually, it is always paler when using white melt and pour base.  Not in this case.  So, I think I will buy this base once in a while, for gifts.

For vegan people, I found a nice article on a description of castille soap: https://www.thespruce.com/castile-soap-uses-in-green-cleaning-1707020.  It explain that castille soap is made from pure olive oil.  So, no animals or animal products in this soap.  All vegan.  Just realized that there a few items that can be in the castille soap and essential oils is mentioned.  So, got my answer.  Sometimes I read too fast, so I guess the line with essential oils didn't register in my brain.  It also explain some uses like house cleaning and brushing teeth.  Even if it is a gentle soap, I am not game yet to test it on my gum.  I do have a wild side when it comes to experiementing, I must not wild enough for that yet.  I guess it may be because I haven't worked much with castille soap yet.

The last link also have a link on how to make castille soap.  I found a really quick video that show how to do it but no integrated recipe:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgQJjMgyrCw  It was really quick and speeded up.  The part with measuring the ingredient is a bit scary for me.  I am not very good with scales.  In addition, I wonder if the various oils must be heated, to be in a liquid state.  It is not mentioned in the video.  It can be messy, or I am not a patient person.  I am usually on the go when doing soap.  I am always affraid to take too much time and that the ingredients had time to return to an hard state.  As I don't have all the ingredients for this recipe, I have time to look around and have a good look for the ingredients.
