Or consider this homemade bar soap:

DIY ROSEMARY AND LAVENDER BAR SOAP RECIPE

• 1/2 lb. Goat’s Milk Soap Base

• 2 tbsp. Dried Rosemary

• 2 tbsp. Dried Lavender

• 15 drops ROSEMARY Essential Oil

• 15 drops Lavender Essential Oil

• Soap Mold

• Soap Coloring (optional)

• Spritz bottle filled with rubbing alcohol

Chop the rosemary and lavender into fine pieces and sprinkle a small amount into the bottom of the soap mold. Cut the soap base and place in a microwave safe cowl or a small pan for melting. If using the microwave, use 30 second increments until melted. On the stove top use low heat, stirring constantly, until completely melted. Transfer to a liquid measuring cup and allow to cool until no longer hot, just warm. Add Essential Oils and soap coloring if desired. Add remaining lavender and rosemary to bowl. Stir to combine. Spray the bottom of the mold with the rubbing alcohol (this is to help remove any air bubbles that would have gotten trapped in the soap). Gently pour soap mixture into soap molds. Spray the top of the soap with the rubbing alcohol. Allow to harden for at least an hour. Gently pop out of mold and store in an airtight container until ready to use.
