An important step in any skincare routine involves keeping your skin clear of excess dirt and oil. These facial cleansers created with melt and pour soap are specially formulated to suit either dry or oily skin.
For dry skin try the bar at the end of this post. Treat yourself to a luxurious and moisturizing blend of Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil in our Shea Melt & Pour base. This results in a soap that doesn’t really lather due to the extra oil & butter, but it is mild and gentle for dry skin. If your skin is on the oily side try the recipe directly below, Green Zeolite Clay helps absorb excess oil while Olive Leaf Powder is known for its antiseptic properties.

2 tsp. Olive Leaf Powder
4 tsp. Green Zeolite Clay
3 ml Tea Tree Essential Oil

Optional:Â Droppers
ONE: Cut and melt 24 oz. of White Melt and Pour Base in a heat-safe container on 20-30 second bursts. Add Olive Leaf Powder, and stir.
TWO: Add Green Zeolite Clay, and use a whisk to remove any large chunks of powder.
THREE: Add Tea Tree Essential Oil and Rosemary Essential Oil. Stir to thoroughly combine.
FOUR:Â Once the melt and pour has reached about 120-125 degrees, pour into the mold. Spray with isopropyl alcohol to disperse any bubbles. Allow to fully dry and enjoy!
If your skin is in need of moisture, the Lavender & Chamomile Cleansing Bar is made with additional Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil to nourish and hydrate. Because of the additional moisture the lather is minimal, but still thoroughly cleanses. With Chamomile Extract and Chamomile Essential Oil, this cleanser is also suitable for sensitive skin due to Chamomile’s ability to soothe irritation.
