A R O M A L O V E LYWhen Tuesday calls for a tango with the lap of luxury, here’s one way to say yes to the queen treatment: homemade aromatherapy. We suggest a shea butter base and lavender-bud add-ins (they’re sold ready to go) for maximum relaxation.

Easy gift idea: Use our loaf mold to make a large
soap brick—this one features mint-leaf inclusions.
Then use straight or wavy soap cutters to cut bars to size!

T I P : Add pops of color
using our soap dyes!
F R E S H I N F L O R A L SSuspended petals in clear soap make a gorgeously serene statement. Start by filling a rectangular mold until half full, place in greens or florals, and let dry slightly. Then fill mold to the top.
O AT S L A L AIf silky-smooth skin is your goal, look no further: Oats
and shea butter offer loads of moisturizing properties.
We used an embossing mold for this shape,
but we kept the look simple by skipping
the stamp.
Z E S T O F L U C KWhen you add lime and sea salt, homemade soap packs a tangy—and exfoliating—punch. We poured olive oil soap into molds in small increments, sprinkling chunks of salt between each layer. And we finished with a thick layer of zest!

WA K E - U P C A L LPerk up your morning routine with these caffeine happies! (Psst: Coffee grounds are great for sensitive skin types.) Shapes: Place cookie cutter on parchment paper for a makeshift mold. Soap on a rope: Stand straws in soap batter to create holes.
