1 Weigh the soap base. You will need 600 g soap base (100 g per finished bar of soap). We recommend you use gloves because the soap base gets hot and because the vanilla essential oil is very concentrated.
3 You can melt the soap base either in a water bath or in a microwave when it is cut into 3 x 3 cm chunks. Melt in the microwave at 80% power with 30 second intervals and stir between each interval to prevent heat damage.
4 Add 2 cm pink soap dye paste, 1.5 cm yellow soap dye paste and 12 drops of vanilla essential oil and approx. 1 dl rose petals into the molten soap. Stir well. NB: separate the rose buds and only use the rose petals and crumbs, adding a bit of colour to the bars of soap.
5 Pour the molten soap into the mould and remove any air bubbles from the surface by spraying with rubbing alcohol.
6 Sprinkle rose petals on top of the bars of soap when they have cooled slightly. The rose petals lose their colour if the soap is too warm. Lightly push the rose petals into the top of the bars of soap to make sure they stick.
