This is one of my all-time FAVORITE soaps to make (and sniff!).
Lemongrass essential oil has antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Plus, it smells ah-mazing!
You can order lemongrass essential oil from a variety of shops online or in retail stores. But my go-to's for a good quality oil are:
- Brambleberry
- Wholesale Supplies Plus
- New Directions Aromatics
And for dried calendula petals, I like to buy from Amazon here.
RECIPE:
10 oz. Coconut Oil
10 oz. Palm Oil
10 oz. Canola Oil
2 oz. Shea Butter
4.65 oz. Lye (Sodium Hydroxide)
10.55 oz. Water
1 oz. Lemongrass Essential Oil
Small handful of Calendula petals
