Pumpkin is everywhere this time of year – from lattes to food, to room fragrance – it’s the flavor and scent of the season! I love giving homemade gifts, so I thought why not Pumpkin Spice Hand Soaps? Perfect for hostess or teacher gifts or even great stocking stuffers!
INGREDIENTS
(makes 4 large, 4oz. bars)
1lb Shea butter soap base
Red and yellow soap colorant
Soap mold
Pumpkin pie spice
Microwave safe dish
(I used a 4-cup Pyrex®)
METHOD
Cube soap base, place in microwave safe dish. Microwave in 30-second intervals until completely melted.
Add a couple drops of each colorant and 2 Tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice to the melted soap base. You can alter the amount of colorant to reach the desired shade.
Pour mixture into soap mold. Let sit for 30 minutes, remove and package for gifting!
