Teach Soap

I purchased a bottle of a scent called icecap from a company. this is supposed to add a cooling sensation when used, due to the menthol, im assuming. I put it on my skin because its an fo, and at first it smelled like vicks. after a half an hour it smelled metallic and gross. here is the question. has anyone ever used this? besides that question, will a combo of peppermint, eucalyptus and spearmint give a cooling sensation in mp soap?

Is the ice cap that you bought B&B safe? Some fragrances are only suitable for candles. If it is B&B safe, I would have diluted it first before putting it on your skin straight. Scents should never be used undiluted like that. With that said, menthol is the one that's most likely creating that cooling sensation.

thanks soap buddy. it was advertised as an fo and even suggested to blend it with pear to make an "icy pear" or can be blended with citrus scents

now I have to check but im about 95% sure that it is. the 3 mint that I have are essential oils and I wanted to put the 3 of them together in the hopes that when the person uses the soap it will create a cooling effect.0is that what the mint would do? I have eucalyptus, peppermint first and second, and spearmint. they are all essential oils

Eucalyptus, peppermint and spearmint would make a nice blend. You can get some blending ideas here.

Peppermint EO would definitely give a cooling feeling to the skin, but in the quantity used in MP soap I'm not sure it would have all that much affect. Personally I'd try that blend in a couple of bars and just see how it goes. I'm just not sure how much of an oil the skin needs to come into contact with to get that.
I put some in the bath one day and that was the weirdest feeling ever. I thought it would wake me up. It did, but it also made my skin feel cold yet I was in a really hot bath.
