This Melt and Pour Lime Soap is energizing and perfect for the Spring and Summer months. I like to leave a bar on my kitchen sink and one in the bathroom. This soap also makes a great gift!
I’m a huge fan of melt and pour soap. First of all, it’s easy and doesn’t require special equipment like traditional soap making, you can scent it with essential oils of your choice, you can add pretty additives like dried flowers, herbs or even lime zest.
Melt and pour soaps also make a great gift and can be tailored for certain holidays or the recipient’s favorite scent.

Another thing that’s great about melt and pour soap is you can choose your own soap base such as shea butter, honey, oatmeal, coconut milk, goats milk and more. I chose goats milk for the lime soap but feel free to substitute with your favorite soap base.
You Will Need:
Goats Milk Soap Base (I use this)
