Supplies:

Melt and Pour Soap Base (2lbs makes eight 4oz bars)

Soap Molds

Apple Soap Scent

Red Soap Coloring

Cinnamon

Vanilla Extract (optional)DIY Apple Spice Bar Soap | CGH LifestyleI bought a 2 pound block of goats milk soap base, and made up half of it at a time. Cut the soap base up into 1 inch cubes, and place in a microwave safe bowl. I’d recommend using a glass measuring cup, as it makes for an easier time pouring and cleaning up. I didn’t have one on hand, so this glass bowl had to do.DIY Apple Spice Bar Soap | CGH LifestyleMicrowave the soap base in 30 second increments. I did this about 3 times, stirring in between each interval. The time can depend on your microwave, as well as the type of soap used. If your soap provides instructions with a different recommended time amount, follow those. As soon as your soap cubes are completely melted, quickly stir in the apple soap scent, red soap color, and cinnamon. I also added a dash of vanilla extract to add a little extra something.DIY Apple Spice Bar Soap | CGH LifestyleStir your soap until it’s completely combined, then pour into your molds. After pouring into the molds, gently tap to bring the bubbles to the top so they can pop.DIY Apple Spice Bar Soap | CGH LifestyleLet your soap set overnight. I found the easiest way to take them out of the molds is to turn the mold over, then press gently on the bar of soap until it pops out. Depending on the type of mold you use (plastic, silicone, etc.), you may find an easier method. Enjoy a nice warm bath with your homemade apple spice soap, then wrap the rest of your bars in plastic wrap or baggies to use later!DIY Apple Spice Bar Soap | CGH LifestyleWhat’s your favorite fall scent?
