Lay your soap mold on a flat, stable surface. Sprinkle about 1 tsp. orange peel into the mold, creating a thin layer of orange peel in each cavity.

Add 5-8 drops of sweet orange essential oil and 3 tsp. orange peel, and stir until they’re fully incorporated into the soap base.

Pour the soap base into the mold until the cavities are half full. Some of the orange peel will sink to the bottom. If bubbles form, spritz the surface with alcohol until they pop (optional). Let this layer cool for about 10 minutes, or until it starts to harden.

Add 5-8 drops of sweet orange essential oil and about half the bag of clove powder. Stir, and then let your soap base cool until it’s warm but not hot. This ensures the first layer of soap in the mold won’t melt.

Pour the soap base into the mold, filling each cavity to the top. Let the soap cool for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in warmer temperatures.

Once the soap has set and cooled, flip the mold over and push firmly but gently around the edges of each cavity to release the soap bars. Your soap is done! Use or gi� your beautiful bars, or store them for up to 6 months.
