Lavender Citrus Soap

This recipe for a handmade soap is a little more complex, but the end result is a great all-natural soap:

• 6 vitamin E capsules
• 1 tablespoon of ground dried lemon verberna leaves
• 1 tablespoon of dried lavender buds
• 10 drops of lavender oil
• 20 drops of sweet orange oil

Melt the soap in the water. After it has melted, add vitamin E oil and the remaining ingredients. After the soap has cooled and thickened, scoop out a small handful of the soap and roll it into a ball. Flatten the ball to create a disk shape.

Mix a little orange oil on your hands and polish the soap smooth. This soap will discolor if the lavender buds are added too soon to the melted soap.
