Instructions:

  • Weigh and cut the soap into small cubes. Pop the soap into the microwave wave to melt, using short 30 second blasts.
    350 g White Melt & Pour Soap Base
    Weigh and cut the soap into small cubes.
  • Once the soap has melted, stir in the fragrance/essential oil.
    7 g Essential Oil or Fragrance Oil
    Once the soap has melted, stir in the fragrance/essential oil.
  • Now we can add our mica to the soap. I usually add around a ¼ of a teaspoon, but that's personal preference. Liquid soap coloring is usually very concentrated, so add a few drops at a time. The important thing when adding any coloring is to make sure that it's been well disbursed within the soap.
    Mica Powders
    Now we can add our mica and to the soap.
  • The soap is now ready to be poured into the mold. If the soap has become too thick and has started to harden, pop it back into the microwave wave to re melt. Give the soap a quick spray with rubbing alcohol to disburse any bubbles if need be.
    Rubbing Alcohol
    The soap is now ready to be poured into the mold.
  • Leave the soap for a couple of hours to harden before removing it from the mold.
