Mix well and finally stir in the color. For this I used 5 drops, if you like it lighter or darker, you can easily vary.

Give to the side about a quarter of it - we need this part for the dark stripe.

Pour the first layer of soap into the silicone mold. If you like to have a crooked pattern, just put a stone, a lid or something else under one side of the mold.

Put the soap aside for an hour.

Step 2: The activated carbon

In the next step, our homemade lavender soap gets a decorative dark stripe. For this we need Activated carbon*.

Melt the purple soap base that you have set aside. Add 1-2 pinches of activated charcoal powder until the soap base turns dark gray.

Now add a little thyme oil (about 5 drops). Stir well and pour as a second layer on the lavender soap.

And again set aside for an hour. As you can see, you need plenty of time to make your own lavender soap. But it's really worth it :)

Step 3: The white layer for DIY lavender soap

For the white part, melt the remaining soap base. Add 10 drops of castor oil, a teaspoon of shea butter and 5 drops of lavender and thyme oil.

Now add a tablespoon of rose water and Witch hazel water* Add to the mixture. Stir well and pour into the silicone mold.

If you want your homemade lavender soap to have a beautiful pattern, let it rest for 10 minutes. After this time, roughen the layer with a spoon. Draw a wavy pattern and sprinkle a few Lavender flowers* up.

Step 4: Cut lavender soap

It is best to let the soap dry properly overnight. Then cut it into 3-5 cm thick slices.

For me, this tutorial results in 10 bars of homemade lavender soap.
