This soap mainly consists of Rapeseed Oil. If you rather make it with Olive Oil, you can use the recipe for Easy Shea Butter soap.
We make the easy two-layer color design by dividing the soap batter in two and color one with turmeric. The soap in the photo also has a spoonful of chia seeds added just before molding.
The benefits of using Turmeric
Turmeric is anti inflammatory and antioxidant. It also reduce dark spots.
