Ingredients

• Melt and pour base – Any base will work, I suggest this shea butter base

• Turmeric powder – This brings all the color so use a fresh, high-quality turmeric powder
• Honey – When it comes to benefits, using raw honey is important so you get the maximum amount of skin-soothing elements.

You can find most, if not all, of these ingredients at a local health food store, or purchase them through the links I share here for your convenience.

Melt the soap base

Divide the base into smaller chunks and melt in a double boiler. I make a DIY option for crafts the same way I do for food. You can also melt the base in a microwave if you prefer. Put the cut soap base in a microwave-safe container and stir every 30 seconds. Continue heating until completely melted.

Combine ingredients

Add the essential oils and turmeric powder to the melted soap base. If 50 drops of essential oil sound like a lot, consider that this whole recipe will divide into eight or more bars, so each soap bar will contain 6.25 drops per bar, which isn’t too much. I suggest counting in two sets of 25, so you don’t lose track of how many drops get added.

Whisk well with a fork. To avoid lumps and get a nice, even color, it’s best to sprinkle the turmeric powder evenly over the top rather than dumping the whole teaspoon in one place. Next, drizzle honey into the liquid soap and gently push visible honey ribbons throughout the mix with the fork or whisk to combine well.

Transfer to mold and set

Pour the soap mixture into your mold. Leave to set and firm up in a cool, undisturbed place at room temperature for 1-2 hours.

Remove and finish

Once completely firm, remove the soap from the mold. Cut into individual bars if using a loaf mold. Use immediately and store other pieces in a cool dark area by wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap first. You might like using compostable soap wrappers. One hundred pre-cut biodegradable sheets come per packet, making soap wrapping very quick and convenient.

That’s the easy way to make an all natural turmeric soap with a melt-and-pour base. I’d love to test a cold-process technique but haven’t gotten to that yet.
