Whether you want custom gifts, market-ready products, or just a fun 420 craft project, this recipe delivers impressive results with minimal effort.

What Is Weed Infused Soap?

Weed infused soap is a handmade soap that incorporates cannabis-infused coconut oil into a melt and pour soap base. The infused oil adds potential skin benefits — cannabis topicals are known for their hydrating and soothing properties. Combined with essential oils and exfoliants, you get a luxurious bar that looks great and feels even better.

5 Easy Steps to Make Weed Infused Soap

Step 1: Prepare Your Soap Base

Cut roughly one pound (454 grams) of transparent soap base into small cubes. Transparent base produces vibrant colors, while white base creates more pastel tones. Place the cubes in a double boiler or microwave-safe container and heat until fully liquefied, stirring occasionally.

Step 2: Add Your Infused Oil

Once the soap base is melted, add one tablespoon of cannabis-infused coconut oil. This is what makes your weed infused soap special — the infused oil provides extra hydration and potential skin-repairing benefits. Stir thoroughly to combine.

Step 3: Mix In Color and Scent

Add 1-2 teaspoons of skin-safe mica powder for color and half to two teaspoons of your preferred essential oil. In this video, Fordee uses peppermint oil for a refreshing mint scent. You can substitute tea tree oil for mosquito-repelling properties or lavender for a calming effect.

Step 4: Add Exfoliants (Optional)

For extra exfoliation, add one tablespoon of tincture sludge or coffee grounds, plus 1-2 tablespoons of oats. Pro tip from the video: add exfoliants after pouring most of the soap to distribute them evenly. Otherwise, they sink to the bottom of the mold.

Step 5: Pour and Demold

Pour the mixture into silicone molds. Use a torch to remove surface bubbles for a professional finish. Wait 24 hours before demolding. The finished weed infused soap bars should be firm, colorful, and ready to use or gift.

3 Tips for Better Cannabis Soap

• Add exfoliants last — pour into molds first, then sprinkle oats or grounds on top so they distribute evenly instead of sinking
• Use more essential oil — Fordee recommends adding a bit extra for a stronger scent that lasts through multiple uses
• Get creative with add-ins — dried flowers, dried lemon slices, or herbs make beautiful and fragrant additions to your weed infused soap
