Directions:

NOTE: This project and these instructions have been written for someone who has experience making soap and knows the potential dangers due to working with sodium hydroxide. It will not outline all safety methods of working with dangerous chemicals, it is simply a soap recipe for advanced soapmakers.

1. Prepare the lye solution by weighing the water and lye in two separate containers. Pour the lye into the water, carefully mix in a well-ventilated area and set aside to cool while you prepare your oils.
2. Measure the oils and butters and melt in the microwave. 
3. Measure 1.75 oz. of Satsuma Fragrance Oil in a small beaker and set aside.
4. While oils are cooling, measure 1/2 tsp. of Shimmering White Clouds Mica Powder and 1/2 tsp. Neon Orange You Glad Powder into separate beakers. Add 0.5 oz. of your mixed oils/butters to each beaker and blend well.
5. When oils and water/lye solution are both approximately 120° F, slowly pour lye water into oils and start mixing with stick blender. At light trace, add the fragrance oil and continue blending.
6. Add the Neon Orange You Glad Powder mixture from Step 4 and blend until trace.
7. Pour soap into mold.
8. Allow soap to set up enough to play with the top. Add the Shimmering White Clouds Mica Powder/oil mixture to the top of the soap and swirl into the top of the soap. This will achieve a swirled/textured look.
9. Allow soap to set up overnight before unmolding and cutting.
10. Let soap cure 4-6 weeks. 

To Use: Lather onto wet skin and rinse with warm water. Avoid contact with eyes.
