Menthol Crystals into a soap

 

This time, I wanted to test the freshness of menthol crystals into a soap

The easiest way to incorporate it into a soap is to melt it with your butters. It's as simple as that!

Identity

Saponified oils: Olive, coco, canola oil, cacao butter, shea butter, castor oil

Colour: Charcoal for the blue, spiruline + green clay for the green and natural white  
Essential oils: None. but a minty smell with the menthol crystals
Superfats: Macerat of calendula/nettle on sunflower oil (5%)



Results

I did two different test with menthol crystals, one with 3% of the total oils and an other with twice less, 1.5%

And I much prefer the one with 1.5% of crystals. The smell and the sensation on the skin are less powerful than the soap with 3% which I think is far too much. Normally, the maximum of menthol crystals you can use into a cosmetic is 5%. After, it's up to your preference

You have this icy sensation on your skin with the fresh smell of menthol, it's quite enjoyable. It's definitely a wonderful soap for summer

  

By the way, I finally come up with the brand name! That's was quite tricky because most of the time, the name is already taken or the .com isn't available. So, I changed my mind a lot of time and now it's done. I've got my official name! I just have to wait for the official paper from INPI. When I get it, of course, you'll be the first to know it :)


Next step, the logo and the packaging... love it!
