🔬 Step-by-Step: Make Your Own Soap

2. Add Color & Fragrance
Mix in your choice of essential oils (like lavender or tea tree) and colorants. Stir gently.
3. Pour Into Molds
Pour the melted soap into molds. Lightly spray with rubbing alcohol to remove surface bubbles.

Let it set at room temperature for 2–4 hours. Once firm, pop the soaps out of the mold.
