Carnations: I Put Them in Soap, Let Me Explain the Trick My Grandmother Taught Me

Pluck the petals from the fresh carnations and soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes to release their essence.

Melt the Soap
Cut the soap into small chunks and place it in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. Melt it gently until it becomes a liquid.

Infuse the Soap with Petals
Add the soaked carnation petals to the melted soap and stir well. Let the soap cool slightly before adding a few drops of your chosen essential oil.

Set the Soap
Pour the mixture into a mold and let it set in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours until it solidifies.

Use and Enjoy
Once set, your homemade carnation-infused soap is ready to use. Enjoy its moisturizing, healing properties while indulging in its calming fragrance.
