What You Need:
Instructions
You will need:
- 6 Cavity Heart Silicone Mold
- 16 oz. Beginner Quick Mix
- 2.28 oz. Sodium Hydroxide Lye
- 4.5 oz. Distilled Water
- 2 oz Sun Kissed Peach Fragrance Oil
- Desert Rose Mica
FRAGRANCE PREP: Measure .9 ounce of Sun Kissed Peach Fragrance Oil into a glass container and set aside.
COLORANT PREP: Mix 1 teaspoon of Desert Rose Mica with 1 tablespoon of Quick Mix. Use a mini mixer to combine the colorants with the oil and get rid of clumps. Set aside.
SAFETY FIRST: Suit up for safe handling practices. That means goggles, gloves, and long sleeves. Make sure kids, pets, other distractions, and tripping hazards are out of the house or don’t have access to your space. Always make soap in a well-ventilated area.
Follow these steps:
1
Slowly and carefully add 2.28 ounces of lye to 4.5 ounces of distilled water and gently stir until the lye has fully dissolved and the liquid is clear. Set aside to cool.
2
Microwave the bag of Beginner Quick Mix until it’s completely clear. Shake to mix up all the oils. Measure 16 ounces into your soaping bowl. Once the lye water and the oils have cooled to 130° F or below (and are ideally within 10 degrees of each other), add the lye water to the oils and stick blend the mixture to a thin trace. Set this container aside for step 5.
3
Split the soap equally into two new containers. To one container, add your dispersed mica. Use a whisk to thoroughly combine the mica. Leave the other container uncolored.
4
Add half of the fragrance oil to each container - it's okay to eyeball it. Whisk in thoroughly. If your soap is still extremely thin, very quickly pulse with the stick blender to ensure full emulsification.
5
Pour about 1/4 of the white soap into your original soaping bowl, allowing the soap to run down the inside of the container. Then pour about 1/4 of the peach soap down the inside of the container, on top of the white. Continue alternating pouring the two colors into the bowl - the colors will begin to create "stripe" layers in the bowl.
6
Pour the soap into each cavity of the 6 Cavity Silicone Heart Mold. Tap the mold on the counter to help the soap settle. Spritz with 99% isopropyl alcohol to prevent soda ash. Place the mold on top of a heating pad set to medium heat for 1-2 hours. If you live in a cold climate, cover and insulate with a small box.
7
Allow the soap to harden in the mold for 1-2 days. Release from the mold and allow to cure for 4-6 weeks. Enjoy!
