Ingredients:

½ soap base
silicone soap mold
10 drops essential oil, if desired
1 teaspoon mica powder
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted

Directions:

Remove soap base from container and cut into pieces. Place in a microwave safe container and heat according to package directions. Once the soap is melted, work quickly as it will begin to harden immediately around the edges of the bowl.
Meanwhile, mix together mica powder and melted coconut oil until blended.
To the soap base, add essential oil and mica liquid. Stir to combine.
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.
When the soap is set, remove from the mold and package for gifts.
