Castile Soap:

7 oz. Castile soap, grated
1 tablespoon lanolin
1 tablespoon jojoba oil
1 tablespoon pumice (optional)
1 tablespoon crushed lavender, rosemary, peppermint, etc. (optional)
12-15 drops of essential oil or fragrance oil (optional)

Melt grated soap with lanolin and oil in microwave or in double boiler on the stove-top, stirring occasionally. Mixture should be soft, like oatmeal. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients. Let soap mixture cool while placing waxed paper on counter-top to put finished balls on. Oil hands so the soap doesn�t stick to them, and form into three equal sized balls. Place balls on waxed paper to finish cooling. When hardened, they are ready for use. You may also roll balls in some of the herbs for a great look to a nice gift.
