Soap with Lavender Essential Oil | Aura Cacia

Ingredients

• 1 fl. oz. Aura Cacia Lavender Essential Oil
• 2 1/2 lbs. Melt-and-Pour Soap Base
• 9x9 Nonstick Cake Pan, greased
• Wax Paper
• Tape
• Silicon Spatula
• Kitchen Scale (oz.)
• Double Boiler
• Spray and line a nonstick baking pan with wax paper, folding excess wax paper over the rim. Tape edges and set aside.
• In a double boiler over simmering water, heat soap base on low until melted. Remove from heat.
• Stir until well-combined and cool enough that a "trace" develops when you lift spoon. Add essential oil and stir again until combined.

• For a decorative touch, sprinkle surface of soap with dried lavender flowers directly after pouring into baking pan.
