Instructions

Begin by melting the coconut oil and cocoa or Shea butter in a sauce pan over low heat on your stove.
While this is melting, scoop the aloe vera into your blender. Add the castile soap and baking soda. Then pour in the melted coconut oil and shea/cocoa butter. Lastly add 10 drops of your favorite essential oil.
Put the lid on your blender and blend for 2 minutes. Don’t skip time; you want to blend more even if it looks fully blended because of the coconut oil.
When it’s finished, pour into a soap dispenser and you’re ready to use it!
