More to soap than Clean

There are as many soap recipes as there are cookie recipes and all offer unique benefits to the user.  Olive, Coconut, Palm and other oils all bring something special to soap but for me, the Essential Oils are where the fun comes in.  Using a variety of Essential Oils enables you to target concerns you may have with your skin or even your mood.   In my most recent batch of soap, I used Cedarwood Essential Oil.   What do you know about Cedar Oil??



FUN FACTS about Cedarwood Oil!

1.  Natural Insect Repellant
2.  Soothes irritated skin
3.  Controls Oil
4.  Promotes Courage and Clarity of Thought - I like this one!  Clarity of thought!!
