Skin Softening Lavender And Herb Essential Oils Soap Recipe

December 27, 2019 by Kelly 14 Comments

This post contains affiliate links. I have always been a sucker for a pretty bar of soap! I love the way they look, the way they smell and how giddy I feel when I buy one! But it baffles me to see the price of these boutique type soaps. Why would you pay more than $5 for one bar of soap when you can make 4 bars from my Lavender And Herb Essential Oils Soap Recipe for the same price or less?

Skip Buying Those Expensive Boutique Soaps And Make Your Own!

Say goodbye to high prices and hello to soft skin when you make my Lavender And Herb Essential Oils Soap Recipe at home! It is great for that glowing summer skin you want and it costs pennies on the dollar to the store bought boutique soaps!

Skin Softening Lavender And Herb Essential Oils Soap Recipe

My Rosemary and Lavender Goats Milk Soap smells incredible and makes your skin super soft. The essential oils and the exfoliating nature of the herbs will have your skin summer ready! If you are thinking that soap-making is intimidating, it isn’t!  With my recipe, you’ll see how accessible the ingredients are and how easy each step is.

Lavender And Herb Essential Oils Soap Recipe

The best part about soap-making is that you can make it to your liking. You can add your own herbs, flowers, essential oils and coloring. I love to use essential oils in my soaps. For instance, in this soap, I used the lavender essential oil because it is known to help with problematic skin like acne. To protect your skin from biting insects, you can make my easy, affordable and effective Essential Oils Bug Spray!

It is also known for helping treat eczema inflammations, making this Lavender And Herb Essential Oils Soap Recipe perfect for Caitlin.

Here is what you will need to make your Lavender And Herb Essential Oils Soap Recipe:

    I didn’t know making soap was so easy. I just visited a lavender farm on my vacation to New Mexico and bought lavender and a book so I’m going to make your soaps here. Thank you!!

    I haven’t made soap since I was a child. I have a friend who loves lavender who would probably be up for trying this soap.

    Wow! That looks really lovely. Perfect for making for yourself or as a gift to loved ones! It’s definitely going to be calming because of the lavender and I’m sure it smells amazing! I wouldn’t mind making this!

    I bet it smells wonderful! Would it be better to chop the rosemary, or could you grind it in a mortar and pestle?

    I have never tried making my own soaps. I don’t know why but I am just probably scared it would not turn out good. Your soap recipe looks really easy to follow. I might as well try making my own soap and you can be sure I will use this recipe.

    Oh wow. Those bars of soap must smell heavenly, and to add that you used goat’s milk soap as the base is ultra-pampering. I have never tried making my own soaps but I will try my hand at making some. You make it look so easy! Who knows I can perfect this DIY and make nice little soaps to give away at Christmas time!

    I took a class on soap making but it was the other kind and had all sorts of icky ingredients. This is much easier.

    I’ve made lip balm before but have been too intimidated to make soap. These would make such lovely gifts!
