Common Ingredients Used In Melt & Pour Soap Recipes
10 Simple Christmas Melt & Pour Soap Recipes
Cranberry Vanilla Shea Butter Soap
This festive soap is not only moisturizing and beautiful, but it is super simple to make. Only 4 ingredients and about 30 minutes of your time is all you will need! The cranberries add such a nice visual touch while also adding in a gorgeous pop of color!
Oatmeal Cinnamon Soap
This soap has a fantastically warm smell right off the bat with notes of spicy cinnamon. The addition of oatmeal to this soap also provides skin nourishing properties while also exfoliating the skin. Again, requiring just a few simple ingredients and a small amount of time and your will have a professional looking (and smelling) soap!
Winter Forest Soap
This soap recipe takes it up a notch by adding in a cool swirling technique for a beautiful result. The smell is also great for more of an outdoorsy and manly type scent with notes of cedarwood and birch. I also love how the recipe utilizes natural colorants to keep things as natural as possible!
Peppermint Goats Milk Soap
I don’t know about you but I just love all goat milk soaps. For me, the goat’s milk soap base always produces the richest lather so it is definitely my go to! I love this particular recipe as it uses red jojoba beads to add a little bit of natural exfoliation which is great for this time of year!
Gingerbread Soap
Who could celebrate the holidays without a little bit of Gingerbread? Not only do I love this soap recipe for the phenomenal scent, but the cuteness of the little Gingerbread Men shaped soaps is just too much!! You can even go a step further than this recipe does and combine more mica colorants with a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol and paint on some colorful details once the soap has set!
Candy Cane Swirl Soap
This soap is such a beauty with it’s swirls resembling a candy cane whirlpool. I love this recipe because the swirling technique is really broken down into easy to follow steps making it a DIY project for even beginners!
Cinnamon Cocoa Soap
I love every single thing about the soap recipe – from the unbeatable fragrance down to the cocoa dusted top! This soap recipe is by one of my favorites, Soap Queen, and they share an easy to follow layering technique to create this gorgeous soap. Perfect for everyone on your gift giving list!
Orange Cinnamon Soap
There is just something about orange and cinnamon that screams Christmas to me! The fragrance duo will have both you and your gift recipients lathering up in holiday cheer with each use! This is a super simple recipe to make but the added packaging décor used here is seriously soooo good!
Ginger Spice Cookie Soap
I love this recipe for its simplicity but also for the addition of oatmeal which adds both moisturizing and exfoliation! Personally, I would add a drop of vanilla and a drop of cinnamon to this recipe as well to bring out more of the “cookie” scent! Either way, it is a simply wonderful recipe!
Vanilla Mint
This soap is gorgeous with its stark contrasting white and green stripes. Plus, you simply can not go wrong with a vanilla and mint combination – it works so well for all occasions and all genders! I plan to make a batch of this one to be used as teacher and neighbor gifts this holiday!
