Rosemary Mint

Last time I made this soap I made it a shampoo bar, and it didn't go over very well. This time its just a regular soap. Rosemary essential oil with a touch of Mint, its invigorating and astringent. This time I used Spearmint essential oil just to try it out.

Rosemary is one of the essential oils that smells a bit "off" another one is Ginger. Recently a customer said that she received a soap that smelled strange. I knew immediately that it was the Ginger Lime, it just doesn't smell like ginger lime made with frgrance oils. The ginger is not liked cooked ginger but rather a more intense raw ginger. Rosemary is similar, the essential oil is earthier than the spice you use in the kitchen...darker somehow. I am hoping that the lighter mint of Spearmint as opposed to the Peppermint I use normally for this soap, will make the scents less earthy. Those who area fan of Rosemary and like the earthier scents like Patchouli might like it the way it was. Or the Spearmint might make no difference at all. Time will tell.

I also added Sea Clay to give this soap a hint of green. Also contains Kiwi Seeds for some exfoliation fun.
