Carrots are often associated with vitamin A and bright, healthy-looking skin, which makes them a popular ingredient in homemade beauty recipes.

Whether you are making soap for yourself, creating handmade gifts, or experimenting with vegetable-based soap recipes, this homemade carrot soap is a simple and charming project to try.
Purée the carrots in a blender then add enough water to make it up to 9 ounces (250 g) of liquid.
Melt the liquid together with the Melt and Pour Soap base and the benzoin and dye and pour into molds.
