Homemade exfoliating soap ingredients<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Homemade exfoliating soap is easier to customise when you start with a pre-made base. We used the same base\u2014organic glycerin soap plus coconut oil\u2014for each bar but changed up the exfoliating ingredients and essential oils.<\/p>\n

We recommend using silicone soap moulds with circles approximately 6 cm in diameter.<\/p>\n

Makes 3 soaps<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Base<\/strong>
\n170 ml suspended organic melt and pour glycerin soap
\n1 tablespoon coconut oil<\/p>\n

Mix-ins<\/strong>
\nExfoliating ingredient
\nEssential oils<\/p>\n

How to make homemade exfoliating soap<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cut soap into 2.5 cm cubes.
    \n2. Put soap and coconut oil in a large microwave-safe bowl.
    \n3. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time until soap is completely melted, stirring in between to smooth clumps.
    \n4. Add essential oils and mix well.
    \n5. Add exfoliating ingredient slowly, stirring well to combine and remove all clumps. Work quickly before the soap gets too cool.
    \n6. Pour into moulds. Let sit until solid, approximately 1-3 hours.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Rosemary-Lemon-Sage Soap with cornmeal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Cornmeal is a gentle exfoliator, which makes it safe for sensitive skin. We used about 1 tablespoon of cornmeal to get the right amount of texture without it feeling too gritty. Feel free to increase this amount for a more intense exfoliation. Combining cornmeal with herb and citrus essential oils like Lemon<\/u><\/a>, Rosemary<\/u> <\/a>and Sage<\/u><\/a>\u00a0gives this soap a clean, earthy aroma.<\/p>\n

    Mix-ins<\/strong><\/p>\n

    1 tablespoon cornmeal
    \n10 drops Lemon essential oil
    \n10 drops Rosemary essential oil
    \n10 drops Sage essential oil<\/p>\n

    Cinnamon-Orange-Ginger Soap with coffee grounds<\/h2>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Enjoy the warming scents of Cinnamon Bark<\/u><\/a>, Ginger<\/u><\/a> and zesty fresh Orange<\/u><\/a> in this gentle exfoliating scrub using organic coffee grounds. Keep in mind, coffee grounds provide more intense exfoliation than cornmeal; scrub with care if you have sensitive skin. A reminder too that coffee grounds tend to settle. If you\u2019re not a fan of how the soap looks, use fewer coffee grounds so they don\u2019t sink to the bottom of the bar.<\/p>\n

    Mix-ins<\/strong><\/p>\n

    2 tablespoons organic coffee grounds
    \n15 drops Cinnamon Bark essential oil
    \n10 drops Ginger essential oil
    \n10 drops Orange essential oil<\/p>\n

    Joy-Geranium-Patchouli Soap with poppy seeds and Himalayan pink salt<\/h2>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Parched winter skin? Give yourself some extra tender loving care with this nourishing and deliciously scented soap, enjoying notes of Patchouli<\/u><\/a>, with poppy seeds and pink salt exfoliators. Add Joy<\/u><\/a> and Geranium <\/u><\/a>for a sweet touch, applying to rough elbows and heels for sumptuously smooth skin.<\/p>\n

    Mix-ins<\/strong><\/p>\n

    1 teaspoon poppy seeds
    \n1-2 tablespoons fine Himalayan pink salt
    \n15 drops Joy essential oil blend
    \n10 drops Patchouli essential oil
    \n5 drops Geranium essential oil<\/p>\n

    Want an exfoliating soap you don\u2019t have to DIY?<\/h2>\n

    If you\u2019re too busy to make a soap from scratch, opt for our Satin Facial Scrub Mint. Easily exfoliate, combining with warm water, allowing the jojoba wax beads to gently scrub away dirt, leaving skin feeling thoroughly cleansed and sensationally smooth with a subtle minty scent. Goodbye lacklustre skin!<\/p>\n
