Travel Container Soap Recipe
Copyright 2013 - 2025 by Lisa Maliga
This travel-friendly soap comes in a convenient, easy-to-pack soap dish with a secure cover! Each container holds 2.3 ounces (68 ml) of soap and is available in both square and rectangular shapes.
Perfect for travelers, these soap containers eliminate the need for cling wrap, saving you time and hassle. For long-term storage, it's recommended to keep them in heavy-duty storage bags, especially if you plan to use them more than a year after making them.
For this recipe, I’m only using five molds. If using all 10 molds, make sure to adjust the recipe for that amount.
Ingredients:
12 ounces soap base
1 teaspoon cocoa butter [or shea butter]
3/4 teaspoon preferred fragrance or essential oil
In the video, I used orange essential oil.
Mold:
Five [5] 2.3-ounce round plastic molds
Instructions:
Slice up soap base into small cubes and melt. Stir well. Add cocoa butter and your preferred fragrance or essential oil. Pour into molds, but not right to the top, as you want to be able to easily close the lid. Spritz away any bubbles with rubbing alcohol. Allow soap to harden in fridge, freezer, or remain at room temperature. Store in a cool, dry location.
Variations:
It should be noted that this type of soap might show signs of sweatiness due to not being wrapped in cling wrap or shrink wrap. For optimum use, allow bar to dry completely before returning it to its case.
