Product Review – Emerging Green Soap Making Kit

DIY Soap making kit by Emerging green

Soap making made easy with this soap making kit and mold
Making melt and pour soap is a quick and easy introduction to the craft, and it’s a great way to try soap
making because you don’t need a lot of supplies or time to try it out and see if you like it.
I wanted to make a larger than normal batch of soap for holiday gifting, so I was excited when Emerging
Green sent me their soap making kit and molds to sample.

The kit contains a wooden box with lid, a silicone mold that fits inside the box, and a bamboo and
stainless steel cutting tool with measurements on it so you can cut your soap to a consistent size.
The mold is 9.84 (L) x 2.36 (W) x 2.75 (H) inches, so it’s perfect for a good sized batch of soap that you
can easily make at home without a huge outlay in supplies.

I made a batch of pumpkin spice soap that almost filled the mold and used about a pound and a half of soap base. You of
course don’t have to fill the mold all the way to the top if you want to make smaller bars.

Once the soap is cooled and hardened, it’s easy to pop out of the mold.

The cutter requires a bit of assembly (you screw the bar into the base, then add the wire that actually
cuts the soap). I had a bit of trouble with the cutting but I think that’s because my soap was so dense
and the oats might have gotten in the way and I’m admittedly not very strong. But with a bit of patience
I was able to use it to cut the soap.

This kit would be a great gift along with some soap base and other basic soap making supplies for
someone new to soap making, or a good thing to add to your collection if you already enjoy making soap
and might like to make a slightly bigger batch than you are able to with individual molds.
The soap mold and cutter kit is available on Amazon.
Have you ever tried a soap mold or cutter like this? I’d love to hear about it!

This Apple Tart Soap is such a sweet little soap-making project, and I love how it turns a simple melt and pour soap base into something that looks almost good enough to eat. The idea of using clear glycerin soap with apple pie fragrance oil, cinnamon, and a whipped white soap topping gives this project a warm, cozy dessert-inspired feel without making it overly complicated.

What makes this project especially appealing is how beginner-friendly it is. Melt and pour soap is one of the easiest ways to get started with handmade soap, and this recipe keeps the ingredient list short while still creating a finished soap that feels fun and gift-worthy. The whipped topping detail is a clever touch because it instantly makes the soap look more like a tiny apple tart or bakery-style treat.

I also really like the packaging potential for this project. These soaps would look beautiful wrapped in clear cello, brown kraft paper, or a small handmade gift box. Adding dried apple rounds, a cinnamon stick, twine, or a rustic gift tag would make them perfect for fall gifts, teacher presents, craft stalls, Christmas hampers, or homemade bath and body gift baskets.

Because the soap uses cinnamon and fragrance oil, I would treat this as more of a novelty hand soap or decorative gift soap rather than something for very sensitive skin. As with all handmade bath and body projects, it is a good idea to use skin-safe fragrance oils and soap-safe colorants where possible.

Overall, this is a charming little melt and pour soap project with lots of handmade gift appeal. It is simple enough for beginners, pretty enough for gifting, and has that cozy apple pie scent that makes it especially lovely for autumn, holiday markets, and homemade Christmas gifts.
