Homemade Soap Recipes

Elements Bath and Body

Looking for homemade soap recipes? Well then....you've come to the right place!

There are so many wonderful ingredients involved in soap making and I seem to have a desire to try them all! Since I'm pretty sure you would too, I'm posting each successful soap recipe I create for your use.

This page will serve as a hub for recipes suitable for cold process and hot process soap making (some designs may not be possible for use with the hot process method).

Below you will find a varied selection of soaps with instructions and the recipes to go with them.

If you prefer to create your own look, try the Basic Homemade Soap Recipes page.

Each soap recipe produces approximately 10 - 110 to 150 gram bars. Remember to always check soap recipes with a lye calculator before using them, including mine.

Calculation for Mold Volume

Not sure how much soap will fit in your mold? Here is a formula that will calculate how much oil you need in your homemade soap recipe to make the right size soaps.

Length of mold x Width of mold x Height of soap x .40 = ounces of oil needed

example: My mold is 6" x 6" and I pour my soap to 2.25" high so the calculation will be:

6" x 6" x 2.25" x .40 = 32.4 ounces

Since I like working in grams, I convert the ounces over by mulfiplying the ounces by 28.375

32.4 ounces x 28.375 = 919.35 grams (I use 900 grams in my recipes for simplicity)
