Directions:
NOTE: If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend you wear a hairnet, gloves and a mask. We also recommend a clean apron and workspace.
  1. Place silicone mold on cookie sheet for stability.
  2. To a plastic beaker, add 1 oz. of clear soap. Heat in microwave for 10 seconds or until melted.
  3. Add 1-2 micro scoop of green mica powder and mix well.  
  4. Carefully pour a small amount of soap into each leaf filling the area just below the opening to the apple area. Let harden.
  5. In a microwave-safe measuring cup, add 16 oz. of cut up clear soap. Heat in microwave until melted.
  6. Add 0.50 oz. fragrance oil and 3 micro scoops of NuTone Red powder and stir to blend in. 
  7. Fill all six cavities with a luffa slice. 
  8. Spritz the inside of each leaf with rubbing alcohol. Once the red soap has cooled to 125°F, pour soap into each cavity, pushing down the luffa to soak up the soap. Be sure to pour soap into the leaf area also. Fill to the top and spritz with alcohol. Let harden.
  9. Carefully remove each soap from the mold. Remove from the bottom of the cavity so that the leaf is the last part to unmold. This will help keep the leaf from breaking off.
  10. Repeat above steps to make remaining 6 luffa bars. If any green soap remains, simply melt and repour for the remaining soaps.       
  11. Package as desired and label product accordingly.       
To Use:  Lather onto wet skin. Use luffa side to gently scrub heals and elbows. Rinse off with warm water.
