Handmade Christmas Soap Recipes (2024)
Summary
If youre not comfortable working with lye, you may want to skip right down to the melt and pour section - there are some REALLY adorable recipes that are great for making with kids! Cold process soap takes 4-6 weeks to cure, so youll want to make these in October or November to have them ready for using and gifting during the holiday. Use a regular kitchen knife to cut the base into soap cubes, microwave them in a pyrex measuring cup until melted, and youll be off and running. One thing I really love about this recipe is that it calls for raw cacao to provide the coloring in the base layer, rather than relying on a synthetic dye.
