Making soaps is a great way to create value added products from your herb garden. You can add color, texture, and even scents to your homemade soaps-right from your garden!

The drawback to this, is that most herbs change color during soap making process. Unfortunately, this color change means brown or black-both of which looks just awful in your finished bar of soap. The way around this is to add herbs that are known to keep their color, powder your herbs and add at the end, or simply top a soap log or bar before it sets, with your complimentary herbs.

 

Despite the problems that you can have, here are 5 must have herbs that I always use in my homemade goat milk soaps with great results.
