  • Add 6-8 drops of soap scent oils. I have a box with 10 fruity scents and they all smell delicious: pineapple, mango, strawberry, watermelon, apple, cherry, cucumber melon, lemon, orange, and peppermint (obviously not fruity, so that one was a surprise!) These work great and can be used for homemade lip gloss, too.

  • Place soap mold onto a small baking sheet. Pour melted soap into a silicone mold. Allow to set in the refrigerator 30-45 minutes.
