| 1. |
Slice soap into thin 1/8" strips for quick, easy melting. |
| 2. |
Place sliced soap into your 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 honey and the oatmeal. |
| 4. |
Add drops of the honey fragrance until desired level of fragrance is achieved. |
| 5. |
Add the Orange and Black colorants for a very light amber coloring. |
| 6. |
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. |
| 7. |
Pour the soap into the small rectangular shaped mold. Let the soap cool and harden completely before removing from 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. |
