How to Make (langkah-langkah)
Visual Guide
- First, prepare your Soap Base. Cut 60g of SoapLab’s Shea Butter Soap Base into little cubes, the smaller the cubes the faster it will melt.
- Place the cubes in a microwavable container. Place container in the microwave. Melt them at 20 seconds interval. Check during each intervals, this is to avoid your soap from getting burnt.
- Once soap base is melted, add in Neon Orange Mica that has been diluted with glycerin into the melted soap. Use a spatula to mix mica & soap.
- Pour 30g of soap into each mold to get a thin and malleable piece. Set aside to cool.
- Once hardened, remove soap from the mold like so.
- Use your hands, gently bend the soap sheets into semi circles. Be careful as the soap might break.
- Next, melt another 60g of SoapLab’s Shea Butter Soap Base into the microwave. Once melted, add in Orange & Clove Fragrance Oil.
- Pour the soap mixture into the mold, submerging the orange soap sheets. This should cover 1/3 of the soap curls. Leave aside to cool slightly.
- Next, melt SoapLab’s Transparent Soap Base in the microwave. Once soap base is ready and melted, add in Orang & Clove Fragrance Oil. Use a pipette for ease measuring & dispensing and mix using a spatula.
- Pour the mixture into the slightly cooled soap that is in the mold. This should fill the whole mold right till the brim.
- Just for fun, add in Cinnamon sticks randomly to the soap. You may add as much or as little as you want (:
