DIY Peppermint Soap

This peppermint soap recipe is made with a melt-and-pour soap base. If you’re not familiar with this soap-making method you might be surprised by how easy it is. You simply melt the soap cubes, stir in your favorite essential oil, and add soap colorant if desired.

Ingredients

• Goats milk or shea butter soap base
• Soap molds
• Red soap colorant (optional)
• Peppermint essential oil

How to make peppermint soap

• Melt 450-500 grams of soap base at a time. You can also melt the soap in the microwave by stirring it every 30 seconds.
• Add 15-20 drops of peppermint essential oil into melted soap; stir well.
• Pour soap into molds. Add a few drops of red soap colorant; use a toothpick or stirrer to gently mix the color with melted soap. Allow soap to harden for at least 2 hours or place in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Tip: sometimes we have trouble releasing the soap from plastic molds, so you can lightly grease the mold with coconut oil beforehand.
• Now it’s time to get creative with the gift wrap. You can use strawberry baskets with paper shreds.

Another idea is to wrap the soap with wrapping paper or scrapbooking paper. Embellish with ribbons, candy canes, and fresh greenery.
