Homemade Soap Recipe

Sweet Almond Oil



This sweet almond oil soap recipe has been decorated with small bits of brightly coloured soap creating a lovely 'confetti-like' look.

Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. If you buy a product through them, I receive a small commission which helps me provide the free information you find on this site. Thank you for your support!

I suggest adding a small amount of titanium dioxide or white mica to the soap base to emphasise the contrast between the base and the soap bits, something I neglected to do with this batch.

The soap has been scented with chamomile, lavender, geranium and sweet orange essential oils for a lovely gentle floral aroma.

You can easily make this recipe palm free by replacing the palm oil with shea butter and running the recipe through a lye calculator.

Soap Recipe Instructions

To make the soap base, follow the instructions for your preferred method of soap making found on the 'How to make soap' page.

Bring your soap base to a light trace and add in the orris root and the essential oils.

Once those have been incorporated and the soap is at a medium trace, add in the grated soap bits and stir to breakup any clumps.

Pour the soap into your lined soap mould and insulate as you normally would. Once the soap gels, you can uncover it and allow it to cool.

When the soap is firm enough to handle, cut it into bars and cure for 4 weeks.
