Red, White, and Blue Homemade Soap

By A Cultivated Nest Team

The Fourth of July is nearly here! I felt like making a red, white, and blue homemade beauty product, but I wanted to do something a little different this time. So I decided to make my own soap! If you’ve never made your own bar soap before, its actually really easy. Follow my simple tutorial to make your own Red, White, and Blue Homemade Soap!

Red, White, and Blue Homemade Soap- It's easy to make your own moisturizing bar soap, colored and scented the way you like! Here's how I made this pretty red, white, and blue homemade soap! | DIY soap, soap making, soapmaking, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Americana, diy gift ideas, hand soap, body soap, how to make your own bar soap

The addition of cocoa butter in this red, white, and blue homemade soap makes it extra moisturizing! You can use it for your hands, face, or body.

When you buy your soap blocks, don’t worry about getting a large amount (2+ pounds). Soap making materials are very inexpensive, and trust me, once you make your first soap, you’ll want to make more! These were colored red, white, and blue for the Fourth of July, but you could easily use other colors for different holidays. You can also use a person’s favorite color to make them a DIY soap gift for their birthday! If you get different soap mold shapes, you have even more soap gift possibilities!

You can use these as you would any bar soap. If you have sensitive skin, or a history of some brands of soap drying out your skin, you may want to use it sparingly at first before making it your main bar soap, just to make sure you don’t have an adverse reaction to it.
