Make Your Own Soap
posted in Fashion on 9/9/2014
The benefit of making your own natural soap is that you can choose your own infusion of oils and extracts to make it just right for you.
Homemade Lemon Soap
1 1/2 cups (approx 15 cubes) of goat’s milk soap base
4-6 drops of lemon essential oil
Dried zest of 3-4 lemons
Heat your base in a microwave on high, stirring at 15-second intervals until completely melted, then combine your base with the herbal ingredients of your choice. For this recipe, you would add a few drops of the oil along with the lemon zest and stir until blended. If you’re using whole picked herbs in your recipe, create an infusion by pouring steaming water over the plant parts, with three tablespoons of herb per cup of water, then steeping for ten to fifteen
minutes.
When you’ve finished mixing, pour the blend into the molds of your choice, then let cool for at least an hour. Once hardened, you’ll have three bars of your very own DIY natural soap for the sharing, gifting, or just using.
