Materials

  • 1 lb / 450 g melt-and-pour soap base (e.g. goat’s milk or shea butter)
  • 1 tsp / 5 g / 0.17 oz rosehip oil
  • 2 tsp red mica
  • 10 drops of rose essential oil
  • high-proof alcohol (optional)
  • 1/4 cup / 50 g / 1.7 oz granulated sugar (can sub for erythritol if living in a humid environment)

Tools

  • Silicone Soap Molds
  • Heat-proof glass measuring cup
  • Wooden spoon, whisk, or silicone spatula
  • Cutting board
  • Soap knife

Instructions

  • Prepare your supplies and workspace by washing everything with soap and water. You can also sanitize your work area and tools with a few spritzes of alcohol.
  • Chop soap base. Chop your soap base into small cubes to speed up the melting process.
  • Melt soap. Place the soap cubes into a microwave-safe container or glass measuring cup. Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir between each burst and be careful not to burn it.
  • Add oil and color. Add the argan oil and essential oils. Mix thoroughly until the oils are well incorporated. Add the rose clay or pink mica mixture slowly. Stir gently. 
  • Pour soap bars.  Place the soap mold on a cutting board or small tray, making lifting the mold easier. Next, spray the mold with a bit of alcohol. This helps the soap adhere better to the mold. Pour the liquid soap into the mold. Spritz the with alcohol to dissolve any bubbles.
  • Solidify. Leave the soap to set. It will take approximately 1 hour at room temperature or 30 minutes in the fridge.
  • Unmold. Once solidified, release the soap by gently pulling back the mold to break the airlock. Then pop each piece out of the mold.
  • Frost. Once fully hardened, remove the soap bars from the mold. Using a soft, flat brush, moisten the edges of the soap with a small amount of water. You want the rim barely moist, not dripping wet. Place the sugar in a shallow bowl. Then roll the moistened edges of the soap in the sugar to coat. Let dry for a couple of minutes. Now you can enjoy your wonderful frosted rose soap!
  • Package and store. Wrap your cinnamon soap bars tightly in plastic wrap to protect them from moisture. Enjoy!
