This soap features Cajeput and Bay Essential Oils alone with Simply Earths Glycerine Soap Base.

After watching the quick video they had online I went to it!

Once melted, remove from heat and stir in essential oils.

Drop them in slowly!!

Fill mold with soap base and add flowers.

If flowers float to the surface, use a toothpick to push them back in.

Once soap is cooled (about 15 minutes) remove from the mold.

Its ready to use!

Easy peasy and so customizable.

I love the idea of putting little toys in the soap for the kids to find.

Simply Earth suggest using Tangerine, Lavendar, Cedarwood or their Sweet Dreams Blend instead.
