• Startups and small brands planning soaps, cleaners, room sprays, foot soaks or diffuser blends with lemongrass oil.
• Students and learners in soap making, home care and aromatherapy.
• Small manufacturers testing products at 100 g to 1 kg scale before bulk production.
• Why lemongrass: a strong, fresh lemony aroma at a low cost per kg, easy to blend and liked by customers of all ages.
• All formulas are given in % w/w and grams, so they scale up easily. 1% = 1 g in a 100 g batch.

Citral can cause skin allergy in some people, so keep skin products at low levels and patch test. Always weigh essential oils in grams and keep away from eyes and children.

Batch size: 1 kg (about ten 100 g bars)

Method

1. Cut the soap base into cubes and melt at 60–65°C. Do not boil.
2. Mix the clay into a little melted base, then stir it back in.
3. Cool to about 55°C, add the oils and stir gently.
4. Pour into moulds, spray with rubbing alcohol, set 2 to 4 hours and wrap at once.

Quality checks

Labelling

• Adding essential oil to water without a solubiliser or surfactant.
• Storing the oil in half-empty containers, which speeds up oxidation.

• White label and contract manufacturing for brands without their own factory.
