It is done very simply, and you will get a lot of positive emotions from the creative process of cooking. Your beautiful soap will refresh and smell like mint, it will decorate any bathroom and turn showering into a real pleasure.
You will need:
- Shea butter soap (base);
- peppermint essential oil;
- red dye for soap;
- soap mold;
- microwave;
- heat-resistant dishes;
- toothpicks.
Manufacturing:
You need to cut off a small block from which you will subsequently make mint soap from the common block of soap base with shea butter. This smooth and silky base is easily cut with an ordinary kitchen knife. Cut the soap base into cubes, place them in a heat-resistant measuring cup and melt in the microwave, it will take about 30 seconds (if making soap alone).
If you don't want to test your microwave, you can simply melt the base in a water bath. The base needs to be mixed well to make sure it is completely dissolved, add a couple of drops of peppermint oil and stir again. Don't overdo it with the amount of peppermint essential oil, or the soap will chill your skin too much.
Note: To make three mint soaps, take just over 1/2 kg of soap base and microwave for 60 seconds to melt. Soap cools and hardens pretty quickly, so work with it quickly.
Pour the melted soap into the mold on top, drip a few drops of red soap dye. Using a toothpick, “stir” the red droplets a little with the soap base, and when you mix, you get fancy patterns. Let the soap cool completely, then remove it from the mold.
The form can be used in the classic, or more unusual. By the way, even the forms from the children's sand play set are suitable. Peppermint essential oil can be substituted for another one. For the winter period, coniferous, herbal and citrus aromas are suitable.
Place the prepared soap in a beautiful Christmas box, tie it with a ribbon and you can hand over a handmade gif.webpt.
