Rosemary Homemade Soap Recipe

Lately, due to the cold temperatures, I find myself doing smaller projects like making natural handmade soap and cooking healthy food. I’ll get back to more painted furniture projects when the temps break a little. Recently, I shared this super easy lavender vanilla soap recipe. Today’s rosemary homemade soap recipe is quite similar but without using essential oils. I think that is the best part of learning how to make your own soap – once you have the basics down you can play around with aroma and scents and the possibilities are endless.

Directions for how to make bar soap:

Gather your soap ingredients from the supply list above for making DIY soap. Just like the lavender vanilla handmade soap recipe, we are again making soap without lye. I like to keep things as simple as possible. 😉

Step 1. Cut your soap base into cubes, and place in your glass bowl or measuring cup. The soap base should cut easily with a butter knife. Next, microwave the cubes for 30 seconds to soften and melt. Stir very well and if not completely melted, repeat in 10-second intervals, stirring thoroughly each time.

Step 2. Once the soap base is completely melted stir the dried rosemary into the bowl.

Step 3. Spoon your DIY soap mixture into the soap molds.

Step 4. You may want to lightly spray the homemade soap mixture with rubbing alcohol. This will help to prevent bubbles.

Step 5. Allow your handmade soap to set for approximately 30-60 minutes before you remove them from the mold.
