About Scent Extracts (Fragrance Oils)
Based on the products found, what you refer to as "scent extract" likely corresponds to Fragrance Oils. These are specifically designed to impart scent and generally smell similar to typical fragrances.
Regarding solubility, most fragrance oils are oil-soluble, meaning they mix well with oils and fats, but do not dissolve in water. There are some specialized water-soluble fragrance options available, but standard fragrance oils are not water-soluble.
Fragrance oils are commonly used in various cosmetic products, including:
- Creams
- Lotions
- Bar soaps
However, suitability for soap making can vary depending on the specific fragrance oil's stability in the high pH environment of soap. Always check the product details or recommended usage for specific applications.
