If you already have a melt and pour base feel free to use it and save even more money. Since this soap really is just the base and no add ins I would make sure to use one that has moisturing properties to it like goat’ milk or Shea butter. Especially, if you have dry skin issues.

Makes 6 bars if using same mold

Supplies:

¾ pound melt & pour soap base
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Rectangular silicone mold
Large Pyrex measuring cup
