How to Use

Melt the soap in the microwave in short blasts or in a double boiler. It is important to only heat until the working temperature. Taking the temperature too high can result in the soap scorching and therefore changing the consistency (it will become rubbery and solidify quickly).

When sufficiently melted add in your colour and fragrance.

Pour into molds and wait until solid. For best results and removal from mold wait several hours.

Wrap as soon as possible as the soap contains water it can evaporate and shrink the bar (shrink wrap or cling film will work). Also, in warmer climates the glycerine in the soap will attract moisture and can leave "sweat beads" on your soap.
