First batch of HP soap

[kelleyaynn]

I'm going to make my first batch of HP soap (in the slow cooker), and I wanted to make a kitchen soap. I don't have any lemon essential oil, and I don't want to wait to order some, or trek over to Wegman's during our snowstorm. I have winter grapefruit, eucalyptus, rosemary, tea tree, and basil. Any suggestions on which one (or ones) would be good for a kitchen soap?

i vote eucalyptus and rosemary, but that is just cuz i like them.

I vote grapefruit and rosemary. Rosemary to anchor and grapefruit for fresh citrus scent. Good luck let us know what you use.

I vote eucalyptus because I love it and because I think I read somewhere that it helps with bad odours.

yah, i wouldn't use for cooking either. try your local thrift stores for a second crockpot (also a second coffee grinder if you like to grind things for soap too), second set of funnels, spatulas, and anything else that might taste/smell like soap after you've used it for soap. ask me how i know hah, meat loaf in a silicon mold i'd used once for soap, hahahaahhhhhh
