pizza soap So, my aunt makes soaps and bath oils and whatnot as a hobby and occasionally sells some of what she makes. This year she sent a whole boatload of the pretty smelling stuff to our house as Christmas presents.
Most of it's pretty nice stuff, but in one set of soaps she used basil leaves for the scent/exfoliating agent. Basil's cool and all, but who wants to wash with something that smells like pizza sauce?  "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Maybe it does?"A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

When used in natural skin care products, Basil can is a tonic refresher, producing a hot-cold sensation when applied to the skin. Basil oil is thought of a ‘de-toxifier’ as it stimulates sluggish and congested circulation of the skin and can be used for acne and minor skin infections. It is also reputed to have antiseptic value and to neutralise the toxins of bites and stings. But the soap still smells like pizza.  "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

But the soap still smells like pizza. ha, perhaps. but it sounds like basil has a lot of good properties. maybe for occasional use? | |
