Soap Making

1.   Cut the soap base into small pieces. Put them into a glass melting pot and place this in a saucepan filled with water.

2.   When the soap has melted, take it off the heat and add color. When making pastel-colored soaps, only add a small amount of color.

3.   Dissolve approx. 1 teaspoon of white Titanium dioxide. This makes the soap opaque.

4.   Also, add essential oil to the molten soap; approx. 2ml. per 100g soap.

5.   Immediately pour the molten soap into soap moulds and let them set. Let them dry for 24 hours. Store the soaps by wrapping them in foil or in cellophane. For decoration you may cut a small design from a napkin and “glue” it on with water.
