Our dandelion soap is crafted with fresh dandelion flowers and dandelion-infused olive oil as the star ingredients, providing natural vitamins and minerals that nourish your skin. Sunflower oil is sometimes used as a nourishing base oil or for making dandelion infused oil. We blend premium oils including coconut oil for rich lather, moisturizing shea butter and cocoa butter for deep hydration, and conditioning castor oil for a smooth, silky feel. This soap recipe uses a blend of solid oils and liquid oils to achieve the ideal texture and moisturizing properties. The oil mixture is carefully measured and blended for consistency.

Dandelion petals and dried dandelion blossoms are included as decorative and functional botanical ingredients. Powdered dandelion leaf and dandelion root powder are added for natural color—often resulting in a light green hue—and gentle exfoliation. After infusing oils, making dandelion infused oil involves steeping dried dandelion blossoms in a carrier oil such as sunflower oil. To make a potent dandelion tea for use in the soap recipe, pour steaming hot water over fresh dandelion flowers and allow them to steep, extracting their beneficial properties. You can also pour the dandelion tea into ice cube trays and freeze it, making it easy to portion and use in future soap recipes or other herbal preparations. Extra virgin olive oil can be used for a premium cold process soap recipe. Palm oil is sometimes included for a hard, lather-rich bar, but consider sourcing sustainable palm oil.

For natural decoration, flower petals such as rose petals can be sprinkled on top. Distilled water is used for purity when dissolving lye and making infusions. Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) is used to create the lye solution necessary for saponification, and a lye calculator ensures the correct proportions in the soap recipe. This cold process soap recipe is based on tried-and-tested soap recipes for quality and safety.

The process involves creating a lye solution, blending it with the oil mixture using an immersion blender, and mixing until the soap batter reaches a light trace. The soap batter is then poured into a soap mold to set and cure. Making soap at home is a rewarding aspect of natural soapmaking, and this soap recipe is ideal for those who want to make soap using traditional cold process soap making techniques.

This nourishing soap bar provides gentle yet effective cleansing while delivering the natural benefits of dandelion flowers to help your skin look and feel more nourished and refreshed. The soap may also include dandelion tea as an infusion, adding extra skin benefits from its herbal properties.

The combination of rich oils and butters creates a luxurious, creamy lather that leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and moisturized without any tightness or dryness. The natural vitamins and minerals from the dandelion infusion help promote a healthy, radiant glow, while the carefully balanced formula works beautifully for daily use on both face and body. Natural colorants like powdered dandelion leaf can give the soap a light green hue, enhancing its fresh, botanical look.

Wet your skin with warm water, then gently work the soap bar into a rich lather between your hands or with a washcloth. Apply the creamy lather to your face and body, enjoying the natural fragrance and luxurious feel. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry. Use daily as part of your morning or evening routine, or whenever you want to treat yourself to a moment of natural luxury. For best results, store the soap in a well-draining soap dish between uses to extend its life.
