Using a microwave safe bowl, melt the squares of soap in 30 second increments. After each increment, give the soap a quick stir and repeat the step until the soap is completely melted.

If desired, add several drops of your favorite essential oil fragrance to the melted soap mixture. The soap smells clean and fresh on its own but I always love to add a little fragrance to the soaps I make. Stir the oils into the mixture until it is fully incorporated.

Pour the mixture into the soap molds. Give the molds a quick, sharp tap against the counter to release any tiny bubble build up.
