Project Description

These bars are made by adding walnut shells to oatmeal soap base. They smell like vacation thanks to Coconut Paradise Fragrance Oil.

These Sand Dollar Soaps are easy to make and smell amazing. Coconut Paradise is the perfect toasty fragrance oil, and the Sand Dollar Mold creates a cute beachy shape.

The Oatmeal Melt and Pour Base has a creamy color, suitable for a sand dollar. A touch of walnut shells add light exfoliation to one side of each bar.

Sand Dollar Soap Project

  • Skill Level: Beginner
  • Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 soaps

These Sand Dollar Soaps are easy to make and smell amazing. Coconut Paradise is the perfect toasty fragrance oil, and the Sand Dollar Mold creates a cute beachy shape.

The Oatmeal Melt and Pour Base has a creamy color, suitable for a sand dollar. A touch of walnut shells add light exfoliation to one side of each bar.

You will need:

  • 4 Cavity Silicone Sand Dollar Mold
  • 12 oz. Oatmeal Melt and Pour Soap Base
  • 0.3 oz. Coconut Paradise Fragrance Oil
  • 2 tsp. Walnut Shells
  • 99% Isopropyl Alcohol in a Spray Bottle

Follow these steps:

1

Chop 12 ounces of Oatmeal Melt and Pour Soap Base into small, uniform cubes. Place them in a heat-safe container and melt in the microwave using 30 second bursts. 

2

Add 0.3 ounces of Coconut Paradise Fragrance Oil. Mix until it's fully incorporated. 

3

Pour the soap into each cavity of the mold until they're about 75% full. Save a small amount to top off each one. Allow the soap in the mold to cool and harden slightly - about 10-15 minutes. It needs to be firm enough to support the layer on top. 

4

Reheat the remaining soap using 5-10 second bursts. Once melted, add 2 teaspoons of walnut shells. Spritz the soap in the mold with 99% isopropyl alcohol and pour the remaining melted soap into each cavity. After each pour, spray with 99% isopropyl alcohol to get rid of bubbles.

5

Allow the soap to fully cool and harden for about 3-4 hours. Remove from the mold and enjoy!
