Ingredients
- *1-pound of unscented clear melt & pour suspension soap
- Ground lemon peel
- Ground walnut shell powder
- 3 teaspoons *Polysorbate 80
- Blue mica colorant
- **Floral scented oil
Equipment Needed:
- Silicone mold
- Spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 heat resistant measuring cup
Instructions
Heat the clear soap in the measuring cup in 30 second bursts. Stir in between each.
Continue until completely melted.
Add 1 teaspoon of the Polysorbate 80, 2-3 drops of the scented oil and ½ teaspoon of the blue mica colorant to the measuring cup.
Stir until fully incorporated.
Spray each cavity of the mold with the rubbing alcohol.
Add 1-2 teaspoons of the ground lemon peel and ground walnut shell powder to each cavity.
Add the soap mixture to each cavity of the mold, leaving about ¼” free at the top.
Add ½ teaspoon of the lemon peel and walnut powder to the top of the soap mixture in each cavity.
Spray the soap with the alcohol and allow the soaps to harden completely (at least an hour).
Gently pop the soaps from the mold and enjoy!
Tips:
- *You can substitute regular melt & pour soap. The glitter will just settle to the bottom of the mold instead of floating in the layers.
- **If using on children, please check a trusted source for the safe amount to use.
- The use of the rubbing alcohol in between layers is to help them stick together. Spraying the alcohol on the top layer is to prevent bubbles from forming.
- You can melt the soap in all 3 measuring cups in one “assembly” line or you can do each one before each layer. If you do all 3 ahead of time, you may need to re-heat the soaps as they will have begun to harden before you get to the following layers.
