I would say that lavender is one of the top scents to scent bath and body products. I am not sure why that is but I bet that it is because it is a very relaxing scents. If lavender happens to be your favorite scent you may find that this cold process soap recipe called Lavender Dream Soap from David Fisher from About.com would fit the bill.
For this recipe you it will take 30 minutes to prepare your ingredients and 30 minutes to cook for a total time of 60 minutes.
The ingredients for this cold process soap recipe you will need to purchase for this recipe are 6.8 oz. palm oil, 10.2 oz. coconut oil, 1.7 oz cocoa butter, 10.2 oz. olive oil, 1.7 oz. castor oil, 3.4 oz. sunflower oil, 4.9 oz. lye, 11.3 oz. of distilled water, 2 TBS of lightly ground lavender buds, .4 oz. orange essential oil, .4 oz. patchouli essential oil and .8 oz. lavender essential oil.
The combination of orange, patchouli and lavender essential oils really sounds like a nice blend. I bet that is what the author meant by "Dream" in the title of the soap.
