Orange Creamsicle Soap
I can’t get enough of the smell of orange creamsicles! Vanilla + orange is one of the best scent combinations ever, in my humble opinion. I’ve been wanting to make a soap version for a while now and I finally got around to doing it. I was so happy with how it turned out.
Orange Creamsicle Soap
My base was goat’s milk melt and pour soap. I buy them at Michael’s and try to use a 40% or 50% off coupon when I go to save $$$. Using the melt and pour soap bases makes the job super simple and they always turn out beautifully.
To create the delicious creamsicle fragrance, I used vanilla soap fragrance and orange essential oil. I also added in some orange zest to give it a bit of colour.

This recipe makes four bars with a rectangular silicone soap mold. I prefer using the silicone molds over the plastic molds because removing them is 100 times easier.
Save some for yourself and give some away as gifts to friends. My friends think of me as the soap lady and always ask me if I have any bars for them to try when they come over for a visit.

Let me know if you have any specific soap scent combinations you think I should try. I’m always looking for suggestions!
