What You’ll Need

Directions

  • Mix the patchouli, orange, and rose oils together.
  • Slowly whisk the baking soda, cream of tartar, and SLS together in a large bowl.
  • In a smaller container, stir the liquid soap concentrate into the oil blend, with dye if you're using it.

Notes

Crumble a bar under warm running bath water for bubbles. Wrap the bars airtight in cellophane, wax paper, or parchment. Safety: SLS and baking soda dust can irritate the nose and throat, so wear a dust mask while mixing.
