What Is Elderberry? 

The Elderberry is a fruit that comes from the Elder plant. The Elderberry is well known as one of the worlds most healing plants. Elderberries are full of antioxidants and vitamins. They can help reduce inflammation and stress. 

Elderberries are particularly good for helping headaches, joint and muscle pain and calming minor skin conditions. 

Adding Elderberries to your soap can have a positive effect on your skin and joints. 

Vegan Soap Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound clear melt and pour soap, cut into cubes 
  • 1 tablespoon shea butter 
  • 1-2 drops of raspberry oil 
  • 10-20 drops lemon essential oil 
  • 10-20 drops rosemary essential oil 
  • 1-2 drops vegan purple soap colorant 
  • 2 tablespoon dried elderberries 
  • Rectangle silicone mold

Dried Elderberry Vegan Soap Recipe

Steps 1-2:  Add clear soap to your measuring cup. Melt the soap in the microwave at 30 second bursts twice. Add shea butter and continue to melt in the microwave in 30 second bursts to until they are completely melted.

Steps 3-5: Add essential oils, raspberry oil, and If desired, add soap colorant to measuring cup. Whisk together. If you want a darker color, add another drop or two of the color.

Step 6: Whisk in dried elderberries.

Steps 7-9: Spray your soap mold with the rubbing alcohol. This prevents bubbles from forming.  Pour the soap mixture into the mold.

Stir the mixture in the measuring cup each time you pour, or they will clump at the bottom. Spray top of mixture with rubbing alcohol to prevent bubbles.
