Watermelon Sugar Soap Project
These bars are created by layering melt and pour soap into the 6 Cavity Heart Silicone Mold. They're scented with Watermelon Sugar Fragrance Oil, which is a sweet and nostalgic scent, reminiscent of watermelon bubblegum.
What You Need:
Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- SFIC Aloe Vera Melt And Pour Soap Base - 1 lb
- SFIC White Melt And Pour Soap Base - 1 lb
- Magenta Color Block - 1 Block
- Kermit Green Color Block - 1 Block
- Poppy Seeds - 3 oz
- Watermelon Sugar Fragrance Oil - Trial Size
EQUIPMENT:
- 6 Cavity Heart Silicone Mold - 1 Mold
Instructions
You will need:
- 6 Cavity Silicone Heart Mold
- 4 oz. White Melt and Pour Soap
- 18 oz. Aloe Vera Melt and Pour Soap
- 0.5 oz. Watermelon Sugar Fragrance Oil
- Magenta Color Block
- Kermit Green Color Block
- 99% Isopropyl Alcohol
Follow these steps:
1
Chop 18 ounces of Aloe Vera Melt and Pour Soap Base into small uniform cubes. Chop 4 ounces of Clear Melt and Pour Soap Base into small uniform cubes.
2
Split off 10 ounces of Aloe Vera Soap Base and place into a heat-safe container. Add a chunk of Magenta Color Block and melt in the microwave using 30 second bursts. Once melted, add 0.3 ounces of Watermelon Sugar Fragrance Oil and 1-2 teaspoons of poppy seeds and stir in thoroughly.
3
Allow the pink soap to cool slightly. Once it's about 120 degrees F, pour soap into each mold cavity about 3/4 of the way full. Spritz with alcohol to get rid of bubbles. Set aside and wait to cool - about 10-15 minutes.
4
Check the soap in the mold - it needs to have cooled and hardened enough to support the layer on top. Once it's ready, Place the 4 ounces of white soap into a heat-safe container. Melt using 15-20 second bursts. Spritz the soap in the mold with alcohol and then pour a thin layer of white soap, just enough to fully cover the pink layer below. Allow to cool and harden - about 5-10 minutes.
5
Place the remaining 8 ounces of aloe vera soap into a heat-safe container and add a chunk of Kermit Green Color Block. Melt using 15-20 second bursts. Stir in 0.2 ounces fo Watermelon Sugar Fragrance Oil.
6
Once the white soap in the mold is firm enough to support the next layer and the melted green soap is below 130 degrees F, spritz the soap in the mold with 99% isopropyl alcohol and pour the soap into each cavity. Spritz again with 99% isopropyl alcohol to get rid of bubbles.
7
Allow the soap to fully cool and harden for about 2-3 hours, up to overnight. Release the soap from the mold. Wrap the bars in plastic wrap to help prevent glycerin dew. The soap is ready to use right away - enjoy!
