Christmas Stocking Stuffer Idea: Easy DIY Shea Butter Soap
Looking for DIY stocking stuffer ideas? I wanted to show you guys this DIY shea butter soap recipe, with juniper berry and rosemary oil. It is so quick to make, and these 3 bars will last up to 2 months. Let’s give this a try together.
Tools and materials:
- Shea butter melt and pour soap
- Cutting board
- Soap mold
- Latex gloves (optional)
- Alcohol spray
- Glass measuring cup
- Sharp knife
- Microwave
- Spoon for mixing
- Rosemary oil
- Juniper berry oil
1. Prepare your tools
Prepare your soap mold by spraying it with alcohol spray.
2. Cut the shea butter block
Cut the shea butter into small pieces. This will make it easier to melt in the microwave.
3. Microwave
Pop the shea butter cubes into the microwave and check on it every 30 seconds until it is just melted.
Overheating it will ruin its nutrients. If there are a few lumps remaining, just stir them until they melt.
4. Add fragrance
I added both rosemary and juniper berry oil.
Besides smelling great, the juniper berry oil is a natural toner for the skin, keeping it clear and healthy by reducing blemishes.
Rosemary essential oil has anti-inflammatory properties
5. Spray and pour
To avoid bubbles, spray alcohol on top. Then pour the melted shea butter into your mold.
After this, I waited 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Here's how the shea butter soap came out. I wish you could smell it!
I really like the minty fragrance, as well as the benefits of using natural soap during my pregnancy. But anyone can reap the benefits of natural shea butter soap.
