Hi everyone,

I'm going to make carrot honey soap and I'd like to add an eo to it
beside carrot seed oil.
I was going to use cinnamon eo, but after reading a message about
the possible skin irritating of cinnamon I changed my mind.
Do you have any recommendation?
Thanks in advance
Venus

I'm thinking of something orangey....orange or citrus of some sort?

I thought since carrot is good for mature skin I'd better use an eo
which is also good for mature and dry skin and is a good match for
carrot and honey...

Ok, then you could use Frankincense, Myrrh, Sandalwood or a titch of rose. All of these are wonderful for skin.
Soap is a wash off product though. You would be better using these EO's in something like a lotion or a cream, so the skin would get the best benefit.
