This autumn-inspired whipped soap DIY was a fun idea that I wanted to try and I am so glad I did. The scent is perfect for the season and the colors are just perfect for pumpkin spice season. I hope you try and enjoy this pumpkin and marshmallows whipped soap DIY. This whipped soap is great to make any time of the year but the inspiration for the colors and scent came from the lovely fall season and Thanksgiving approaching soon. I love the fun combination of orange and mocha colors and the soap dough pumpkin that I added on top. The wonderful aroma of the pumpkin and marshmallow fragrance oil reminds me of all the delicious and decadent desserts we make during the holiday season.

Making whipped soap is one of my favorite skincare DIYs to create. You can make so many variations by simply changing colors and scents and also make unique whipped soaps for every season. For this fall whipped soap DIY, you can use a whipped soap base or make your own. I have a DIY whipped soap base from scratch post that you can use to make your own base from scratch. Otherwise, I have a recommendation for one of my favorite store-bought whipped soap bases in the list of ingredients below. This pumpkin and marshmallows whipped soap is a great hostess gift to make for friends and family.
Autumn Themed Whipped Soap
The scent I selected for this autumn whipped soap is a comparable version to the vanilla pumpkin and marshmallows. It is a lovely scent with sweet and delicious notes that will make your home just like a lovely fall baking experience. This scent is perfect for other skin care projects such as body butter, creams, and lotions, it is just wonderful.
In this formulation, I’ve added refined shea butter. Shea butter is one of my favorite butters to use and I use it in a lot of my formulations whether cold process soap, body butter, and of course, whipped soap. I prefer unrefined shea butter but some of you have asked for other options since you may not like the natural scent. The refined shea butter retains the properties but removes the scent and color and it is still a great option to use. You can also replace the shea butter with kokum butter or mango butter. Shea butter is highly moisturizing and some studies show that it can also soothe skin problems and is high in antioxidants which can have anti-aging properties.

How to make pumpkin and marshmallows whipped soap
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 the 1 ounce of shea butter and melt in the microwave, then add to the mixing container with the whipped soap base.
Use the hand mixer and mix for a minute or two to mix the shea butter and base.
Add the sunflower oil, Vitamin E oil, and the fragrance oil if you plan to use it, and mix well for another 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 absolutely 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 sunflower oil are jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, rice bran 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.
Separate the whipped soap into two equal parts and add the mica colorants.
How to color the pumpkin and marshmallows whipped soap
Add the mica colorants to a small amount, about one teaspoon of the sunflower oil, then combine using a spatula.
Add the mica mix to the whipped soap and mix well 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, per the earlier picture. 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.
