HOW TO MAKE BAR SOAPS AT HOME WITH JUST A LEMON 🍋Natural, Simple, and Refreshing!

Step 1: Prepare the Lemon

• Wash and zest the lemon using a fine grater. You’ll need about 1 tablespoon of zest.
• Juice the lemon and strain out the seeds and pulp.

Step 2: Melt the Soap Base

• Cut the glycerin soap base into small cubes for easy melting.
• Melt the cubes in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals or use a double boiler on the stove. Stir occasionally until completely melted.

Step 3: Add the Lemon Elements

• Once the soap base is melted, stir in:
  • Lemon zest (adds exfoliating texture)
  • 1-2 tsp of lemon juice (adds natural cleansing)
  • A few drops of lemon essential oil for fragrance
  • Olive or coconut oil for moisturizing (optional)

⚠️ Note: Don’t add too much lemon juice, as too much acidity can affect the soap’s texture and longevity.

Step 4: Pour into Molds

• Pour the soap mixture into your mold or container.
• Tap the mold gently to remove air bubbles.
• Let it cool at room temperature for 2-3 hours or refrigerate for faster setting.

Step 5: Unmold and Store

• Once hardened, remove the soap bars from the mold.
• Wrap in parchment paper or store in an airtight container until ready to use.
