Clear soap
You will need
To make
1. Melt the soap chips in a stainless-steel saucepan over a very low heat. Take care not to let it boil, otherwise the soap will become milky. Remove the warm liquid from the heat and leave to cool for a few minutes before adding the oils.
2. Stir in the herbs using a stainless-steel spoon or a plastic spatula.
3. Pour the mixture into small, round plastic bowls and leave to stand for approximately an hour or until the soap has set. Remove the soap from the containers and cut it into smaller blocks before storing or using.
Massage or moisturising melts
You will need
To make
1. Melt the cocoa butter in a stainless-steel saucepan over a very low heat, then
stir in the sweet-almond oil using a stainless-steel spoon or a plastic spatula.
2. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Stir in the essential oils.
3. Pour the mixture into heart-shaped silicone muffin pans, leave to cool, then refrigerate to harden before removing from the moulds. Note If the soap is too soft to use, melt it again and add approximately 50g beeswax before pouring into the moulds again. Leave to cool slightly, then refrigerate again until set. Once the soap has set properly it will retain its shape.
