Wildflower Rebatch Soap Project
Rebatch soap feels amazing on the skin and you don’t have to work with lye. Just heat the base, customize it with your favorite additives, and spoon into a mold. What’s not to love?
This project is made with Luxury Rebatch Soap, which is a blend of skin-loving ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, and mango butter. It's scented with fresh Wildflower Breeze Fragrance Oil and topped with cornflower petals, pink rose petals, marigold, and jasmine flowers.
Note*: This project was originally made with Daisy Chain fragrance oil, which has since been discontinued.
What You Need:
Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- Wildflower Breeze Fragrance Oil - 2 oz
- Marigold - Calendula, Dried - 3 oz
- Jasmine Flowers - 3 oz
- Rebatch Soap Base - Luxury - 1 lb
- Pink Rose Petals - 3 oz
- Blue Cornflower Petals - 3 oz
EQUIPMENT:
- 10 inch Silicone Loaf Mold
Instructions
You will need:
- 10" Silicone Loaf Mold
- 45 oz. Luxury Rebatch Soap Base
- About 4-6 oz. Distilled Water
- 1.5 oz. Wildflower Breeze Fragrance Oil
- Cornflower Petals
- Pink Rose Petals
- Marigold Petals
- Jasmine Flowers
Follow these steps:
1
Measure 1.5 ounces of Wildflower Breeze Fragrance Oil into a glass container and set aside.
2
Place a large sauce pot on the stove and turn the heat onto medium low. You can also use a double boiler or a slow cooker.
3
Add about half of the Luxury Rebatch Soap into the pot - it's okay to eyeball it. Add about half of the distilled water and cover the pot.
4
Allow the soap to heat up and soften. While the soap is in the pot, stir every 2-5 minutes to prevent burning on the bottom. The chunks of soap will begin to soften. If the water has completely evaporated, add small amounts of water to the pot to aid in melting and prevent the soap from burning.
5
Add the remaining Luxury Rebatch Soap, and allow the soap to melt. Continue to stir as necessary.
6
Mix together a few tablespoons of pink rose petals, jasmine flowers, marigold petals, and cornflower petals. The exact amount of each petal you use is completely up to you.
7
Once all of the soap is smooth and looks like thick mashed potatoes, add all the Wildflower Breeze Fragrance Oil. Stir well.
8
Quickly transfer the soap into the mold. Tap the mold firmly on the counter to help settle the soap.
9
Using gloved hands, quickly press the flower mixture into the top of the soap. Press firmly to help the flowers stick.
10
Allow the soap to fully cool and harden in the mold for 24 hours. If the mold pulls away easily from the soap, it's ready to unmold. If not, let the soap harden for another day.
11
Cut into bars. The soap is ready to use right away, but letting it cure for 2 weeks creates harder bars that last longer in the shower. We recommend it for the best results. Enjoy!
