Yet again...

Made another batch a couple of nights ago. Cut it this morning. Lavender Mint from Island Escape in Newfoundland, Canada. An In The Pot swirl with a white pot base and violet and green accents. Seems to have come out really well. The mint is kind of overpowering the lavender though. I was hoping for more lavender. I used the old lye I have (78% pure) but adjusted it according to DeeAnna's instructions. The bars seem to have come out perfect. I did the Zap Test this morning - no zap at all. (I'm glad the old lye is working so well, cuz I have a ton of it.) Below are some pics.

Yaaaay! That looks like a ton of electrical shoeshiner's work for you!

Those bars are so pretty! I do find that peppermint takes over everything, unless it is proportionally quite a bit less than the second-lowest percentage of fragrance. For just a lavender-peppermint blend, for instance, I can only do 10% or less of the peppermint if I want to smell any lavender. Maybe you can mix your FO with another lavender FO or EO to bump up the lavender smell?

Lovely swirls.
