Make Your Own Rosemary Soap
In my house, we love making natural handmade soap. We get to choose exactly what to use and usually the bar soaps last for a long time. I love knowing this soap mixture doesn’t have any harsh chemicals, making it one of the best natural skincare products! Depending on the season, I might try different oils – for example, in winter, we get really dry skin so the best soap for us is one with mint leaves and sandalwood essential oils.

For night time we use lavender essential oil soap as it’s a great way to relax after a long day.
This time I made Rosemary soap for my morning shower. A study published by the International Journal of Neuroscience found that rosemary essential oil is also great for memory and mental clarity. Not only that, but rosemary has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, making it the best way to ease headaches and muscle soreness at home. To make things better – the scent of rosemary is so good, that you won’t be able to resist making these soap bars over and over again.
They also make great Mother’s day or birthday gifts! Especially for people with sensitive skin that prefer organic ingredients and natural soap bars. You can even add dried rosemary leaves on the top of the soap for a nicer look, or wrap them in tissue paper (or wax paper) and seal them with some washi tape to gift to friends and family.
