Lemongrass + Calendula (my favorite!)

Ok, so today is my day to make a double batch of my ALL TIME FAVORITE soap, Lemongrass + Calendula.

I think the thing I love the most about this soap is how fresh and uplifting it smells.  Just one sniff can make me so, so happy!

Calendula is also great for people with sensitive skin and the beautiful golden petals look amazing when mixed with the natural yellow coloring of the Lemongrass essential oil.
