What’s so great about Lavender? I think that Lavender essential oil is indispensable in the home, I ALWAYS keep some in the first aid kit for burns and insect bites. The essential oil of Lavender added to handmade soap is great for acne, dermatitis, and eczema. Too much sun over spring break? Lavender soap can assist in healing the skin! Known for its healing and relaxing properties, Lavender is one of the world’s most widely used and versatile herbs. Lavender soap makes a great housewarming gift.

Soothe your hot and weary feet! Soap that contains Peppermint essential oil lends an invigorating, tingling sensation to the skin. While the grassy-minty camphoraceous scent of Peppermint is found in everything from toothpaste to pharmaceuticals, the scent in the morning shower is a great way to put a smile on your face. Peppermint soap makes great gifts for men and athletic youngsters.

A new soap variety that mixes essential oils of Lavender and Peppermint with the soothing power of ground Oatmeal will also be available soon.
