Step 1:
Line up your 4
disposable cups. Assign each cup one of
the following colors: Orange, White, Red, and Gray. To the white cup, add the pumice
and 20 grams of Vegetable Glycerin. To
the Red cup, add the Red
Moroccan Clay and 9 grams of Vegetable Glycerin. To the orange cup, add the orange peel
powder, fun soap colorant orange oxide, and 11 grams of Vegetable
Glycerin. To the gray cup, add the dead sea
clay powder and 10 grams of Vegetable Glycerin.
Stir each cup individually to make a paste. Set aside.
Step 2: Using your microwave safe glass container, weigh out and
melt 904 grams of Shea Butter Soap Base. You will want to melt the soap in 30 seconds
increments, while stirring in between.
Keep melting until all soap is in a liquid state.
Step 3: Next, get the white soap cup, using a spatula,
completely scrap all of the pumice paste into the melted soap. Then, add the 45 grams of Fresh Squeezed Orange Scent. Stir well to incorporate.
Step 4: Now that
all of your melted soap is scented and contains the pumice, carefully
take the soap over to the cups containing the paste. To the remaining 3 cups, add 225 grams of
scented soap to each one. Individually,
stir each cup. There
will be some soap left in your microwave safe glass container. This will be your white soap now.
Step
5: Get your silicone soap mold. Place it in front of you.
Step
6: Select
two color cups. Starting with these colors begin to pour the soap at the
same time (using both hands). Pour the soap amount you want,
then switch colors. Continue this until
all of the soap has been used. Please
Note: You will need to use 2 of the 4 loaf
molds for this recipe.
Step
7: Finally, using your spatula, scrap any
remaining soap from the containers. Spritz with alcohol to
remove any bubbles. Allow to fully set
up. Cut into slices when
ready.
Your Mechanics Soap is now ready to use!
