Olive Pomace Grade Carrier Oil is a very versatile oil. It is often used in manufacturing and is a popular choice with soap makers. Pomace is used in cold pressed soap making as it contains a high percentage of unsaponifiables binding the other oils used in the process so the mixture sets quickly. Care needs to be taken when adding fragrant or essential oil as these also cause saponification to happen quickly. Absorption: Absorbs into skin at average speed, and leaves slightly oily feeling on skin.
