Chop & melt the base: Cut your soap base into small cubes and melt it in a double boiler or microwave (10-15 sec bursts, stirring between). Don’t overheat — it should be fully melted but not boiling. 2. Add oils: Once melted, stir in castor oil and olive (or jojoba) oil thoroughly. 3. Add rosemary: Stir in rosemary essential oil (and peppermint, if using). If you want a natural look, sprinkle in a little dried rosemary. 4.
