Here’s a quick guide on how to make lavender soap.

Why we love this bar soap

Ingredients

1 lb glycerin melt and pour soap base
1 cup lavender flowers
1 cup rosemary
1 tablespoon purple mica powder
20-25 Rosemary and lavender essential oils (optional)
Square soap mold

This recipe will make 3 square soap bars if using the same mold.

Instructions

Cut the soap base into one-inch squares and divide evenly between two glass jars.

Add lavender flowers to one jar and rosemary to the other jar.

Heat the jars in a double boiler on low heat for a few hours to infuse the herbs into the soap base.
After a few hours, strain the infused soap bases into two separate measuring cups.
Add purple mica powder to one of the measuring cups and stir to combine, leaving the other soap base white.

Pour both soap bases into the soap mold at the same time, swirling them together to create an even design.

Let the soap sit out overnight or until completely hardened.

Tips for Storing

After the curing process is complete, store your lavender bar soap in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. This will help prolong its shelf life and prevent any melting or loss of scent.

To keep your lavender bar soap dry between uses, place it on a soap dish with drainage. This will help prevent the soap from sitting in water and becoming soft or mushy.

How to Use This Lavender Soap

When using your lavender bar soap, simply wet it with warm water and lather it up between your hands or a washcloth.
