We created these bath bombs to follow the succulent craze that is currently dominating interior design. The bottom or pot for the succulent is a bath bomb and the succulent embed is actually soap. They are fun to make and people will think they are the real thing.

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. - SOAP EMBED: Using a microwave-safe container, add 4.5 oz. of cut up soap. Heat in microwave until melted.
- Stir in Woodland Green pigment powder until completely blended and pour into all cavities of the silicone mold.
- Once hardened, unmold and repeat above steps using the Martini Olive Green mica powder. Cover unmolded soaps with plastic wrap and set aside.
- To a mixing bowl, add baking soda, citric acid, rhassoul clay and red and brown pigment colors. Blend with wire whisk.
- Using a plastic beaker, mix fragrance and vanilla stabilizer. Set aside for two minutes. Drizzle over powder mixture and mix well with wire whisk.
- Add Polysorbate 80 and Aloe Vera Oil. Mix until consistency of damp sand is achieved. Mixture should stick together when squeezed in palm of hand.
- Fill one-half of metal bath bomb mold with mixture. Pack tightly and unmold onto cookie sheet. Repeat until all mixture has been used.
- Allow bath bombs to harden for 24 hours or until hard enough to handle.
- Once bath bombs are hard, melt cocoa butter in microwave.
- Using a plastic dropper, cover the top or flat area with a thin layer of cocoa butter. This will act as the "glue" for the toppings.
- Place succulent soaps on top of bath bomb as desired. You may need to coat the bottoms of the soaps with cocoa butter so that they stick.
- Using a spoon, carefully sprinkle red salts into the empty areas on the bath bomb. Drizzle a small amount of cocoa butter on top of the salts to hold them in place.
- Repeat until all bath bombs are decorated. Depending on the designs of the bath bombs, there may be leftover succulent soaps.
- Allow to set for at least 24-48 hours to dry. Package as desired.
- Label product accordingly.
To Use: Place bath bomb under running water to dissolve. Use soap embed to wash with.
