Citronella Soap

1 cup grated Castile soap
1/2 cup water
10 drops citronella essential oil
5 drops eucalyptus essential oil
1 T. dried, crushed pennyroyal leaves

Mix the ingredients into the melted soap/water mixture. With an electric mixer, whip the soap until it has doubled in volume. Spoon the soap into the prepared molds, pushing it into the molds as best you can (the beating action cools the mix, so work quickly). If the mixture has cooled off and thickened so much you can't put it into the molds, hand mold the soap into large balls.

Earth Clay Soap

1 lb. vegetable glycerin soap
1 T. Clay
2 T. Jojoba Oil
1/4 Cup Distilled Water
Colorant and Scent

Be sure to mix the clay separately. I put the T. of clay in a dish and spoon a small amount of the melted soap and mix it into a paste, then add it to the soap. This eliminates lumps of clay and makes a nice smooth soap.

Lavender Citrus Soap

2 cups grated soap
1/2 cup water
6 vitamin E capsules
1 T. ground dried lemon verberna leaves
1 T. dried lavender buds
10 drops lavender oil
20 drops sweet orange oil

Melt soap with water. After it has melted, add vitamin E oil and remaining ingredients. After the soap has cooled and thickened, scoop out a small handful of the soap and roll into a ball. Flatten the ball to create a disk shape. As the soap cures, press the soap into a firmer and smoother shape. If you like, mix a little orange oil on your hands and polish the soap smooth.
This soap will discolor if the lavender buds are added too soon to the melted soap. If you do not like the rough surface and the darkened color, omit the lavender buds and add extra lavender oil. Or, after a week of curing, you can slice thin shavings from the soap to smooth it and remove any dark patches.

M&P Gardner's Soap

12 oz Clear M&P
.5 oz Grated Beeswax
1/2 T Castor Oil
1 T Grated Dried Lemon Peel
1 T Grated Dried Orange Peel
1/4 C Lightly Toasted Oatmeal
1/2 T Dried Rosemary
2 tsp. Orange EO
1 tsp. Tea tree EO
few drops of Rosemary EO

1. Slice M&P in small chunks. Add this, the grated beeswax and the
castor oil to a double boiler, cover, and let melt completely.
(Never let the temp get over 160 degrees.)
2. While all this is slowly melting put the oatmeal and dried rosemary
in a small food processor and grind to a medium course consistancy.
Add the grated lemon & orange peel and set aside. You should have just
slightly over 1/8th cup all together.

3. When the M&P & beeswax are fully melted remove from heat and transfer
to a 2-cup glass measuring cup--easier to pour into the molds with
this.

4. Let mixture cool until fine skin appears then add EO's and stir in
well.

5. Let mixture cool until skin forms again and then add the oatmeal &
herb mixture.

6. Keep stirring periodically as mixture cools. You will notice that
as the mixture cools the oatmeal & herbs start to stay more suspended
and don't sink to the bottom.

7. When your satisfied that the majority of the herbs are staying
suspended pour into molds.

8. Immediatly put mold into the freezer for 15 minutes then remove.

9. When the soap gets to room temp. pop out of molds and package
as you usually do.

1 Three cavity (4 oz) Fancy Milky Way Mold sheet.
