Ingredients
Embeds
Small 9 Ball Silicone Mold
99% Isopropyl Alcohol
16 oz. LCP Clear Melt and Pour
Perfect Red Color Block
Chrome Green Color Block
Base
10″ Loaf Silicone Mold
40 oz. Basic Rebatch
4 oz. Distilled Water
Snowflake Sparkle Mica
1 oz. Holiday Candy Fragrance Oil
1 oz. Peppermint Essential Oil, 1st Distill
Instructions
PREP EMBEDS: Chop and melt 16 oz. of LCP Clear Melt & Pour Soap in the microwave using 20 second bursts. Once melted, split the soap evenly into two containers. To one container, add shavings of the Perfect Red Color Block until you achieve a rich red, and to the other container add shavings of the Chrome Green Color Block until you achieve a deep green.Carefully pour the soap into the Small 9 Ball Silicone Mold cavities, spritzing the soap with alcohol after each pour to disperse bubbles. Allow the soap to fully cool and harden, then remove the embeds from the mold and set aside. Each color should make 36 sphere embeds, for a total of 72. If you’d like to make less you can, the soap will just not contain as many embed details on the inside.
FRAGRANCE PREP: Add 1 oz. Holiday Candy Fragrance Oil and 1 oz. Peppermint Essential Oil 1st. Distill into a glass, fragrance oil safe container. Set aside.
In a crock pot or double boiler, heat the Basic Rebatch and 4 oz. distilled water over low-medium heat until it reaches the consistency of mashed potatoes, stirring frequently to ensure the soap heats evenly. Be patient, this process can take a while!
Set aside 10 embeds (5 of each color) to apply to the top of the soap. Once the soap is smooth and soft (it will still be quite thick) turn off the heat. Add the fragrance and essential oil blend and stir until completely mixed.
Add the remaining melt and pour embeds and stir to fully mix them into the rebatch.
Using a large spoon or spatula, begin adding the rebatch into the 10 Inch Silicone Loaf Mold. After every few additions of soap, tap the mold firmly on the counter to help evenly disperse the soap and get rid of any air pockets. Continue adding the soap until the mold is full.
Use the spoon to mound the soap toward the center of the mold. If any embeds are showing, press them down further into the soap. Once your happy with the top, sprinkle the top of the soap with Snowflake Sparkle Mica.
Place the 10 embeds that were set aside earlier into the center of the soap. Press them down firmly, as this will prevent them falling off the soap later on.
Allow the soap to stay in the mold for 4-5 days. Once it’s ready to unmold, cut into bars and allow the soap to cure for at least a week. This allows the moisture to evaporate, creating a harder and longer lasting bar. Enjoy!
