Cranberry Vanilla Shea Butter Soap
Are you planning to give any DIY gifts this year? If so, try this Cranberry Vanilla Shea Butter Soap, an easy homemade soap recipe perfect for gift giving!
It has a bit of a holiday feel with the inclusion of dried cranberries. I added some vanilla soap fragrance to give it a soft, pretty scent. The dried cranberries will make the soap last longer than if you used fresh.

Stacie, you always make such beautiful soaps! I have to make my own one day. May I ask, what do you do with all these soap bars?! You don’t keep them all, do you?
I wouldn’t even have enough friends to give all of those soaps away as gifts 😀 Looking forward to your next post!

I never knew it could be that easy to make these wonderful soap bars. I’m always scared, thinking you have to do something with a candy thermometer, etc. This sounds easy! Definitely pinning to try. 🙂

Wow!! This scent would be heavenly.
I will try this one. Thanks for posting.
It’s important to note that when using a vanilla fragrance oil that your soap will turn brown unless you use a vanilla stabilizer.
Thanks for the detailed instructions to make these pretty soup
I have never made my own soap, but the Cranberry Vanilla combination sounds just good enough to make me try!
Would be nice to make this to give as gifts for the holidays. I really need to get some soap making supplies.
