How to Make Lavender Bunny Soap with Essential Oils
Making your own soaps is so fun because it gives you the ability to customize the soaps however you want! Our skin is often fairly sensitive to store bought soaps, so I love knowing what is going into mine. And I can keep them free of dyes that I know bother us and fragrances they are harmful. I choose to make my soaps with essential oils and either no coloring or natural food coloring because that's what works best for my family.
I decided to use a goat milk soap base for these soaps because goats milk is very moisturizing and also gentle on sensitive skin. But you can just a different soap base if you prefer.
How to Make Soap with Essential Oils
It is easy to make soap with essential oils. Because you are making your own soap, you are able to control the scent of your soap. This is a huge benefit of making your own soap! So many times, bar soaps (and all soaps) are full of things that aren't actually great for your body including fragrances or perfumes. Fragrances and perfumes can often cause skin trouble and even headaches.

How to Make Lavender Soap
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Goats Milk Glycerine Soap Base
- 24 drops Young Living Lavender Essential Oil
- Natural Food Dye in Pink and Blue (optional) (I used the entire pink packet and about half of the blue packet)
Directions:
- Put your soap base in a microwave-safe dish.
- Put it in the microwave and melt it on high for 30-second intervals, stirring regularly, until fully melted.
- Once the soap is melted, add your food dye if desired and your essential oil.
- Stir until well incorporated.
- Pour the melted soap into your bunny molds and allow it to set completely.
Isn't that so fun!? It's amazing how easy and fun it can be to make your own lavender bunny soaps!

How cute are these?! Where did you get the molds? I've used the goats milk to make soaps before but not used the colors. Assuming I can get the color at any hobby shop as well?

Such a cute idea! Going to try this!
Melanie
What kind of soap base did you use and how much? The ingredients list natural food dye twice but do not list soap base.

Hi Melanie!
Thank you for catching that. Ashley used a goat milk soap base for these soaps. I'll make sure to reflect that on the card as well.
