Do you want to be more healthy and save money but feel like it’s really hard to make your own products? I used to think that, until I started making my own products and I gotta say, all those chemicals they put in things are just NOT NEEDED! You really only need a few ingredients!

Just imagine yourself making your own amazing-smelling Rosemary Spearmint Soap! You can (yes, even as a beginner!), and it’s so much easier than you think!

Rosemary Spearmint Soap

Making your own natural homemade soap is such an amazing and soothing experience.

It gives you the creative freedom to choose your own scents, shape molds, and styles! Plus, it’s so much healthier for your body, because you know exactly what goes into it.

Hand made soap making is also a great way to start your own business! You can take that passion of yours for soap making to the next level, and open up your own soap shop on Shopify.

Now, whether you are making this for yourself, or to give others as a gift, you won’t believe how quick and easy these instructions are.

And the final product? Very elegant, with a fragrance that is seriously to die for! Rosemary and spearmint go together so well.

Your friends and family will be lining up to have a homemade bar of their own! You’ll never buy a refill soap in the store again after this soap making recipe.

Ingredients

Olive oil melt-and-pour soap base
Silicone soap mold
15 drops spearmint oil
15 drops rosemary oil
Optional: Dried herbs

Dried herbs are highly recommended, as the fresh herbs (although beautiful) turn the soap brown after a few days.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: Cut off the amount of soap base you want to use and place it into a microwave-safe bowl.

Step 2: Melt the soap into liquid form in increments of 30 seconds.

Step 3: Add a handful of dried herbs to the soap mold.

Step 4: Add Spearmint and Rosemary essential oils.

Step 5: Mix together and pour into molds.

Step 6: Let it sit for an hour.

Step 7: Remove the soap from the mold.

Note: The soap should be good for a few months.

Essential Oils are SOOOO versatile. I’ve been using them 7 years now and they have helped me SO much.
