Melt the soap base

Remove soap base from container and cut into pieces. Place in a microwave-safe container and heat according to package directions. 

Add essential oil

Once the soap is melted, work quickly as it will begin to harden immediately around the edges of the bowl. Add 10 drops of essential oil and stir to blend. Add coloring if desired.

Pour into molds

If the soap has begun to harden, reheat in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Pour melted soap into the molds and allow soap to rest for at least 45 minutes before moving.

Ready to package!

When the soap is set, remove from the mold and package for gifts.
