Lemon Rose Water Whipped Soap DIY

I’m excited to share this lovely and luxurious Lemon Rose Water spring and summer-inspired whipped soap DIY. This soap has a beautiful aroma of sweet lemonade and rose water, a perfect scent for both spring and summer. I’ve used this Lemon Rose Water fragrance oil before in other skin care and soap. The scent is really lovely. I still want to try this fragrance oil in cold process soaps, but it accelerates, so I will need a good plan to use it. The good thing about using it in whipped soap is that it does not accelerate, and you can take your time enjoying making this lovely Lemon Rose Water whipped soap.

I hope you enjoy this DIY and make it at home.

We are right in the swing of summer as I make this beautiful whipped soap. I was inspired by the lovely scent and the season. One thing I love about making whipped soap is that I can customize it with different colors and scents to create unique whipped soaps for every season. For this Lemon Rose Water summer soap DIY, you can use a whipped soap base as I am sharing on the ingredients list, or make your own. I have a DIY whipped soap base from scratch post that you can use to make your base from scratch. Otherwise, I recommend one of my favorite store-bought whipped soap bases, listed in the ingredients list below. This Lemon Rose Water whipped soap is a great hostess gift to make for friends and family any time of the year.

Lemon Rose Water Whipped Soap Perfect for Summer

I like making the two-color style whipped soaps because I want to represent the lemonade in yellow, and while not all roses are pink, I love the pink color mica I am using. It is a lovely soft pink color that can represent both the roses and a delicious pink lemonade. However, you can choose to use a single color and only color the borders as I did in the Vanilla Woods Whipped Soap DIY post or the Creme Brulee Whipped Soap DIY.

In this whipped soap DIY formulation, I’ve added shea butter and golden jojoba oil. I’ve used shea butter in several of my whipped soap formulations because it is great for the skin, one of my favorites to use for all my soaps. I use it all the time in my cold process soaps, whipped soaps, and body butters. It is great for skin care products. However, today I am using golden jojoba oil, which is one of my favorites and is great for skincare products.

Benefits of Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter in Skin Care Products

Golden jojoba oil is a versatile, nutrient-rich ingredient widely used in skincare for its ability to mimic the skin’s natural sebum. It’s lightweight, non-comedogenic, and packed with vitamins E and B-complex, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. It helps balance oil production, deeply moisturizes without clogging pores, and supports skin barrier repair. With its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, golden jojoba oil is said to soothe irritation and protect the skin from environmental stressors.

Benefits of Golden Jojoba Oil in Skincare:

• Balances natural oil production for both dry and oily skin types
• Deeply hydrates and locks in moisture without clogging pores
• Rich in vitamins E and B-complex for skin repair and nourishment
• Helps reduce inflammation, redness, and irritation
• Antioxidant protection shields skin from environmental damage

Shea Butter in Skincare Products:
Shea butter is a rich, creamy fat extracted from the nuts of the shea tree and is highly valued in skincare for its intensive moisturizing properties. Packed with vitamins A and E, it helps to soothe and moisturize dry skin. Research suggests it also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities, making it ideal for promoting skin regeneration and improving elasticity. Shea butter forms a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and shielding it from environmental stressors. It is used widely in skin care products.

You can also replace the shea butter with kokum butter, mango butter, or cocoa butter to make the formulation harder if it is too soft for you.

Lemon Rose Water Whipped Soap DIY Ingredients and Materials

• 4 oz foaming bath butter
• 1.0 oz Golden Jojoba Oil
• 1/2 tsp Vitamin E Oil
• 1.0 oz Shea Butter
• 0.5 ml Lemon Rose Water Fragrance oil (from Wholesale Supplies Plus)
• 1/8 tsp Pink Mica and Yellow Mica
• 0.5 oz Optiphen Plus preservative
• Hand mixer
• Mixing bowls
• 4 oz jars with lid

How to make Lemon Rose Water Whipped Soap Perfect for any Season

Separate 4 ounces from the whipped soap base container and place in a mixing bowl. Learn how to make whipped soap base from scratch in this post.

Weigh out 1.0 ounce of shea butter and melt it in the microwave.

Allow the shea butter to start cooling, and then add it to the mixing container with the whipped soap base.

Add the golden jojoba oil, Vitamin E oil, and fragrance oil if you plan to use it, and mix well for five to seven minutes.

Mixing for five to seven minutes will incorporate air into the mix and will create the light and fluffy consistency of the whipped soap. Be patient, it is worth it.

Other oils I have used for whipped soap that are also great for the skin and can be used as a replacement for the golden jojoba oil are rice bran oil, sweet almond oil, and grapeseed oil – all great for the skin with wonderful moisturizing properties. Rice bran oil is a wonderful replacement as it is also high in Vitamin E. I always keep these oil options on hand for my cold process soap formulations.

How to color the Summer Lemon Rose Water whipped soap

Separate the whipped soap into two equal parts. To one container, add the yellow color mica, and to the second container, add the pink color mica.

Mix the micas into the whipped soap thoroughly using a spatula.

To pipe the whipped soap into the jars and keep the colors separate, place the two colors of whipped soap side by side on a cling wrap, as shown below. Then insert the soap into a piping bag and pipe the whipped soap into the saving jars.

Use it as often as you want. This is just a great treat for the shower or bath. I keep it next to the sink to use for hand washing. I love how my hands feel when I use this whipped soap.
