The past couple weeks I've been dabbling into making all-natural bath and body products with my DoTerra essential oils. I've been on a crunchy, earthy, healthy kick lately and I'm already addicted to finding new ways to use essential oils. One of my favorite handmade soaps came from a lady at the Nashville Farmers Market a few months back and it consisted of lavender and melaleuca. Ever since I used the bar to its entirety, I decided that I should start making my own.
I use the melt and pour method, which is super quick and easy! I have tried using both goats milk soap and shea butter soap base. They are equally great and share the same consistency.
This recipe makes approximately 4 full bath bars, but you can adjust the batch and use whichever molds you'd like. Once you're comfortable with the melt and pour method, you can start creating some of your own recipes based on your favorite essential oils. Here are some of my favorites:
