Peppermint Exfoliating Foot Soap Formulation (Recipe)

Submitted By:

Susan of Highland, IN

Summary:

A bar of soap to deodorize and exfoliate the feet.

Ingredients:

Per bar:
3-4 oz opaque coconut M&P soap
1 tsp kokum butter
2-3 drops peppermint essential oil
1 scant drop red or pink food coloring (optional)
Pumice powder

Instructions:

Melt soap and butter over a double boiler. Add peppermint oil and coloring and stir gently to incorporate. Pour a tiny amount of soap into the bottom of the mold. Carefully sprinkle a generous coating of pumice powder onto the bottom of the mold (I like about 1/4 inch thick). Finish filling the mold the rest of the way.
I like this because you can lather up your feet with the "smooth" side, then use the pumice side to get the dead skin off! :)
