3. Pour the melted mixture into a decorative container or into greased soap molds and allow soap to set for an hour or so. Then remove gently with a blunt knife.
Try adding roughly ground cornmeal, oatmeal, almonds, chopped up loofa sponges to give extra textures. Also try pits from peaches, apricots and plums. Just grind them up and add them to the soap.
