Citrus Burst Homemade Soap

Feel re-energized with the natural aroma of Citrus Burst Soap. Its blend of sweet orange essential oils and the zest from oranges, limes, and lemons help balance dry and oily skin, giving you a natural glow! 

With Spring around the corner (fingers crossed) I thought I would make a batch of Citrus Burst Homemade Soap.  The citrus scent from the orange, lime, and lemon are amazingly refreshing and stimulating to the body and soul!  I love making non-toxic soaps with a few simple ingredients and knowing chemicals aren’t touching our bodies.

You can get the soap-making supplies like the soap base and soap molds at Michaels or I’ve linked a few items to Amazon for you.

 

Supplies:

• ¾ lb goats milk glycerin soap, melt and pour base
• 1 tsp orange zest
• 1 tsp lime zest
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 20 drops sweet orange essential oil
• Large measuring cup
• Spoon or wooden Popsicle stick
• Square soap molds (3)
• Rubbing Alcohol in a small spray bottle (You will need this if bubbles occur, see notes below)

Directions:

Step 1. Put soap base in measuring cup and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir very well using a Popsicle stick. If not completely melted, repeat at 10-second intervals until fully melted.

Step 2. Stir in orange, lime, and lemon zest

Step 3. Stir in essential oil.

Step 4. Pour the mixture into the soap molds.

Step 5. Lightly spray with rubbing alcohol. This prevents bubbles. ****See Notes Below

Step 6. Let set for about 30-60 minutes and remove from the mold.

Notes:

****If you see the surface of your soap pot covered in bubbles, go ahead and give it a quick spritz of alcohol before you pour the mixture into the molds. Then spray the surface of the soap again after you’ve poured to eliminate as many bubbles as possible. As the alcohol evaporates it will leave a smooth clean finish.

 

The soap is ready to use as soon as it hardens.

Using all-natural ingredients is so much better for your skin.

Making your soap is inexpensive, easy to do, and can be the perfect DIY gift for friends and family.  If you’ve never tried a bar of real natural handmade soap, you’re in for a treat. Thank you so much for stopping by today, have a great rest of the week!
