Making Lavender and Lemongrass Soap

I purchased a soap maker book and kit a while back. It came with some glycerin soap, various flowers and herbs, some essential oils, a book and a plastic mold.

I have made soap before without using this kit. I decided to make some lavender soap and some lemongrass soap because those two fragrances are appealing to me.

I own lemongrass essential oil and lavender essential oil. I use both of them in some of my homemade lotions and bonds.

This time however are used the mold that came with the kit and I used the dried lemon grass and the dried lavender flowers as well.

This is super easy to make because the glycerin just Hass to be melted on the stove top or in the microwave. After the soap is melted, you just add the ingredients that you want and then pour them in the plastic mold.

The soap gets hard pretty quickly, and then after several hours it hardens completely. Some paper and string came in the kit to wrap the soap in once it has hardened completely.

The mold has some very small shapes that can be used for hand washing. I poured the majority of the soap in the larger bar shaped moles for use of the bath.

They both smell heavenly. I can’t wait to use them today.

Enjoy your day.
