Cost: $10 - 16$ / 9€ - 13€
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 kg melt and pour white soap base
- 3 tsp distilled water
- 8 ml rosehip seed oil
- 8 ml sunflower oil
- 1 tsp yellow iron oxide (CI 77492) yellow mica
- 1 tsp poppy seeds (can be chia as well)
- 7,5 ml essential oils blend
Essential Oil Blend
- 1 tsp essential oil lemongrass
- 1 tsp essential oil sweet orange
- 1 tsp essential oil rosemary
Instructions
- Measure all ingredients first: the oils, the essential oils, the seeds, water and the colorant
- Mix the colorant with the water
- Cut the melt and pour soap base into small cubes (2 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm) into your bowl or pan, adding a little bit of water (not from the 3 spoons)
- Take it to an electric stove and set the heat to medium. Let the soap base melt completely. Spray with alcohol if you have a solid layer at the surface.
- Turn off the heat. Add the water with colorant and the oils and mix well.
- Add the essential oils and the chia seeds, when the soap is at its lowest temperature, and mix well. If the soap base hardens, heat it a little more.
- Pour the soap into the soap molds. Sprinkle the soap surface with alcohol to prevent bubbles and to clear the thin solid layer covering the soap surface
- Let it harden for around 1-3 hours. When fully solid, unmold the soap and cover it in thin plastic film. It's ready to store and sure!!
