Ingredients

• Shea Butter Melt & Pour Soap Base, Cut into 1-inch cubes
• Yellow soap colorant
• Lemon essential oil

To give it a soft and pretty color, I used a yellow colored soap that I purchased on Amazon. The scent is from the essential oil. Many of my DIY beauty videos use crucial oils.

It would help if you also bought a silicon soap mold. You will find them so useful! Avoid cheap plastic molds. Silicone molds are best! If you want, you can also use them for baking. The multi-purpose is the best!
