Green Tea and Lavender Soap

• 1). Break your soap base into smaller bits (this can be done by hand) and place the pieces in a microwave-safe bowl.
  
  
• 2). Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and place it into the microwave, heating the bowl on high for one minute.
  
  
• 3). Remove the bowl from the microwave, and remove/discard the plastic wrap.
  
  
• 4). Stir the liquefied soap base to melt any remaining bits.
  
  
• 5). Add 15 to 20 drops each of green tea extract and lavender essential oil to the soap, stirring to combine all the ingredients.
  
  
• 6). Pour the soap into soap molds, spraying any exposed areas with rubbing alcohol to prevent the formation of air bubbles.
  
  
• 7). Allow the soap to harden for three to 24 hours. Carefully remove the soap from molds, and use as desired.
