Stephenson White Soap Base and Aromatherapy

One of the great things about working with Stephenson white soap base is that you can create aromatherapy soaps suited to your own personal tastes, all in a traditional looking white soap base.

If you choose to use essential oils in your soap base, you should add one teaspoon per pound, or one tablespoon per pound if you prefer using fragrance.

You can use any combination of essential oils you like for your aromatherapy soaps.

For a soothing and relaxing aromatherapy experience, try adding chamomile, lavender or geranium.

For an invigorating and energizing scent, you can add peppermint, eucalyptus, orange, lemon or grapefruit essential oils. (If you have especially sensitive skin, you should only use minimal amounts of citrus oil, which are known to increase the risk of sunburn.)

If you would like to make a nice masculine smelling bar of soap, try adding a combination of patchouli and vetiver to your melted soap base.

You can also add seasonal essential oils to Stephenson white soap base for great holiday gifts. Peppermint makes a great Christmas smell, and pumpkin scented soaps would be excellent gifts for those who love Halloween.
