Other Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need: Cutting Board, Knife, Scale, Microwave, Isopropyl Alcohol, Mixing Spoons
Pan (9”x13”), Wax Paper, Microwave Safe Mixing Bowls (6 x-small, 1 small)

Prior to starting:  Fill your bottle with alcohol and trim the dip tube before placing the sprayer on the bottle.  Clean and sanitize your work area and the supplies you will be using. 

1. In your small mixing bowl, weigh out 375 grams of the Shea Butter SudsNGlo Melt and Pour Soap.  Cut it into small pieces.  Place it in a deep mixing bowl.

2. Melt the soap in the microwave in 30-second intervals until the soap base is in a fluid state.  Stir in between each 30-second burst.

3. Add 11 grams of the Grapefruit Twist Fragrance Oil.  Stir.

4. Pour the soap into each cavity of the square soap mold.  Spray each of the cavities with alcohol to release any air bubbles.  

5. Once the soap has setup, remove it from the molds.

6. Prepare your colors as listed below.  Each colorant will need its own extra small bowl.  You will mix each of the powdered colorants with just a tiny bit of alcohol to help it remain clump-free when adding it the your soap.  You will need to add about ⅛ tsp, but if you still find it to be clumpy, you can add just a pinch more alcohol.  If you add too much alcohol just let it set for a bit and let some of the alcohol evaporate.

• Red/Orange: ⅛ tsp Strawberry Shine Colorant, 1/16 tsp Tangerine Tango Mica, and ⅛ tsp alcohol

• Orange: ⅛ tsp Tangerine Tango Mica and ⅛ tsp alcohol

• Yellow:  ⅛ tsp Summer Sunshine Shimmer and ⅛ tsp alcohol

7. Prepare your pan.  Line a pan with wax paper.

8. Once your colors are mixed, you are ready to prepare your soap.  You will need three extra small bowls.  Add 30 grams of soap to each bowl.  Melt the contents of each bowl.  This may take as little as 15 seconds depending on your microwave.  Heat the soap base only until it is in a fluid state.

9. To each bowl, add one of the colorants.  Stir to blend the contents of each bowl.

10. Pour each color of soap next to each other on the wax paper.  If you would like your soap to have a smoother finish pour the soap as soon as it is melted and be sure to spray with alcohol to release air bubbles.  For a more textured top, allow it to thicken just a bit before pouring.

11. Dip the top of each white bar of soap into the colorful soap and twist.  Allow the soap to set up before using.
