Lavender Soap, Straight-up...or Not!

Lavender is a love me or hate me scent. Nothing is better than straight-up, lavender soap if you love the scent. If you don't, lavender is a great mixer for other essential oils, and gets tamed down just a bit when blended. I have both in my soap shop, Soap Sense on Etsy. A straight-up lavender soap bar, and another blended scent that is an orange-lavender soap. Neither of these are what grandma used to use!


Aromatherapists recommend lavender essential oil to calm anxiety, minimize depression, relieve headaches, ease the itch of insect bites, soothe muscle pain, and more! Orange essential oil has many of the same aromatherapy qualities. And while I don't tout any of these remedies, I do know that these scents calm my mind and soul at the end of a long day.

Try one...you'll never go back to store bought soap!

Introducing...

...a new soap series - Texas Herb Garden! So many wonderful herbs grow in south Texas, and since I love my own herb garden and could incorporate some of the ingredients...why not make a soap series to go along with it?

My first soap creation was Lemon Balm - a wonderful herbal lemon scent with dried lemon balm from my garden and Litsea Cubeba (May Chang) essential oil to enhance the natural scent of the lemon balm.

Secondly, a soap I've made before, but now it has a home! Rosemary Mint - the perfect blend of sweet peppermint and herbal rosemary. This one has french green clay to give it a matching, light green color...and for shaving, it is perfect!

Coming Soon: Citrus Basil
