this idea now...

What You’ll Need:

This makes enough for 12 bars of soap

• 2 lb block of Goat’s Milk Glycerin Melt & Pour Base Soap
• silicone mold
• clove essential oil
• ginger essential oil
• cinnamon essential oil
• 2 Tbsp pumpkin puree
• 2 Tbsp pumpkin spice
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cup glass measuring cup
• spatula

*I buy my essential oils from Amazon or Rocky Mountain Oils

How to Make Homemade Pumpkin Spice Goat’s Milk Soap

The soap will come in a flat 2 lb rectangle that will easily cut with a knife.  Cut it up into cubes and place half of it into your glass measuring cup.  My Pyrex measuring cup holds about half of the soap – so I made my pumpkin spice soap bars in 2 different batches.  You will want to make 2 batches anyway since you will add some ingredients to half of the soap, and other ingredients to the other half.

Microwave the goat’s milk soap first for a minute and stir.  Then microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the soap is completely melted.  

For the first batch of soap (the “pumpkin batch”), add 2 heaping tablespoons full of canned pureed pumpkin.  

Stir the pumpkin puree well until you get a smooth soap texture.  The pumpkin will lump up initially – so keep stirring until the mixture is smooth.  The pumpkin serves as both a natural colorant, and added authentic scent to your soap.  

Now take the second half of the soap and melt that in a microwave safe container.  This half we will add the rest of the ingredients, including the spices and essential oils – so I’ll call it the “spice batch”.  After this batch is completely melted, add 2 tablespoons of pumpkin spice.

Then add 1 teaspoon each of brown sugar and salt.

For the essential oils, add 20 drops of clove, 10 drops of cinnamon and 10 drops of ginger.  Stir well until combined.  

This pumpkin spice soap will have 2 layers to it with the pumpkin batch being poured first, followed by the spice batch on top.  Be sure both batches are still fully liquefied before pouring.  Give them a 30 second heating boost in the microwave if necessary.   

Fill each section of your silicone mold halfway with the pumpkin batch of melted soap.

Top off each of the molds with the spice batch of melted soap.  

To make the design in the soap you see in my photos, put a spoon into the center each of the 12 soap sections, gently move it a bit, and pull it straight back out.

 That is just enough for the spice soap layer to burst under the pumpkin soap layer for the speckled spice look on the top. 

Let your homemade pumpkin spice soap cool for about an hour or until firm. Pop the soap out of the molds and enjoy the fragrance.

2. Microwave the goat’s milk soap first for a minute and stir. Then microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the soap is completely melted.
3. For the first batch of soap (the “pumpkin batch”), add 2 heaping tablespoons full of canned pureed pumpkin. Stir the pumpkin puree well until you get a smooth soap texture. The pumpkin will lump up initially – so keep stirring until the mixture is smooth.
4. For the second batch – the “spice” batch, take the second half of the soap and melt that in a microwave safe container. After this batch is completely melted, add the pumpkin spice, brown sugar, and salt. Then add the essential oils and mix everything together until well combined.

6. Fill each section in your silicone mold with the first pumpkin soap batch. This should fill it about half way. Now add the “spice” soap batch the top and gently swirl each mold with a spoon; this will give you a nice blended design.
7. Let it sit for about an hour or until solidified. Gently remove your pumpkin spice soap from the molds.
