Essential Oil Massage Soap - Easy DIY Recipe Tutorial by Loving Essential Oils

I love the fresh forest aroma of conifer oils, especially pine and fir essential oils. Here is a fun recipe for essential oil massage soap using your choice of pine scents.

This recipe uses melt and pour soap. This type of soap base is really easy to work with. Its name says it all!

Melt and Pour Soap Base For Essential Oils

Melt and Pour soap bases are especially great for beginners or those DIYers that are not committed to crafting cold process soap.

To use melt and pour soap, all you have to do is cut up the soap block, melt it down, add color and scent, then pour into your desired soap mold. Check out our full tutorial below.

I am using Goat's Milk melt and pour base because it has hydrating and nourishing properties. You can also use shea butter base or whatever melt and pour soap base you prefer.

Conifer Essential Oils For Soap Making

Conifers typically consist of evergreen trees that bear cones and needle-like leaves. Coniferous essential oils are steam distilled from these trees and produce aromas that are woodsy, piney and earthy. Often times, it is reminiscent of a fresh forest or Christmas time.

In general, conifer oils are supportive to the lungs and airway passages. They can also be grounding, uplifting, and stimulating.

I choose white fir (aka silver fir) for my soap bars. I really love the sharp pine aroma this oil has. It is so energizing and invigorating, especially great for a morning shower.

Here are some to choose from:

  • Silver Fir (aka White Fir)
  • Douglas Fir
  • Balsam Fir
  • Siberian Fir
  • Scots Pine (aka Scotch pine)
  • Hemlock
  • Black Spruce

Step by Step Tutorial

Step 1: Cut up the soap block with a sharp knife into small squares. This helps it to melt quicker. Place the cut up soap into the glass measuring cup.

Step 2: Place the measuring cup into a pot with several inches of boiling water. You do not want rapid boiling because that can cause water to splash into your soap base.

Step 3: Stir occasionally until base completely melts (no solid chunks left). Takes 10-15 minutes. Once melted, remove from heat using a pot holder because the handle will be hot.

Step 4: Add in the essential oils and stir well. I used White Fir for my pine scent and Blue Tansy essential oil for the coloration of the soap, it adds a soft minty color. It also adds a unique aroma but this oil can be omitted. Read more about Blue Tansy here.

Step 5: Pour soap into soap mold. I filled almost 4 of these molds with this recipe (one bar was just a little shorter).

Step 6: Immediately spray the exposed tops of soap with rubbing alcohol, this helps to pop the bubbles so the soap is smooth on top (see the picture). You can get the molds I used here.

Step 7: Let cool until the soap hardens, usually about 2-3 hours. Pop soap bars out of silicone mold. The unused soap bars will need to be wrapped in plastic wrap for storage to avoid having them sweat (also called glycerin dew).

Best Essential Oils for Massage Soap

Soap is a great way to get clean and can even have a relaxing scent thanks to essential oils. Find out which essential oil combinations work best for soap.

Combining certain oils together, you can make the perfect soap that not only smells nice but also has specific benefits like antimicrobial properties and improving your skin's natural oil production. They help enhance skin health and relaxation.

Aromatherapy massages are a great way to provide a soothing, relaxing massage experience while also providing the therapeutic benefits of aromatherapy.

Geranium essential oil is a popular choice for aromatherapy due to its sweet, floral scent and its many therapeutic benefits, such as its ability to reduce anxiety, balance hormones, and improve skin health.

Peppermint essential oil is a popular choice for aromatherapy, as it is known to help reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and even help to alleviate headaches.

Lavender essential oil is a popular choice for aromatherapy and has been used for centuries to help reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, and even help with skin conditions like acne and eczema. Dilute with jojoba oil and apply this oil to your face and neck. I like to add frankincense or helichrysum for the skin around the eyes.

Grapefruit essential oil  is a powerful natural remedy that can be used to treat a variety of ailments. It has a sweet, citrusy scent that is both calming and uplifting. The oil is extracted from the rind of the grapefruit and contains a variety of compounds, such as limonene.

Rosemary essential oil is a popular choice for aromatherapy and has many therapeutic benefits, such as reducing stress, improving memory, and boosting the immune system; it can also be used topically to help soothe skin irritations and muscle aches.

What are some popular ingredients for massage oils?

Enjoy a massage with ginger oil and your favorite carrier oil. The effects of ginger promote circulation and can help reduce inflammation and pain. Ginger oil is known for its warming properties, which can help to relax the muscles and provide relief from tension. It also has a pleasant aroma that can help create a calming atmosphere.
