January 2010: Fragrance Oil Heaven's line of oils can now be found only here. These have been considered the "premium" fragrance oils of the industry since 2001 and you can expect superior results in your soap, candles & cosmetics.
Melt & Pour Soap.. Can anything be this easy???
YES! Creating your own soap is simple & super fun. It's even safe to make with children (under adult supervision).
STEP 1) Melt your soap base in microwave safe container, crock pot, or double boiler on low heat until just melted (do not overheat).
STEP 2) Add fragrance oil, essential oil & colorant (if desired). 1/4 oz fragrance oil per pound is a general rule of thumb for starting & you can adjust from there. If weighing ingredients & using percentages, 1-3% ratio is standard, but verify fragrance oil recommendations. Remember, it's easier to add more fragrance than to try and dilute if the scent is too strong. Have fun with this part by adding exfoliants, curls, soap chunks, body safe glitter, herbs, etc. The possibilities are unlimited!
STEP 3) Pour in mold & spray the tops with rubbing alcohol to get rid of excess bubbles. Now, the hard part... wait a few hours for it to harden. Once hardened, pop the mold out & enjoy the fruits of your labor!
