Ingredients

• Tall 12″ Silicone Loaf Mold
• Mini Heart Silicone Column Mold
• 5 oz. Shea Melt and Pour Base
• 50 oz. Clear Melt and Pour Base
• Rose Gold Mica
• Activated Charcoal
• 1.2 oz. White Magnolia Fragrance Oil
• 99% Isopropyl Alcohol

Directions

• Chop and melt 50 ounces of Clear Melt and Pour in a large bowl in the microwave using 30 second bursts. Once completely melted, add the White Magnolia Fragrance Oil. Use a spoon or spatula to completely mix in the fragrance oil.
• Disperse 2 teaspoons of Rose Gold Mica into 2 tablespoons 99% isopropyl alcohol. Pour off 16 ounces of the clear melted soap into a separate container and add all the dispersed mica. Use a spoon or spatula to fully mix in. Set aside.
• Disperse 2 teaspoons of activated charcoal into 2 Tablespoons of isopropyl alcohol. Add all the dispersed activated charcoal to the remaining clear soap and use a spoon or spatula to fully mix in.
• Pour 8 ounces of the black soap into the mold, and spray with 99% isopropyl alcohol to disperse any bubbles. I recommend placing the mold on a scale to measure the amount of soap being poured exactly. This well help create even layers. Allow the layer of soap to cool and harden until a thick skin has formed, or until it’s completely hard.
• Remelt the pink soap in the microwave using 20 second bursts. Once melted, allow the soap to cool to 130 ° F or below. Spray the bottom layer of soap with 99% isopropyl alcohol, and pour 8 ounces of the pink soap into the mold. Spritz the top of the soap with isopropyl alcohol to disperse any bubbles. Allow to cool and harden.
• Once the pink layer has hardened, spritz the pink layer with alcohol. Reheat the black soap if necessary and allow to cool to 130 ° F or below. Pour about 3 ounces of the black soap into the mold. Spritz with alcohol to disperse bubbles and allow to cool slightly. This will be the small amount of soap under the heart.
• Once the small layer has cooled slightly to form a thick skin, carefully place the heart embed into the mold. Spritz with alcohol. While holding the embed upright with one hand, pour black soap around the bottom of the embed and allow it to cool slightly so the heart embed stays in place. Once cooled slightly, spritz the embed with more alcohol. Pour more black soap on top of the heart until completely covered. Continue to pour until there is a thin layer above the heart embed, similar to the layer of black soap below the heart. Spritz with alcohol to disperse any bubbles. Allow to cool and harden until completely hard or until it has formed a thick skin.
• Remelt the pink soap in the microwave using 15 second bursts. Do not overheat! If the soap gets too hot, it can burn. Once the soap has cooled to 130 ° F or below, spritz the black soap layer with 99% isopropyl alcohol and pour the pink soap on top. Spritz with alcohol to disperse any bubbles and allow to cool and harden.
• Reheat the black soap in the microwave using 15 second bursts. Once 130 ° F or below, spritz the pink layer with 99% isopropyl alcohol and pour the black soap on top. Spray with alcohol to disperse any bubbles and allow to fully cool and harden for several hours.
• Once the soap has fully cooled and hardened, break the airlock by pulling away the sides of the silicone mold. Press the soap from the bottom to push it out of the mold. Cut into bars and enjoy! Wrap in plastic wrap or another airtight packaging option to help prevent sweating, aka: glycerin dew.
