How to make chamomile soap

Melt about 5 ounces of the goat’s milk soap base in a large microwave-safe dish (you can also use the double boiler method). I like to use a large Pyrex measuring cup because it makes for easy pouring into your mold. Stir every 30 seconds until melted.
Stir in about 10 drops of the vanilla and chamomile essential oil into the melted soap. Pour into soap mold. You can use a small spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol to get rid of any air bubbles (one spray is all you need). Tip: check the travel supply section or at Michaels in the soap aisle, the bottles are only a dollar. Let the soap set for at least an hour or until completely hardened.

Remove from mold. Combine a few drops of rubbing alcohol with a ¼ teaspoon of the yellow pigment powder. You’ll need a small brush to “paint” the cosmetic pigment on the soap. This gives the daisy flowers a pop of color and helps bring out the shape from the mold.
