How I made shampoo bars at home

How to make

  1. Fill a pot halfway with water and place on medium-high heat
  2. While the pot warms, cut 2 lbs of soap base into smaller pieces
  3. Place soap pieces into a heat-safe mixing bowl
  4. Add 2 teaspoons of Shea butter
  5. Place mixing bowl on top of the pot of water until melted
  6. Once melted, remove from the heat and add 4 teaspoons of Castor oil
  7. Next, add 25 drops of Lavender essential oil, 15 drops of Rosemary essential oil and 10 drops of Peppermint essential oil
  8. Stir well to combine
  9. Optional (but recommended): Spray mold with alcohol to prevent air bubbles
  10. Pour soap mixture into soap mold
  11. Allow to cool for 24 hours
  12. Once set, remove from mold and cut down to size
  13. All done!
