20 Heavenly Handmade Soap Recipes

Making soap is a lot of fun, and it can be frugal too. Once you have the basic supplies you can easily tweak your favorite recipes to make different scents and styles of soap. Here are a few things you will need to get started.

Soap Bases – Using soap bases are the simplest way to make soaps. Simply melt them, add coloring and scents, and pour them into a mold to set. Experiment with different soap bases such as shea butter, goat’s milk, glycerin and more.
Fragrance – Adding scents to your soaps is appealing and can invoke various moods. The easiest way to add scents is with fragrance oil or essential oil.
Soap Dye – Easily add color or create a custom color with vegan, non-toxic and baby-friendly soap dyes.
Soap Molds – You can easily create standard rectangle soaps with a loaf mold or create fun shapes with silicone soap molds.
