Equipment
Materials
- 1 pound melt and pour soap base
- 8 drops lemon essential oil
- 8 drops eucalyptus essential oil
- 8 drops rosemary essential oil
- 4 drops tea tree essential oil
Instructions
- Cut the soap base into small blocks and melt them in a double boiler over low heat. Stir occasionally until the material is completely liquid. Alternatively, heat in a microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in-between. Repeat as needed until the base melts entirely.
- Mix in essential oils.
- Divide the liquid soap evenly into your mold.
- Leave the soap to set and harden. Take a shortcut by putting the mold in the refrigerator or freezer, and it will chill more quickly. I set a tray under the mold before transporting to catch any drips that might happen en route.
- Pop the soaps out once they are hard and use them immediately. Store extra soap bars in an airtight bag or wrap them in plastic wrap until you’re ready to use.
