Sexy soap for the missus

[CuriousCat]

Hi,
I’m trying to make a sexy soap for my beloved wife that we can use in the shower together.. does anyone have any recommendations of what % of essential oils to use so as to stimulate and not burn?

I know it is a silly question but I have to ask because I tried this with 10% cayenne pepper oil as I assumed it would give a slight tingle and diluted it with peppermint oil but instead of a tingle she got a rash..

It's not a silly question. Not asking in the first place was irresponsible and damaging. Don't make her be your guinea pig. That is really unsexy.

Peppermint EO gives a little zing. I usually use about .5oz for a 2lb batch.

LOL! Sounds like you have fun showers at your place. Some oils are ( in aromatherapy terms) 'mood' stimulators - like ylang ylang, patchouli, clary sage, sandalwood, cinnamon, etc. But these are not necessarily good in soap, so do your homework. Cinnamon can be irritating to a lot of people and it comes with warnings.
Say hi to the missus!

I think a lovely scented soap, rather than a stimulating soap might be a lot nicer all round.
