A friend asked me to make some cucumber soap for him, I searched and found Cucumber/Mint oil and thought I’d give it a try. I absolutely love it, I made the soap, now he wants a lot more! I use the soap now as well. I also used the scent for candles and they are just as good. This brand is reasonably priced and exceptional quality. They also have a very good range of scents.
