Follow cold-process soap safety. Mix the lye water solution and set aside. Mix oils and heat to 110-120 degrees F. Add in lye solution and mix with stick blender. As mixture thickens, add seeds and scent at trace. Pour into mold and allow to set and cure.

The gorgeous soap shown in this picture is done by
