How to use xylitol

The right amount of birch sugar xylitol for your craft projects in soap, candles and cosmetics can vary depending on specific goals and personal preference. Here are general guidelines to help you determine the right amount:

1. Soap

• For handmade soap, we recommend using about 1 to 2 teaspoons of birch sugar xylitol per 100 grams of soap base. This gives a subtle sweetness and texture to the soap. It also provides more lather when washing. Adjust the amount based on the desired intensity and batch size.

2. Cosmetics

• When formulating cosmetic products such as lotions, scrubs or lip balms, you can start with 1 to 2% birch sugar xylitol of the total product weight. This gives a subtle, natural sweetness and can be adjusted based on your personal preference for fragrance and texture.

3. Toothpaste

• Make your own toothpaste with xylitol. You can make this with: 4 tablespoons coconut oil, 4 tablespoons baking soda, 1 tablespoon xylitol, 1 drop peppermint oil en 1 glass jar for storage

It is important to remember that these quantities are guidelines, and it is advisable to always make and test a small sample batch to achieve the desired intensity of sweetness and aroma before producing larger quantities. In addition, personal preferences and the nature of your products may vary, so adjust the amount to meet the specific needs of your creative projects.
