It’s your at-home spa, so there’s no reason it shouldn’t feel like a space you can relax. Luckily, this double-DIY takes the stimulating, fresh aromas of Island Mint and doTERRA Purify® essential oil blends in a package that will leave your bathroom smelling like a fresh island escape. 

Bathroom Bar Soap
Adding essential oils to homemade soap is the perfect way to infuse your bath routine with beautiful, naturally sourced fragrances.

1. Cut off enough of the soap base to fill your chosen mold and place it in a microwave-safe bowl.
2. Melt the soap base in increments of 30 seconds, or using a stovetop double boiler.
3. Add a handful of dried herbs to the soap mold. 
4. Add Island Mint oil and doTERRA Purify oil.

6. Let the soap sit in its mold for an hour.
