Instructions
- Gather the ingredients for this tutorial. Put the silicone mold(s) on a rimmed baking sheet for ease of movement and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan (or double boiler), add about 1 inch of water, put a metal bowl to sit on top. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- While you bring the water to a boil, cut the soap base in squares.
- Add the squares to the bowl of the double boiler. Melt the soap base squares completely, occasionally stirring with a wooden spoon.
- When the soap base is completely melted, add the dried rosemary and optional rose or other essential oil. Stir to combine.
- Carefully pour the liquid soap mixture into the soap molds.
- Allow the soap to harden at room temperature or place in the refrigerator to harden at a faster rate. When the soap is completely hardened then remove the soap from the silicone molds. Enjoy!
