This pumpkin spice latte soap is perfect for fall! The is super easy to make, it smells AH-MAZING, and the coffee grounds provide a little exfoliant. It’s perfect for your Thanksgiving guests, a hostess gift, teacher or neighbor present, and of course to use in every bathroom in your home. It’s all natural and does not contain lye. Let’s make the DIY…

I don’t know about you, but this time of year, I’m a pumpkin spice-aholic! I could seriously be 24/7 pumpkin spice… anything! I’ve been wanting to make a pumpkin spice latte soap, and when Hubby announced he’s out of soap, I knew it was time to get out the DIY supplies. Mr. Green Beret Hubby loves my homemade soaps. He actually prefers them to store-bought.

The directions look lengthy, but I spelled it out so you can follow the directions easy peezy pumpkin breezy.

The ratio is three squares of soap base per one bar of this size (3x2x1). So for example, if you want to make three bars of soap, you will want to cut out 9 squares.

The ratio is 10 drops of Essential Oil per one bar of soap. Use fewer (but not more) to your scent preference. The recommended ratio is one drop each of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg and 7 drops of orange.


  1.  Cut out the desired amount of soap base squares.
  2. At half power, heat the soap in a large glass container or glass measuring cup at 30-second intervals. Depending on your microwave, this should take a total of 2 minutes give or take.
  3. Let cool for one minute.
  4. Stir and add the pumpkin spice, coffee grounds, and essential oils.
  5. Ideally, you will want to pour the soap mixture through a funnel into the soap molds. It helps to minimize the bubbles. But if you don’t have one and don’t mind a few bubbles, it’s optional.
  6. Pour almost to the top of the soap molds.
  7. Let sit for four hours at room temperature.
  8. Gently remove from the silicone molds.

That’s it! I broke it down into detailed steps, but honestly, it only takes like 5 minutes to make. SIMPLE! And there is no right or wrong amounts of ingredients. Use a little more or less as it works for you. Be sure to heat only the soap in the microwave, you only want to add the essential oils after it cools for a minute.
