As the festive season approaches and our homes fill with the scents of cinnamon, citrus, and spice, many of us reach for seasonal products, but have you ever wondered what's really in those synthetic fragrances?

We've created a simple step-by-step guide to customising our iconic All-One Magic Soap with your favourite festive essential oils, offering a completely natural alternative to the synthetic seasonal fragrances flooding the market.

The Perfect Base for Your Festive Creation

The beauty of this DIY approach is its simplicity. Using Dr. Bronner's Unscented Baby Mild All-One Magic Soap as your base, you can add your own blend of organic essential oils to create a truly personalised seasonal scent. Whether you're drawn to the cosy warmth of pumpkin spice or a traditional Christmas blend of cinnamon, orange and clove, or something uniquely your own, the choice is entirely yours! 

We recommend starting with our Baby Mild soap because it contains no essential oils and double the amount of olive oil, making it exceptionally moisturising and nourishing to the skin. This unscented base is the perfect blank canvas for your creativity.

The Power (and Potency) of Essential Oils

Essential oils bring so much to both personal care and household cleaning solutions, from personalised scents to genuine therapeutic qualities. However, it's important to remember that these natural ingredients are incredibly potent. Avoid the common trap of thinking "if a little is good, more must be better."

Each essential oil has distinctive properties, so we encourage you to research the oils you're drawn to before blending. A little knowledge goes a long way in creating the perfect festive soap for your needs.

What You'll Need:

• 1 bottle of 475ml Dr. Bronner's Unscented Baby Mild All-One Magic Soap 
• Essential oil: Add about 80 drops, or about half a 5 mL bottle

Instructions:

Once settled on an essential oil, mix directly into the Baby Unscented soap. Mixing directly might lead to some separation between the oils and the soap, so give it a good shake before each use. If you want to avoid separation altogether, here are a few mixing tips!

• Heat the soap in a stainless-steel pot over low heat for about 5 minutes
• Add the soap and oil(s) together in an immersion blender
• Blend for 1 minute
• Stir occasionally while the soap cools
• Once cooled, pour blended soap into a bottle
