What You’ll Need

  • Dried Lavender Petals 🌸

Preparation Time

Total Time: Approximately 3-4 hours

  • Melt Ingredients: 15 minutes
  • Layering & Setting Time: 2-3 hours

Instructions

  1. Melt the Soap Bases: Melt 250g of the opaque soap base in a double boiler until smooth. In a separate pot, melt 250g of the lavender soap base until fully liquefied.
  2. Add Fragrance Oil: Add 10-15 drops of lavender fragrance oil to both soap bases and stir well.
  3. Pour the First Layer: Pour the opaque soap layer into the soap mould and let it set slightly, just enough to create a firm base.
  4. Decorate: Sprinkle dried lavender petals over the first layer for a beautiful look and soothing texture.
  5. Pour the Lavender Layer: Pour the lavender soap layer on top and sprinkle more lavender petals if desired.
  6. Let it Set: Allow the soap to set for a few hours until completely firm.
  7. Unmould: Once fully set, pop the soap out of the mould, and your calming lavender soap is ready to use!

Benefits

  • Lavender Fragrance Oil: Known for its calming properties, lavender helps to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
  • Melt & Pour Soap Base: This soap base makes soap-making easy and safe, perfect for beginners.
  • Dried Lavender Petals: Adds a beautiful, natural look and gentle exfoliation to your soap.

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.

Storage & Shelf Life

Store your lavender soap in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If stored properly, it can last up to 6-12 months.
