Raw Honeycomb Whipped Soap DIY – Lovely Honey Whipped Soap

I’m excited to share this wonderful and luxurious Raw Honeycomb nature-inspired whipped soap DIY. This soap has a beautiful aroma of sweet raw honey, a perfect scent for year-round whipped soap projects. I’ve used this Raw Honeycomb fragrance oil before in cold process soap, and its aroma takes you back to nature. I like this scent so much, it’s a lovely nature-inspired aroma perfect for the end of summer and early autumn.

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

This past several weeks, I have been so inspired by nature and wanting so much to spend some time camping, at the park, or simply outdoors. I was inspired by the lovely scent and the season. This Raw Honeycomb scent is just perfect, a lovely aroma of raw honey that just takes you to the farmers’ market with its lovely scent.

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 nature-inspired, Raw Honeycomb 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 Raw Honeycomb whipped soap is a great hostess gift to make for friends and family any time of the year.

Raw Honeycomb Whipped Soap DIY

I like making the two-color style whipped soaps. I think it gives the soaps a lovely aesthetic, and it’s fun to pipe. For this lovely whipped soap, I decided to use a soft beige and pewter silver color mica to give deep natural colors to this lovely whipped soap. 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 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 jojoba oil, which is yet another one of my favorite oils and is great for skincare products.

Benefits of Shea Butter in Skin Care Products

Jojoba Oil in Skincare Products

Jojoba oil is a powerhouse ingredient in skincare because it closely mimics the skin’s natural sebum, making it highly compatible and easily absorbed without leaving a greasy feel. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, as well as essential fatty acids, it deeply nourishes, hydrates, and helps restore the skin’s natural barrier. Research suggests that its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties can make it effective for soothing irritation and supporting overall skin balance. Gentle yet powerful, jojoba oil works for all skin types, promoting soft, supple, and healthy-looking skin.

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.

Raw Honeycomb Whipped Soap DIY Ingredients and Materials

• 4 oz foaming bath butter
• 1.0 oz Jojoba Oil
• 1/2 tsp Vitamin E Oil
• 1.0 oz Shea Butter
• 0.5 ml Raw Honeycomb Fragrance oil (from Brambleberry)

How to make Raw Honeycomb 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.

Add the Jojoba oil, Vitamin E oil, and fragrance oil if you plan to use it, and mix well for one to two minutes.

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 and Jojoba oil.

Mix well using a hand mixer or stand mixer 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 MCT 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 Raw Honeycomb whipped soap

Separate the whipped soap mix into two separate containers.

To one container, add the soft beige mica and mix well.

To the second container, add the pewter silver mica and mix well.

Place the whipped soap side by side in cling wrap.

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.
