Hi guys, please help me find a better name for this EO blend and this soap.
It was requested by DH, who wanted a deodorizing type of soap. We have noticed coffee in our hand scrubber soap having a deodorizing effect, so we planned this soap with coffee.
It is smooth (no oatmeal or poppy seeds) and we researched essential oil properties to combined the antiseptic/'deodorizing' ones in such a way that we enjoyed the scent blend. He asked to smell the lemongrass stronger, then the lemon and rosemary, then the tea tree. I think I got it in the right proportions (I shared this blend in the thread about creating smells out of a group of EOs).
lemon, rosemary, lemongrass and tea tree
3, 2, 1.5, 1 (tsps in 900g oils)
This does smell like he wanted. The soap is now almost cured, so I need to label it. I name all my soaps, but if they have more than 2-3 EOs they get a new name based on our imagination. We have been calling it 'stinky husband soap' for the whole cure time, now we cannot think of a more marketable name......
By the way the soap is brown, with an obvious partial gel. My stamp makes the partial gel look OK, at least neither my customers nor I mind it..... I will take pictures soon, today is not a good light day.
The fact that there is coffee could go in the name but it is optional. Thanks for any ideas!
