I have two new soaps curing. I made these last week. Both are Rosemary Mint. However, one is just a plain jane bar scented with rosemary mint fragrance and sprinkled with rosemary leaves. The other is a special, very limited edition shampoo and body bar created for my friend Leah. It's scented with rosemary mint but then also has natural rosemary, peppermint and tea tree oils added. It's my regular olive oil and shea butter recipe but with unscented, luxury goat milk soap balls added for extra love.

The shampoo and body bar is awesome if you are prone to acne or suffer from seborrheic dermatitis. I used essential oils known to help aid in the relief of these problems.

Rosemary essential oil is used often for aching muscles, arthritis, dandruff, hair care, and poor circulation. While tea tree oil is great for acne, oily skin and even athlete's foot and cold sores. It's touted as being anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral. Peppermint essential oil is often used for skin irritation and itchiness as well as dermatitis and acne. So the three make a great combination for scalp and skin care. Look for these soaps at Rebecca's Soap Delicatessen in about three weeks.

In the meantime, you can craft a new soap dish while you're waiting. Fiskars has a simple diy tutorial for making jewelry dishes, but with a hole or two in the bottom of the dish, and maybe some feet, you can convert these fun polymer clay dishes into a home for your favorite soaps.
