Make lavender rosemary soap, or just rosemary soap, with the recipe below. Rosemary is one of those therapeutic, yet inexpensive, essential oils, perfect for a morning shower. This essential oil is considered to be antimicrobial and antiseptic, meaning it can help combat eczema and dermatitis. For that morning shower, Rosemary has shown to improve alertness and cognitive awareness, and is now being studied for uses against dementia.

And another very pretty version of a Lavender and Rosemary soap, with lavender petals right inside the soap. And this label technique is unique as well, card on the front held on by ribbon:
FYI: My random notes for this soap in my soap recipe binder state, “5 T of scent too weak?”, “no color”.
