Q&A for How to Make Herbal Soap

Some great herbs that make beautiful soaps and are good for skin are: frankincense essential oil, geranium flowers and essential oil, myrrh, Irish moss, comfrey, carrot seed, and chickweed.

Personally, I like to use oatmeal, lemon, olive oil, and almond. If you want a specifically herbal soap, I would use rosemary, chamomile, lavender, mint, etc.

Yes, you can, as long as the glycerin soap is melt & pour. The soap can be kept for years if necessary, as long as you keep it in a sealed, moisture-free environment.

If you'd like to make glycerin soap from scratch, you can find instructions for it at How to Make Glycerin Soap .

Yes. If you are able to melt and pour the soap without too much trouble, it should be okay.

The soap should last quite some time if stored properly without excessive exposure to moisture. I still have unused (and partially used) soaps I made two years ago! Just be sure that the herbs are preserved properly.

Use dried herbs. You can often buy these in a spice section at your local market, or you can dry them yourself.

Well, it depends on how much you use it. The average time that it will last is probably going to be 2-4 months.
