Citrus Mint Soap Recipes
Citrus and mint fragrances go together really well in soap. You get a doubly refreshing bar, perfect for that morning shower or whenever you need a little pick-me-up. When you’re blending citrus fragrances with mint, use a strong peppermint oil. Spearmint and wintergreen type fragrances seem to clash with the fruit scents, but peppermint is a great complimentary addition.
