DIY Rosebud Detox Soap: Perfect for Gifting

The recipe starts with ultra-moisturizing shea butter as a base, and includes allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon, which not only give this beauty bar its signature scent, but also add antimicrobial properties and help draw out impurities. Vanilla essential oil complements all the spice with a hint of sweetness, and rosebuds act as a mild exfoliant that look and feel luxurious.
