Step One:
- Cut soap base into squares and place in the measuring cup
- For regular 4 oz. soap molds you can use 1 lb. at a time, which makes about 5 soaps.
Step Two:
- Melt soap base in the glass measuring cup placed in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between microwaving.
- The soap takes about 2-3 minutes in intervals to melt.
- Make sure the soap base is completely melted. Stir carefully to check for lumps that need to be melted.
Step Three:
- Add your ingredients while stirring.
- 20 drops of essential oil (less for a lighter scent)
- Add a pinch or so of exfoliants such as oatmeal or dried orange peel as desired.
- Important: You will need to work fast! The soap will start to dry quickly! No dilly dallying!
