Shamrock shaped soap in a fun green color is the picture of St. Patrick’s Day.
Lime, lemongrass, and rosemary essential oils combine to make a garden-fresh, fruity scent that suits the start of spring.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Clear Melt and Pour Soap Base
- 5ml Lime Essential Oil
- 5ml Lemongrass Essential Oil
- 5ml Rosemary Essential Oil
- Kelly Green Liquid Color
Supplies
- Heat Safe Bowls
- Pot or Double Boiler
- Small glass bowl for essential oils
- Spoon or Rubber Spatula
- Shamrock Shaped Soap Mold
- 99% isopropyl alcohol in a misting spray bottle
Instructions
- Add 5 ml each of lime, lemongrass, and rosemary essential oil to a small bowl and stir together. Set aside.
- Chop 2lbs of clear melt and pour soap base into smaller pieces and add to a heat safe bowl.
- Place the bowl on top of a pot with a few inches of water in it. Bring the water to a boil and gently melt the soap, stirring occasionally, until the soap is fully liquified.
- Remove the soap from heat and let it cool for just a few minutes before stirring in the essential oil blend. Stir in Kelly green liquid color, a few drops at a time, until your desired color is achieved.
- Pour the soap mixture into each mold cavity. Mist the top with 99% isopropyl alcohol to dissipate any air bubbles.
- Allow to cool and harden at room temperature for at least two hours.
- Remove the soap from molds and wrap tightly (plastic wrap, preferably shrink wrap works best) for storage to avoid glycerin dew forming on the bars.
