Antibacterial Properties: Lemon essential oil has natural antiseptic qualities, making it a great addition for hand soaps.
Method 1: Melt-and-Pour Lemon Soap
Ingredients (Makes about 4–6 bars)
1 lb (450 g) melt-and-pour soap base (glycerin or goat’s milk base work well)
1 tablespoon lemon zest (finely grated, optional for texture)
10–15 drops lemon essential oil (adjust to preference)
