WARNING: you’re going to want to take a bite into these soaps. Ditch all the plastic packaging that comes with buying boring soap from the store. Try making your own soap instead.
Check out each delicious-looking soap down below for a full list of materials you’ll need as well as step-by-step instructions to help you out along the way.
Cinnamon Roll Soaps
Materials:
- white soap base (melted)
- cinnamon
- gold soap coloring
- vanilla essential oil
- almond oil
- piping bag
Instructions:
- Start with a melted white soap base. The best way to execute this is by setting a bowl over a pot of boiling water to help properly melt the soap down without burning it.
- Stir in some cinnamon, gold soap coloring, and vanilla essential oil until the white soap base changes to more of a tan color.
- Remove from the heat and pour into a rectangular tray. You can shape your own out of aluminum foil.
- Sprinkle more cinnamon over the soap and let the soap semi-harden.
- Remove it from the tray and cut lengthwise with a pizza cutter.
- Roll each strip up to shape your cinnamon rolls.
- In a small dish, mix together some cinnamon and almond oil.
- With a paintbrush, follow the spiral of the cinnamon roll and paint on the cinnamon and almond oil mixture.
- Add any leftover over white soap base (melted) to a piping bag and pipe the “frosting” over the cooled cinnamon roll soap bar.
Peelable Rose Petal Soaps
Materials:
Instructions:
- Start with a melted white soap base. The best way to execute this is by setting a bowl over a pot of boiling water to help properly melt the soap down without burning it.
- Squeeze in some pink and red soap coloring and a few drops of rose essential oil. Stir until the soap base changes to a nice pink color.
- Remove the pink soap from the heat and spoon small amounts onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Peel the “rose petals” off the baking sheet once they are semi-hardened.
- Roll the individual petals up and add more and more until you’re left with a rose. Open up the edges of the petals to really make the soap look like a rose.
- With a knife, cut off the excess bottom parts of the rose soap.
Funfetti Cake Soap
Materials:
- white soap base (melted)
- gold soap coloring
- vanilla essential oil
- pink, green, purple, and orange soap bits (the sprinkles in the Funfetti batter)
- pink soap coloring
- dish soap
Instructions:
- Start with a melted white soap base. The best way to execute this is by setting a bowl over a pot of boiling water to help properly melt the soap down without burning it.
- Stir in a few drops of gold soap coloring and vanilla essential oil.
- Add in the small cubes of the pink, green, purple, and orange soap bars to act as the sprinkles throughout the batter.
- Pour the “batter” into a silicone cake mold. Set it aside and let it harden.
- In a separate bowl, with more melted white soap base, add some dish soap.
- Using a hand mixer, mix the soap until the texture resembles “frosting.”
- Spoon a quarter of the mixture into a piping bag.
- Add pink soap coloring to the remaining mixture in the bowl. Stir until you have pink “frosting.”
- Remove the Funfetti batter soap from the silicone mold.
- Apply the pink “frosting” with a frosting spatula until the “cake” is covered.
- Add piping of the white frosting around the cake in whichever design you’d like.
- Feel free to add any other decorations!
Honeycomb Soap

- white soap base (melted)
- clear soap base
- honey
- almond oil
- orange essential oil
- orange zest
- silicone honeycomb soap mold
- rubbing alcohol
Instructions:
- Start with either a melted white or clear soap base. The best way to execute this is by setting a bowl over a pot of boiling water to help properly melt the soap down without burning it.
- Drizzle in some honey, the orange essential oil, almond oil, and some orange zest. Stir until the white soap base changes to a dull orange color or the clear soap base to a deep honey color.
- Pour the two different colored soaps into each half of the silicone honeycomb soap mold. Let the soap harden before removing from the mold.
