Tips & Tricks
- If you want a more intense lavender scent, you can add a few extra drops of lavender fragrance oil to each soap base.
- To create a swirl effect, gently stir the two soap layers together with a toothpick before they set completely.
- Let your soap set for at least 3-4 hours to ensure it hardens completely before removing it from the mould.
