600 ml (2½ cups) still mineral water
75 ml (5 tbs) glycerine

1tsp orange oil

Peppermint Shower Soap

100 gm (4oz) plain soap
600 ml (2½ cups) still mineral water
75 ml (5 tbs) glycerine

Putting it together

Grate the soap into the top section of a double boiler and add water. Heat together until soap is melted. Add the glycerine, remove from heat and stir thoroughly. when the mixed has cooled somewhat, add the essential oils and stir. Bottle and apply when in the shower.

You can make up anything you like with the basic recipe, just change the essential oil but keep the other ingredients the same.
