Equipment Needed

  • Cutting Board
  • Soap Cutter
  • Etekcity Digital Scale
  • Two Pouring Pitchers
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Temperature Gun
  • Two Plastic Bags
  • Spatulas
  • Glasses
  • Microwave
  • Rose Mold
  • 91% Isopropyl Alcohol
  • Heat Sealer
  • Scissors
  • Industrial Thermal Gun

Procedure – DAY ONE

  1. Place cutting board on the utility cart.  Place digital scale on cutting board.  Place a pouring pitcher on the scale and tare the weight.  Cut oatmeal soap in chunks and add to the pitcher.  Add approximately 7 to 7.5  oz of oatmeal soap to the pitcher.  Store remaining oatmeal soap in plastic bag for future use. 
  2. Repeat Step 1 again, but with olive oil soap.
  3. Measure the following oils and add to a shot glass and gently stir to combine uniformity:
  • 0.25 tsp rose fragrance oil
  • 0.5 tsp tea tree essential oil
  • 0.75 tsp chocolate fragrance oil
  • 1 tsp frankincense essential oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla fragrance oil

Set the shot glass with the oil aside for later steps.

4. Place the pitchers in the microwave and melt the soap in 20 second bursts until the soap has melted.  Check the temperature too with the temperature gun.  Do not let the soap get hotter than 140 deg F.  Scorched soap is not good.

5. Once the soap is partially or completely melted, add LESS THAN 1/8 tsp of copper mica to the olive oil soap.  Using a spatula, gently stir the mica into the soap until there is a consistent color.  You may need to add to the microwave for an additional 10 seconds to keep the soap temperate around  125 degrees F.

6. Split evenly the oils between the two pitchers of melted soap.  Stir gently to completely incorporate the oil into the soap.

    7. Spray 91% isopropyl alcohol onto the soap to disperse and air bubbles.

    8. Spritz the rose mold with 91% isopropyl alcohol too to help disperse air bubbles when pouring the soap. 

    9. Alternating between olive oil soap and oatmeal soap, slowly pour the soap into the mold to create a swirl effect. 

    10. Spritz again with alcohol and let it cure for the day.

      Procedure – DAY TWO

      1. Unmold the soap.
      2. Place in shrink wrap and using a heat sealer, crimp the edges as close as possible to the soap.
      3. Trim excess shrink wrap with scissors.
      4. Using an industrial heat gun and the lowest setting, apply heat to activate the shrink wrap.
      5. Label soap.
