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. - To a small microwave-safe measuring cup, add 2 oz. of clear soap and 0.05 oz. green color block. Heat soap in microwave until melted.
- Add ½ teaspoon of liquid glycerin and 1.5 ml of fragrance oil. Stir well.
- Pour into loaf mold. Spritz with rubbing alcohol to pop any surface bubbles.
- In microwave-safe cup, melt 1.5 oz. of white soap.
- Add ¼ teaspoon of liquid glycerin and 1.5 ml of fragrance oil. Stir well.
- To test if green soap has set up, press the soap with your finger. If it leaves a slight indentation, it is hard enough to pour the next layer.
- When the white soap has cooled to 125°F, spritz green soap generously with rubbing alcohol.
- Pour the white soap onto the green soap and spritz the top with alcohol.
- When the soap is firm and only slightly warm, unmold onto a table.
- Melt about 1 oz. of clear soap and add green color until it is the same shade as the first layer of soap.
- Drizzle the green soap over the white layer. This will act as a "glue" when you roll up the soap.
- Starting at one end (shorter side), tightly roll the soap. Try to tuck the beginning of the roll in as tight as possible so there will not be a hole in the middle of your soap. If the soap roll seems a bit loose, melt a small amount of clear soap and pour down into the top of the soap candy. Allow soap to completely harden.
- While soap is hardening, repeat above steps with the red color block.
- When both red and green rolls have hardened, cut the soap roll into 6 slices. Wrap each soap in a cello bag and tie ends with raffia.
- Repeat above steps, again, to make another six soaps of each color.
- Label product accordingly. Be sure to add a note "This Is Soap, Do Not Eat!"
To Use: Lather onto wet skin and rinse with warm water.
