| Step 1: Collect all of your ingredients and material. You will need 2lb of Goats Milk Melt and Pour soap, a Goats Milk Tray mold with 8 cavities (4oz each), one Tea bag and 20ml of Eucalyptus essential oil (2% fragrance or essential oil). You will also need a cutting bored, knife and a bowl for melting and mixing ingredients.
|
| Step 2: Cut your soap into small cubes and put into a glass bowl. It is best to cut cubes as small as possible so that all soap melts evenly.
|
| Step 3: Melt soap in a microwave for 3 min and then take out. With a spoon mix the melted soap in the bowl and look for chunks. If there is still unmelted soap put it back in the microwave until the soap is completely melted.
|
| Step 4: Now that the soap is completely melted you can add your ingredients. For this bar of soap we are not colouring it because we are using our tea as a natural colouant.
|
| Step 5: When steeping the tea bag you want to act quickly so that the soap does not harden. Before adding your essential oil you may want to put your soap back into the microwave so that the oil mixes evenly. When steeping your tea bag you will want to press the tea bag between your spoon and the bowl to get the colouring and scent out of the bag.
|
| Step 6: When you have your desired colour you can add your essential oil. You will want to add a maximum 2% dilution of fragrance or essential oil. In this case we will be adding 20ml of Eucalyptus essential oil. After adding the essential oil mix well. Do not worry about the strong scent. The vapors when heated will smell stronger then when it cools down.
|
 | Step 7: After all of the ingredients is mixed you can then poor the soap into your mold. You may want to pour one cavity at a time.
|
 | Step 8: Now that you have poured your soap into the mold you may see small bubbles on the top of the soap. To get rid of the bubbles you may want to spray some rubbing alcohol to get rid of the bubbles. For this step you have to spray it before it starts to harden or the bubbles will not go away.
|
 | Step 9: To speed up the cooling process you can put your soap in the freezer of the fridge. It takes between half and hour to an hour for the soap to cool down. When it is cool to the touch you can take the soap out of the mold. To do this you simply turn it upside down and gently put pressure on the sides to open the seal. If this isn't working just put it back in the fridge till it is colder.
