Tips & variations
Once you have made your herbal soaps, here are a few ways to get a great result and make it your own.
- Use a soap-safe fragrance within the recommended rate so it pours and sets well.
- Pick a flexible silicone mould, it makes unmoulding much easier.
- Melt glycerine soap gently in short bursts so it does not overheat or form a skin.
Make it your own: swap the colour, fragrance or botanicals, or try a different mould for a whole new look.
