Yield: 16 ounces soap; 8 (2-ounce) bars
Cost: $24
Equipment
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Chef's knife
- 1 Double boiler or microwave
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Teaspoon
- 1 Fork or whisk
- 1 Small spray bottle optional
- 1 High-proof vodka or rubbing alcohol
- 1 Tray or baking sheet
Materials
- 1 pound goat milk melt and pour soap base
- ¼ teaspoon mica powder
- 25 drops rose geranium essential oil
- 10 drops balsam essential oil
- 10 drops lemon essential oil
Instructions
- Cut the soap base into small blocks and melt them in a double boiler over low heat. Stir occasionally until the material is completely liquid. Alternatively, heat in a microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in-between. Repeat as needed until the base melts entirely.
- Add essential oils, whisk thoroughly.
- Sprinkle mica powder evenly over the top surface, whisk again.
- Arrange the soap mold on a tray, then fill it with the liquid soap. Leave to harden for 30 minutes before moving, then set it out of the way (and out of direct sunlight) and leave for another 1.5 hours or overnight before removing it from the mold.
- Pop it out and cut into 2-inch bars. Use immediately and wrap remaining bars tightly with plastic wrap or eco-film.
Notes
The “shiraz” color option on the recommended mica product page I link to will match the color of soap you see here.
¼ teaspoon will dye the whole batch a dark pink. Make 4 pink and 4 white soap bars by separating half of the liquid base into a bowl while transferring the rest to a mold. Add ½ teaspoon mica to the bowl and mix in. Then mold and wait for it to harden.
