For basic instructions on how to make homemade soap, read The Process page and then follow the directions below to make Sweet Citus Honey soap.
- Prepare the soap mold by placing a cut out of bubblewrap on the bottom of the mold with the bubbles facing up. Cut another piece to place on top of the poured soap.
- Melt the beeswax with the hard oils. At this point I added the honey, orris root and ground calendula petals.
- Make the soap as usual following the directions on the Process Page.
- Add the essential oils when the soap is at a light trace.
- Pour the soap into the prepared mold when a medium trace is reached. Top with the remaining piece of bubblewrap and press gently into the soap.
- Put the soap to rest as usual and cut when cooled.
- Congradulations, Your Done!
