Lavender Soap Recipe

Use this Lavender Soap Recipe to create a bar that is always a welcome addition to any bathroom.

Lavender's calming scent is a great way to finish the day, especially when enjoyed in a warm, bubbly, soothing tub.

This soap recipe is a two step process (if you use the design idea pictured) so be sure to read it through first. For a more 'well-rounded' lavender scent, try using a blend of lavender essential oils rather than just one variety.
