You’ll want to save this recipe for later!

I had always been intimidated by soap recipes – they felt so involved and overwhelmed me. But then I discovered another way that is so simple – no lye needed, and the kid can be hands-on and help you make them!

Be sure to choose essential oils free of the word “fragrance” on their ingredients label, solvents & expiration dates. We prefer these essential oils.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2lb melt and pour soap base
• ½ cup powdered goat milk
• 2 Tbsp organic raw honey
• 1 Tbsp jojoba or vitamin E oil
• 60 drops pure essential oils
• Soap molds

STEPS:

1. Chop soap base into cubes and melt using a double boiler. You can place a glass bowl over a pot of simmering water for this.
   
2. Remove from heat and whisk in all remaining ingredients until smooth.
   
3. Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour into soap molds – Option to add dried flowers prior to pouring into molds.
   
4. Let sit overnight before removing from molds.

Choose your favorite oils – we tend to split the recipe in half and do two different combinations with Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Vanilla + Tangerine or a Citrus blend being some of our favorites
