Materials Needed:
Fields Landing Soap Factory -
- Creamy Coconut Soap base: 12 ounces
- Lavender & Victorian Rose fragrance oils: 5 drops Lavender oil and 15 drops Victorian Rose oil.
- Red & Blue Colorant: 5 drops Red and 2 drops Blue.
- Standard Bar Soap Shapes Mold, #71120
1 Teaspoon each of finely chopped dried Lavender buds, dried Rose petals and wheat bran.
1 Tablespoon finely ground almonds
2 cup Pyrex measuring cup.
Metal Spoon
Microwave or double boiler.
Directions:
| 1. |
Slice soap into thin 1/8" strips for quick, easy melting. |
| 2. |
Place sliced soap into the Pyrex measuring cup and microwave for approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute on high. The melting time will vary depending on the amount of soap. Remove and stir lightly. Continue to microwave at 15-second intervals until completely melted. |
| 3. |
Mix in the dried lavender buds, rose petals, wheat bran and the ground almonds. |
| 4. |
Add a few drops of fragrance oil until desired level of fragrance is achieved. |
| 5. |
Mix the soap as it cools until it becomes jelly-like. This helps to distribute the botanicals evenly throughout the soap, rather than sinking to the bottom of the mold. |
| 6. |
Pour the soap into the mold. Let the soap cool and harden completely before removing from the mold. The soap will pop out easily when completely set. For a fast set, allow the soap to cool for 1 minute then cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until cooled. |
