Instructions:

Measure & Combine Phases A & B

  • Put on your face mask. Place the dry ingredients into a medium-sized bowl. Mix until fully combined.
    35 g SCI Powder, 24 g SLSA, 10 g Rice Starch, 5 g French Green Clay
    Our dry ingredients are measured into a glass mixing bowl
  • Place the wet ingredients, cocamidopropyl betaine, Jojoba oil, glycerin, preservative Eco, mint, and tea tree essential oil Into a separate beaker. Give it a quick stir to make sure they are fully combined. 
    1 g D-Panthenol Powder, 14 g Cocamidopropyl Betaine, 7 g Jojoba Oil, 2 g Glycerine, 1 g Preservative, 0.5 g Peppermint Essential Oil, 0.5 g Tea Tree Essential Oil
    Our liquid ingredients are measured into a beaker
  • Now we need to combine the dry and wet ingredients. So go ahead and pour the wet ingredients into the dry.

  • Start to bring the mix together with a flexible spatula, it should start to resemble a dry crumbly dough. Once the stickiness has gone I find the easiest way to fully combine it is to use your hands. So get stuck in and give the mixture a good squish around until it resembles something like soft play dough.

Pressing Into Mold

  • Once we have a dough-like soap mix, press it into the mold. This needs to be pressed down well so that it reaches all the corners and has no air bubbles.
    The mixture is packed into a silicon mold
  • For a nice smooth finish. Take a piece of waxed paper and lay this over the top of the shampoo bar, then gently rub it across with your hands. Then, pop the shampoo bar into the freezer for a couple of hours to harden.

Releasing From Mold

  • Once the bar has hardened enough to remove it, remove the bar from the mold. It may still be soft enough to place a finger through, so take care.

  • Set the bar aside to harden fully, this usually takes around 7 days.
