5 Great Fall Soap Recipes

Thanks for checking out my 5 Fall Soap Recipes! Fall is such a beautiful time of the year where I live. Whether you love the hot summers or the snowy winters, Autumn is a transition time that often involves new scents outside the home as well as inside the home. The coolness of the mornings, the decomposition of leaves, Fall flowers, Holiday scents like cinnamon, cloves, and pumpkin all create wonderful memories.

One way to create wonderful scents in the home and give meaningful homemade gifts is to make your own Fall soaps using these 5 Fall Soap Recipes.

As always, I only create recipes using pure ingredients. You will find no fragrance oils here (No matter what they claim to not have in them, fragrance oils are a chemical brew that is not natural or healthy).

These recipes have affiliate links to Amazon for your convenience.

Fall Soap Recipes and Tips:

1. I’ve included a few Vegan recipes along with the traditional tallow recipes.
2. You can interchange essential oil scents from one recipe to another if you like the ingredients to another recipe better.
3. If you want to double a recipe or switch out an oil for another one, make sure you run it through a lye calculator to make sure it adds up. You don’t want to end up with too much lye and have a crumbly soap.
4. All Recipes are 2lbs
