3. Add fragrance mixture to the melted soap and gently stir in.
4. Mix 1.5 tsp. of pumpkin powder and 1.5 tsp. of parsley powder into 1 oz. of glycerin. Stir until powders are completely incorporated into the liquid.  
5. Add this mixture to the melted soap base and stir well.
6. Place the silicone soap mold onto a cookie sheet to give the mold stability if it needs to be moved.
7. Let soap cool to 135°F then gently stir to incorporate ingredients. Pour the soap into the 6 cavities in the Square Basic Silicone Mold. Spritz the top of the soap with alcohol to release any surface bubbles.
8. Once the soap has almost completely hardened, remove soap from silicone mold.
