My go-to blend for making long-lasting, skin-loving soap includes olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter. This combination creates a firm, luxurious bar that’s both gentle and nourishing. The beauty of soapmaking, however, is that you can customize your recipe with the oils and fats you love most to suit your needs, budget, and preferences.

Download an easy PDF printable of my tried-and-true soap recipe here—it’s a total game-changer! I like to call it my “no-fail” recipe because the bars come out hard, lather like crazy, and feature a luxurious 5% superfat for ultra-moisturizing goodness!
