In this DIY I’m going to show you the best melt and pour shampoo bar recipe. If you love creating your own beauty products, then this is one that you don’t want to miss out on.
The recipe is super easy and straightforward and creates gorgeous fragrant shampoo bars that you won't be able to get enough of.
Fill the pot halfway with water. Put the lid on and place it on a medium-high heat.
Cut your soap base into smaller pieces; the smaller, the better. Add the pieces to the heat-safe container and then place the heat-safe container inside the pot. Let the soap base melt.
Once it has started melting, add two teaspoons of shea butter. Then cover the pot until the mixture has completely melted.
Check on it often for clumps. If you still see clumps, then it’s not ready yet. When there aren’t any clumps, then it’s ready.
Remove the pot from the heat and add four teaspoons of castor oil to the soap mixture. Then add 25 drops of lavender essential oil, 15 drops of rosemary essential oil, 10 drops of peppermint essential oil. Stir the mixture well to combine.
An optional but recommended step is to spray the base of the soap-making kit with alcohol to discourage air bubbles first. Then, pour in the soap mixture, cover, and allow it to set for 24 hours.
24 hours later, carefully remove the block of soap from the mold and proceed to cut it into bars.
To use the shampoo bar, wet your hair, wet the bar, and then rub the shampoo bar into your hair. Scrub a dub dub! Rinse and repeat.
That’s how you can easily make a melt and pour shampoo bar! The combination of lavender, rosemary, and peppermint oils creates the most gorgeous smelling fragrance that fills the whole shower with a wonderful aroma. I hope you’ll give it a go!
