How to Make Rosemary Soap

Hi Everyone, are you looking for a fragrant, luxurious and EASY “How to” soap recipe? Try this Rosemary Soap! 

I used to be intimidated by soap recipes – it was something that I always wanted to try making but never did because it just seems “hard.” Well, guess what? It’s really not, especially if you try a “heat and pour” soap making method like this “How to Make Rosemary Soap” recipe tutorial.

As quoted from the bMAKER dried "Rosemary" package:

"Rosemary adds strong flavor to frilled and roasted meats and vegetables. Can be added to potpourri, herbal sachets and pillows"
