Notes for Success

All you need to grate soap is a normal cheese grater or food processor. Just be sure to break it up if you're using a food processor to break your soap into chunks so you don't overtax the engine of your machine.

Coconut oil melts just above room temperature at 76°F, so if yours is still solid, gently warm it up in the microwave or on the stovetop. It will only take a few seconds to melt it.

If you don't have coconut oil or prefer not to use it, feel free to substitute extra virgin olive oil or your favorite skin-friendly oil, like jojoba. 

If you aren't sure which essential oil to use, try your favorite Southern Natural soap and get all of the benefits without having to come up with your own blend. You really can't go wrong with any of our options, but here are some suggestions to inspire you:
