Crafty1_AJ Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Yup, .5 oz. per pound of oils is a reasonable amount. You can go a bit higher, but be forewarned ... it will give a little "tingle" to the ummmmm...more "delicate" regions of the body, shall we say? Happy soaping! I LOVE peppermint eo soap. Very refreshing in summertime!Edited to add: It doesn't overheat or discolor when I make it. Are we talking CP or HP here, BTW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranberryGirl Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 Cp.....Is a water discount ok? and what about the Lye dicount or reg 5%?Thanks so Much!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I've never water discounted my peppermint soap, so I can't tell you there. I'd do a conservative one if you're going to experiment with it, just to be safe.I usually soap with a 5% lye discount, yes. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Girl Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Peppermint EO is an awesome mixer!Try mixing it with some lavender, mac apple, rosemary... hell, just about anything. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linnyeg Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I do a water discount w/ all of my soaps (including peppermint eo) it doesnt speed anything up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
