You can add any scent you want to your soap.
Whether you want to add a nice aroma to a previously unscented bar of soap or you want to make scented soap yourself, you can use the popular "melt and pour" method to get a quality finished product. The method is easy to learn and doesn't require extensive soap making knowledge. Once you learn which tools to use and melt the soap or glycerin bar down, the method itself becomes quite simple.
Instructions
1. Add enough water to a large saucepan to fill it halfway, then set it on the stove and raise the heat to high. Just before the water boils, lower the heat to keep it at a simmer. Set a large glass bowl on top of the saucepan.
2. Insert the unscented bar soap of your choice or a glycerin bar, found in craft stores and online, into the glass bowl. Use a knife to break the chosen material into chunks or a sharp metal cheese grater to shred it.
3. Stir with a plastic spatula continuously as the soap pieces melt together into a liquid.
4. Add a few drops of essential oil into the melted mixture, stirring well. You can choose to use a single scent like lavender or mix more than one for a more customized scent, like lemongrass and basil.
5. Spray a soap mold tray with non scented cooking spray and pour the mixture into the mold or molds.
6. Allow the newly scented soap to cool and harden completely before popping out of the molds. This takes about four hours.
