I’m so excited to share one of my favorite quick and creative projects: melt and pour soap with essential oils.
If you have ever been curious about making soap but felt intimidated by lye, long curing times, or complicated processes, this method is such a beautiful place to begin. Melt and pour soap is simple, flexible, and incredibly satisfying. It allows you to create nourishing, aromatic handmade soap without the complexity of traditional soap making.
In this video, I walk you through how I make a luxurious bar of melt and pour soap using a premium soap base, skin loving carrier oils, clay, and essential oils. This is an easy and approachable way to create something that supports your skin, your senses, and your everyday rituals.
Here is what I will show you in this tutorial:
• Why melt and pour soap is a beginner friendly alternative to lye based soap
• How to customize handmade soap with carrier oils, clay, and essential oils
• How to choose essential oil combinations that feel grounding and smell beautiful
• Simple ways to personalize your soap bars with botanicals like oats or petals
• How quickly melt and pour soap sets and when it is ready to use
This is one of those projects that reminds me how joyful natural living can be. Simple ingredients, creative freedom, and something useful you can enjoy almost immediately.
