Peppercorn Soap Recipe

Peppercorn Soap Recipe

The Organic Peppercorn Massage Melt and Pour Soap Recipe is a unique and luxurious soap-making that is known for its therapeutic and skin-nourishing properties. In addition, clover &aloe, basil and lavender essential oils create a therapeutic and indulgent experience that not only massages and exfoliates the skin but also nourishes and soothes it.

Ingredients:

• 355 g organic white melt and pour glycerin soap base
• 8 g orange zest
• 15 g organic whole black peppercorns
• 10 drops of clover&aloe essential oil
• 10 drops of basil essential oil
• 10 drops of lavender essential oil

Instructions:

Step 1: I used a square Gladware container as my mold for this melt and pour soap recipe and lined it with a plastic office trash bag. I used masking tape to hold the lining in place. You could also use plastic cling film to line your mold. Once your mold is ready, weigh out 355 g of my white glycerin soap base using a digital scale, cut it into chunks and then place it inside a large glass Pyrex measuring cup. Melt the soap base in the microwave on reduced power and remove once melted.

Step 2: Now weigh out your peppercorns and orange zest – I cut my zest from the rind of fresh orange – and stir into your melted soap base. Using a different plastic transfer pipette or glass dropper for each essential oil, add ten drops of each essential oil to the soap mixture and stir well to blend.

Step 3: Now pour your liquid soap base into your lined mold. You can spritz the top of your soap lightly with witch hazel or alcohol to get rid of any air bubbles on the top of the soap. Your additives will settle to the bottom and top of the soap. (If you’d like the peppercorns and orange zest to distribute evenly throughout the entire bar, use a suspension melt and pour glycerin soap base.) Next, place your filled mold in the freezer until your soap has hardened completely.

Step 4: Once your soap has solidified, remove it from the mold and cut it into bars. Finally, wrap tightly in plastic wrap until ready to use.
