Rebecca's Lavender & Rosemary
Rebecca's Rosemary Lavender Soap
Makes 75 oz.
18 oz coconut oil
19.5 palm
26.3 Olive
9.8 avacado
1.5 castor oil
10.5 oz lye
25 oz distilled water
5 tsp mixture of Lavender and Rosemary.
About 7 months ago I developed an interest in Essential Oils, and started spending many
hours reading about and researching them. That's when I started also ordering them from
various places I found online, and experimenting w/them in carrier oils and diffusion.
Then a friend of mine gave me a white bar of her own home-made lavender soap, tied w/a
violet ribbon. When I took it in my hand, it was like, "POW" and I was hooked!
Then I started obsessively reading and researching about soap-making. I'd sit for hours at
my computer reading various websites, looking at the soaps, and reading books. It was
during my website forays that I found the great SoapNaturally website. This batch is my
very first, so, I'm sorry if it's the sorriest soap in the Swap! By the time the next Swap
comes around, I'll have a much better soap! I'm also doing a lot of reading now about
perfumery, and have made 3 or so little blends for myself, and a couple of them smell
pretty good.
