Turmeric Melt and Pour Soap Project
The recipe is made with Goat Milk Melt and Pour Soap Base, which produces a gentle and creamy lather. Turmeric powder gives the soap a lovely orange color that's complemented by the Orange 10X Essential Oil.
What You Need:
12 Bar Rectangle Silicone Mold - 1 Mold
SFIC Goat Milk Melt And Pour Soap Base - 1 lb
Turmeric Powder - 3 oz
Orange 10X Essential Oil - 1.5 oz
99% Isopropyl Alcohol - 1 bottle (16 oz by volume)
Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- SFIC Goat Milk Melt And Pour Soap Base - 1 lb
- Turmeric Powder - 3 oz
- Orange 10X Essential Oil - 1.5 oz
EQUIPMENT:
- 12 Bar Rectangle Silicone Mold - 1 Mold
- 99% Isopropyl Alcohol - 1 bottle (16 oz by volume)
Instructions
You will need:
- 12 Cavity Rectangle Silicone Mold
- 60 oz. Goat Milk Melt and Pour Soap Base
- 2 tsp. Turmeric Powder
- 0.8 oz. Orange 10X Essential Oil
- 2 Tbsp. 99% Isopropyl Alcohol in Spray Bottle
Follow these steps:
1
Chop 60 ounces of Goat Milk Melt and Pour Soap Base into small, uniform cubes. Place the soap into a large heat-safe container and melt in the microwave using 60 second bursts. Because it’s such a large amount of soap, it will take a few minutes to melt.
2
While the soap is in the microwave, mix 2 teaspoons of turmeric powder with 2 tablespoons of 99% isopropyl alcohol. Doing so helps the turmeric more easily mix into the melted soap without chunks.
3
In a glass container, measure 0.8 ounces of Orange 10X Essential Oil.
4
Once the soap is melted, add all the dispersed turmeric powder and the Orange 10X Essential Oil. Use a spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
5
Pour the soap into each cavity of the mold. After each pour, spray the top of the bars with 99% isopropyl alcohol to help get rid of bubbles. Allow the soap to fully cool and harden. Remove from the mold and enjoy! Wrap the soap in plastic wrap after unmolding to prevent glycerin dew.
