Preparations
- You can make crystal clear soap base at home. Prepare it 2 weeks in advance.
- Gather all ingredients and equipment. A heat source will be required: microwave or a stove. I personally use a small eletrical stove.
- Cut the soap bars into very small cubes (0,5 cm x 0,5 cm x 0,5 cm)
- Cut the melt and pour soap base into small cubes (2 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm). Pour them into your bowl or pan.1 kg crystal clear soap base
Making Soap
- Take it to an electric stove or the microwave and use medium-low heat (around
60 °C). Let the soap base melt completely. Spray with alcohol if bubbles or a solid pelicule form at the surface.
- Turn off the heat. Add the red colorant and mix well.20 ml rose fragrance oil
- Add the fragrance oil when the soap is at a lower temperature without hardening (around50 °C ), and mix well. Keep the soap around 50 °C from now on.1 tsp red iron oxide (CI 77491)
- Pour a small layer of soap into the large soap mold.
- Add the small soap cubes you cut at the beggining
- Pour the rest of the soap into the soap mold.
Unmolding and Cutting the Soap
- Let the soap set for 24 hours until it hardens completely. If needed, put the soap mold inside the fridge.
- Unmold your soap bulk bar and cut it into small soap bars.
- Melt and pour soap should be wrapped in plastic wrapping film right after hardening, to avoid soap "sweating". You may also keep them inside an airtight closed box.
- Enjoy your lovely red soaps!!
