I’m so proud of how these Pink Himalayan Salt Soap Bars turned out! They’re so pretty that I almost don’t want to use them, I really enjoyed making these, but you do have to work quickly! Since I was also taking photos to share the recipe here on the blog, I had to work even faster, but It was definitely worth it!.

This recipe is super easy to make and offers plenty of great benefits for your skin.

Even if you’re not a crafty person like me, you’ll still enjoy making this, and there’s really no way to mess it up. If for some reason the mix hardens, you can always melt it again and start over.

This recipe DOESN’T use lye! Personally, I don’t like working with lye, which is why I prefer using soap bases where the saponification process is already done.

I also like to use all-natural products and avoid toxic soap bases, which is why I chose a shea butter soap base for this recipe. Shea butter is not only natural but also incredibly nourishing for the skin.

Here’s the step-by-step of how I made these soap bars in less than 30 minutes! I did have to let them harden, but they set really quickly. Still, I left them overnight before using them just to be sure.

Pink Himalayan Salt Soap Benefits

Instructions

1. Chop the Soap Base

Start by cutting your soap base into small squares. I cut mine into 1-inch cubes (about 10 pieces), which was just enough for making 3 bars.

2. Melt It Down

Toss the cubes into a microwave-safe container and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Give it a stir. Repeat another 30 seconds. Stir again. Then go for 10-second intervals, stirring each time, until your soap base is fully melted.

3. Mix in the Fine Salt

Once melted, stir in the fine salt. You want to move quickly but make sure it’s mixed evenly. The texture will get a bit chunky, but that’s totally normal.

4. Pour Into Molds and Add the Coarse Salt

Pour the mixture into your soap mold right away. While the soap is still hot and a little liquid, sprinkle the coarse Pink Himalayan salt on top. Press gently to make sure the salt sticks. If the soap has already started to harden, the salt won’t stay (been there, done that). You have to work quickly because it hardens very fast.

I don’t mind the coarse salt since it’s only on one side of the soap bar and is mainly for decorative purposes, but you can skip it if you prefer.

5. Let it Sit

Let your soap bars sit for about 4 hours to fully harden before using them.

Optional

I kept this Pink Himalayan Salt Soap Bar batch simple and skipped the essential oils, but feel free to add a few drops of your favorite scent to the melted soap base. Vanilla, coconut, eucalyptus, or even a citrus oil would pair well with the salt.

You can make these Himalayan soap bars even prettier by adding dried rose petals.

Perfect Gifts

These Pink Himalayan salt soap bars are also a perfect DIY gift! I added them to some cute bags and plan on giving them to my family.

How to Use Your DIY Exfoliating Pink Himalayan Salt Soap Bar

  1. Lather up: Rub the soap bar gently between your hands or directly onto your skin to create a lather.
  2. Exfoliate: Use the bar in a circular motion on your skin to gently exfoliate, focusing on rough areas like elbows, knees, and feet.
  3. Rinse off: After scrubbing, rinse your skin thoroughly with warm water.

Enjoy your smooth, glowing skin! 😊
