Melt and Pour Handmade Soap With Wild Violet Leaves

   Late this afternoon (Sunday) I decided I wanted to make this melt and pour soap Jan the Nerdy Farm Wife's site is full of good recipes for all sorts of things herbal.

  The recipe called for chickweed or wild violet leaves and  8 ounces of melt and pour soap and 1/4 teaspoon of lavender essential oil.

  I chose the violet leaves as I have used them before in a balm and are healing for dry skin.

  Very happy with the results, I ended up making two batches-made notes to double the recipe next time. I used two of my guest soap molds

 I grabbed the double boiler I use for soap making

Added chopped wild violet leaves to the bottom then on top added a baby buttermilk melt and pour-my favorite melt and pour from Wholesale Supplies Plus

Heated til just melted on low

Turned the heat to very very low, put the lid on for 30 minutes

Strained as adding to the soap molds  Love the color

Once set took them out of the molds to dry before wrapping 

I am very happy with the results.
