Here are some very easy soap recipes for our melt and pour glycerin soap:

Directions: Heat soap in microwave (about 1-2 minutes per pound on medium setting), or melt soap in top of double boiler on medium heat. Wait until the soap begins to cool (about 10 to 15 minutes) and then add your dried herbs, flowers, essential oils, etc. Stir very gently or bubbles may form. If bubbles do form, lightly spray alcohol on the surface. One or two sprays will completely disburse the bubbles! Pour into a soap mold or butter tub; just about any plastic container with the opening larger than the bottom will do. Do not pour hot soap into soft plastic - wait 15 to 20 minutes to cool. After soap has "set" completely (about 2 to 3 hours) put mold in freezer for about 20 minutes and gently press on bottom of mold.... soap will fall right out!

And here are some recipes for our Castile soap:

7 oz. Castile soap, grated
1 tablespoon lanolin
1 tablespoon jojoba oil
1 tablespoon pumice (optional)
1 tablespoon crushed lavender, rosemary, peppermint, etc. (optional)
12 - 15 drops of essential or fragrance oil complementary to above (optional)

Melt grated soap with lanolin and oil in microwave or in double boiler on stove-top, stirring occasionally. Mixture should be soft, like oatmeal. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients. Let soap mixture cool while placing waxed paper on counter-top to put finished balls on. Oil hands so the soap doesn't stick to them, and form into three (3) equal sized balls. Place balls on waxed paper to finish cooling. When hardened, they are ready for use. You may also roll balls in some of the herbs for a great look to a nice gift!
