Created from a mix of dried ground mint leaves, lye, lemon essential oil, canola oil, coconut oil, dried ground basil, olive oil and basil essential oil, the herb-filled soap is a great way to keep your hands clean this summer. As part of a clean living series, the DIY project incorporates only [natural ingredients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-liquid-hand-soap). One of the best parts of this project is while you can create classic soap bars, as shown, you can buy just about [any mould and create whichever shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bath-body-works-shapeable-soap) you like for your kitchen or bathroom. The time it takes for this soap to dry, however, is about four weeks, so it's best to get started now if you want it for this summer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **DIY Natural Products:** Opportunity to create natural soap bar and other products from natural ingredients. - **Herbal Infused Products:** Opportunity to create products infused with herbs for added benefits. - **Customized Soap Molds:** Opportunity to create customized soap molds for personalized products. ### Where This Applies - **Personal Care Industry:** Innovation opportunities to create DIY natural personal care products. - **Herbal Supplement Industry:** Innovation opportunities to create herbal-infused products for added benefits. - **Manufacturing Industry:** Innovation opportunities to create customized molds for soap and other products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gardener-Targeted Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gardeners-soap-bar.md) - [Liquid Soap Concentrates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etee.md) - [Botanical Artisan Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisanmade-petite-floral-shaped-soap-collection.md) - [Summer-Themed Cleaning Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mrs-meyers-cleaning-products.md) - [Plant-Based Hydrating Hand Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrating-hand-soap.md) - [Fun Candy-Free Easter Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easter-soap.md) - [Playful Autumn Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autumn-soaps.md) - [Free-From Springtime Cleaning Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mrs-meyers-dewdrop.md) - [Charcoal-Infused Soap Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suds-cos-soap-bar.md)
