Soap Making Recipes - Fruit Based Soap 

Apple Tart Soap

4oz. Clear, Unscented Glycerine Soap
1 Tablespoon Liquid Soap
1 teaspoon Liquid Glycerine
1/2 teaspoon Apple Fragrance Oil
2 Drops Red Food Color
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Melt soap in small pan over low heat or in a glass cup in the microwave.
Add Liquid Soap and glycerine and stir gently but well. Add fragrance, color
and cinnamon. Stir and let stand a couple minutes, just enough to start to
thicken so when you stir again the cinnamon will be more evenly distributed.
Pour into molds. Allow to set completely (in or out of freezer).
Wrap in plastic wrap or use cellophane candy bags.

Immediately add the following in this order:

Divide the colored cubes into soap molds.
If you are using pans spray with a very light coat of vegetable spray and
wipe out with paper towel. Melt remaining soap, when melted stir in 1/4
teaspoon
Gingerbread fragranceoil and 5 drops Cinnamon fragrance oil. Add 5 drops
caramel food color orbrown paste food color just to create a 'fruitcake'
color.

Unmold. If you have trouble removing them from the pans, use a hair dryer
to
heat the molds slightly.

Melt and Pour (M&P) Soap

Soap Making Recipes - Herbal Soap 

Camphor and Clary Sage Soap

2 c. M&P (melt and pour) soap base
2 T. camphor oil
1/4 c. clary sage infusion
AND/OR
1 tsp. clary sage oil

Combine melted soap and herbal ingredients. Stir until blended, and pour
into molds. Keep soap wrapped or store in a cool dark place. It will be good
for about 18 months. Note: This also works well for poison Ivy.

HERBAL GLYCERIN SOAP

1 pound Glycerin
1/2 ounce fragrance oil or 1/2 to 1 teaspoon essential oil, amount dependson oil used.
1 T. herbal powder of your choice
and/or
1 T. dried flower of you choice

Melt the glycerin in the microwave until completely disolved. This usually
takes one to two minutes. Avoid stirring as much as possible because
stirring causes bubbles. Pour in herbal powder, dried flowers, and fragrance
oil
while still in liquid state. Stir lightly to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Pour in the mold of your choice and let set for 1 to 2 hours or longer if
desired. If you have trouble with the bar releasing from the mold, place in
the
freezer for a few minutes and the bar should release easily. I have found
that the
bar of soap lathers better when it is allowed to cure for 3 to 7 days before
use.
This recipe yields 4 - 4 ounce bars of Glycerin Soap.
