Make your own orange scented soap with a few simple ingredients.
If you’ve been around our site for a while, then you know I absolutely love to make homemade soap. It is so fun and easy to make and personalize. We’ve made bunny soaps and Star Wars soap. So when I decided to try the Simply Earth essential oils monthly subscription box and it showed up with a soap project, I fell in love!
I’m so excited about the Simply Earth essential oils monthly subscription box. I love using essential oils for DIY projects, but it can get expensive and overwhelming to start. Themes have included cleaning recipes, beauty and bath recipes and more.
The Simple Earth box arrives each month with a new set of 6-7 essential oils along with essential oil “recipes” and all the ingredients needed to make them.
This month’s box was all about soap making using a melt and pour soap base. Usually I just melt my soap down, color it and then mold it in to fun shapes. But the recipes in this box were really fun and more for normal soap. We loved the soap molds so much that we actually order more on our own to use for future projects.
I have a ton of essential oils, but I don’t own any of the oils that came in the box. Simply Earth’s essential oils are 100% natural with no fillers or additives.
The box came with the pretty recipe cards together on a ring. It came with 4 soap recipes and 2 diffuser blend recipes. The soaps recipes were for Earthy Sweet Soothing Soap, Citrus Woods Exfoliating Soap, Citrus Soothing Oatmeal Soap and Orange Cream Exfoliating Soap, which is the recipe we made.
You won’t believe how awesome this soap is! The orange color actually comes from the fresh orange peel you put in the soap. It smells delicious and leaves your skin smooth and clean feeling.
It was hard to measure the 2 tablespoons of soap base. I wasn’t sure how to get 2 tablespoons. So I melted the soap and then measured the tablespoons.
Overall I LOVE the Simply Earth essential oils subscription box! It’s great for anyone who loves simply DIY projects; wants to start doing DIY projects but feels overwhelmed; or any essential oils lover!
