Tip # 1 

Choose a formula that will suit the person it is intended for:

The Triple Mild Soap is perfect for dry sensitive skins

White Soap, like Dove (but without the nasty chemicals!) is perfect for normal skin

* (In this post, you will find our recipe as well as our Dove formula review below)


 

Tip # 2

Using stamps or moulds of your choice are a great way to personalize your gift!

Tip # 3

Choose your prefered fragrance! Always add the fragrance after the cold saponification reaction (instructions in the tutorial links above), or your fragrances will be denaturated by the saponification reaction.

You can use his or her perfume, but you can also make your own blend with essential oils.

Essential oil that many women opt for are Neroli, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, Lavender, Mandarine, Rose, Geranium.

Essential oil that many men opt for will usually be a mix of woody essential oils like Cedarwood, Santal, or greener smells such as Petit Grain, Tea Tree.

Tip # 4

By adding natural minerals or vegetal pigments to your mixture (after the saponification reaction), you can have a lot of fun playing with colors!

We love using Italian Rose mineral pigments or blue indigo for men. Charcoal is also great as it gives your soap a beautiful black colour and has amazing purifying properties.
