Make Your Own Soap with DIY Soap

No need to worry—the kits include clear, step-by-step instructions that make the process foolproof. As someone who's tested countless skincare products, I can confirm it's simpler than expected. I tried their body cream kit myself; details coming up.

The ingredients arrive in a convenient preserving jar for easy mixing. Grab a hand mixer, and for some recipes like body cream, use your microwave to gently soften. It's as routine as everyday cooking. Browse the full menu of kits on the DIY Soap website.

Why Choose DIY Soap?

DIY Soap stands out for its natural, organic formulas, handmade in a social enterprise day program, and eco-friendly packaging. Plus, fresh ingredients mean you control exactly what goes into your skincare—transparency you can trust.

Working with Pure Ingredients

They source high-quality, pure ingredients locally whenever possible, supporting the community. Their organic honey, for instance, comes from a nearby beekeeper, ensuring freshness and sustainability.

Social Interest

Products are crafted in partnership with day activity centers for people with intellectual disabilities—a meaningful initiative that adds heart to every kit.

Grandma's Preserving Jars

Remember those classic preserving jars from grandma's kitchen? They're making a comeback for storage, decor, and now DIY projects. Opt for refills to reuse your jar, or get creative with bonus tips like turning one into a lampshade or vase. Start with soap-making, then upcycle.

Make Your Own Body Cream: We Did It

I'm a skincare routine devotee—body cream post-shower is non-negotiable. Love lotions and scrubs? You'll appreciate this hands-on alternative to drugstore buys.

Our DIY Soap body cream kit included organic shea butter, coconut oil, and almond oil in a preserving jar.

Ready, set, mix. Chop the shea butter into small pieces on a cutting board. Blend with oils and gently warm in the microwave—don't overheat to avoid melting. Stir until creamy like whipped cream. We nailed it on the first try.

Hence That Preserving Jar

This cream is luxuriously thick and nourishing, perfect for dry skin. My partner spotted it too for his work-worn hands, so I hid the jar among pantry staples. Pro tip: stash it well to keep it all to yourself.
