I love Eucalypus and Spearmint. You should get Natures Garen's Sinus Relief scent. It smells just like Vicks. It is fantastic in soap and especially for shower steamers. It will help with all the allergy stuffy noses. It's also great for putting in lotion for a chest rub.

Beautiful soap Ellen, love the color combo you did for swirls. I love Nature's Garden Eucalyptus and Spearmint F.O. when I make it, it's always a hit! 😊😊

[melodycross]

The Eucalyptus & Spearmint is a fragrance oil and not essential oils correct?

[elizabethnielson-xtgv]

I love watching you make soap. It’s almost therapeutic for me.

Thanks for the recipe, Ellen! I used it today subbing olive for sunflower as I didn't have enough. It was a gorgeous batter. Thank you! Your soap inspired me for an ocean theme with blues. Peace and good vibes to you.

These did turn out beautifully!!! I bet they smell FANTASTIC!

This would be a pretty Earth Day soap. It reminds me of the earth with the rounded swirl in the center.

[teresashemeliuk]

Beautiful design, have a beautiful day and thank you for sharing.❤️

[firdowskruger]

Thanks, Ellen. I also make a Eucalytpus and Mint soap but with EOs. I use peppermint instead of Spearmint even though spearmint is my preferred fave.

[venturesr]

This is one of my favourite fragrances. It's lovely in bath bombs as well.
Beautiful soap, Miss Ellen!

I am OBSESSED with with the colors! Beautifully done again! ❤️🐝

[patriciaboatman]

Is there an issue shrink wrapping soap a long as end are open to help seal in the essential oils until they are sold or gifted? I used a hole puncher to puch holes in a couple of spots. Just wondering the pros/cons?

[MsAubrey]

I use similar colors for my eucalyptus mint soaps. ❤

[debbiemurphy]

I like how they look like ocean currents.

[dawnsantarlasci]

When you premix Titanium Dioxide, what percentage do you use? I would like to make a bottle ahead of time.

[christinamcdonald]

Do you not sell your soaps anymore? I seen your shop was closed and was wondering if it was ever coming back?

[brendarowe]

Ellen if I don't have lard can I use olive oil or tallow ? And would I still use 12.6 oz?
Thank-you.

[MichelleBiggs]

Hi Ellen, do you happen to have a recommendation for a good quality, small soap loaf splitter>

[melissahernandez]

Did you have any issues with scent fading? I haven’t found a minty scent that sticks!

[KamalaDevi-mb]

Beautiful soap. What can I substitute lard with.
