Simple Animal Soap Recipe

This is a super simple, inexpensive soap recipe that you could do with the children.  It literally takes just minutes. 

Children always seem to love these and it’s a good way to get them to use a very gentle but fun product that is SLS free, palm oil free and Glycerine based – non-drying, this is a natural humectant, which draws moisture to your skin making it soft and supple. 

Suitable for all skin types, including oily skin - they are also a great plastic free alternative to shower gel. 

They certainly make popular children’s gifts too!

To make 8 individual soaps you will need:-

  • Soap Colour for Melt & Pour Soaps (water based) again, many are available online.
  • Witch Hazel/rubbing alcohol in small spray bottle (find both on ebay.co.uk and glass rather than plastic spray bottles at baldwins.co.uk) – not entirely essential to have but will just get rid of any surface air bubbles.
