Marisa Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I posted on this on the discussion board and here it is this morning. I cant believe the smell isnt bengay to me at all, ita like a rich peppermint with maybe a twist of vanilla (which may come from the unbelievable tea buds I I found yesterday and for a additive) I am really Loving the feel only the slightest tingle but mostly really refreshing and dosent make your skin smell of medicine..lol. I may up the crystals next time. I will say that I can see this base formula (without the peppermint & additives) I tried bcoming my favorite, the lather was awesome and left my skin really nice.. THANK GOD < THis never happens the first time for me!!LOL.. Just cut and not trimmed yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryann Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Your soap turned out GREAT looking!!!! I was so wondering how they turned out. I luv menthol crystals, I've only used them in foot products though I can imagine how awesome they are in your soap!! Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 Thanks, I have searched everywhere and could not find ANY info or recipes or anyone who had ever attempted it with this mix.and really thought it would be a big flop, but its a nice smooth peppermint with a slight kick to it. it was also my first time using silk in a recipe and I must say Im not sure if ill ever soap again without it! Why didnt someone tell me that silk made SUCH a difference. ( I know, you did and I wasnt listening).LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dixylight Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Wow...that sounds very refreshing to me...I just love peppermint in soap. I love that cooling sensation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sad72 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Looks great!! I, too, love soap that has that refreshing feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 The tingle has settled down quite a bit and can only tell a little on like my neck and face, I think I will add more next time. it still is quite refreshing and the tea bulbs I used may be just as big a part as the menthol.
