Soap as Art – Green Smoothie

I’ve been getting a lot of comments about how my soap looks good enough to eat (thanks everyone!).  I don’t want to encourage that; I mean eating soap is definitely not good for you!  I was toying with the idea of calling this soap, “(Don’t) Eat These Greens”, but Green Smoothie won in a poll I ran on Facebook/Instagram, so Green Smoothie it is!

This soap is made from my standard oil blend and is scented with Rosemary essential oil and Peppermint essential oil.  The green coloring comes from Nettle Leaf powder and Alfalfa powder.

Rosemary essential oil – The scent is a memory stimulant.  Allows us to open to new experiences.  Gives confidence.  Can stimulate hair growth if used on the scalp.  Can help balance the Vishuddha (5th / throat) chakra.

Peppermint essential oil – Cooling, refreshing.  Enhances mental alertness.  Has natural energy-boosting properties.  Enhances your mood, and sharpens your focus.  Helps to balance the Manipura (3rd / solar plexus) chakra.
