Ingredients
  • Silicone Scalloped Round Mold
  • Small 9 Ball Silicone Mold
  • 13 oz. Goat Milk Melt and Pour Base
  • 15 oz. Clear Melt & Pour Soap Base
  • 12 mL Red Berry Rhubarb Fragrance Oil
  • Shimmer Merlot Sparkle Color Block
  • Shimmer Magenta Color Block
  • 99% Isopropyl Alcohol in Spray Bottle
  • Dropper
Instructions
  1. Cut 2 oz. of Clear Melt and Pour Soap into small, even pieces. Place the soap in a heat-safe container and melt on 5 second bursts. Using short bursts prevents the soap from burning. Add shavings of the Shimmer Magenta Color Block until you get a rich pink hue.
  2. Slowly and carefully pour the melted soap into the Small 9 Ball Silicone Mold. Spritz with 99% isopropyl alcohol to disperse any bubbles. Allow to fully cool and harden. This will take about 30 minutes to an hour. When they're ready, unmold by pressing on the back of each cavity.
  3. Cut 13 oz. of Clear Melt and Pour Soap into small, even pieces. Place the soap in a heat-safe container and melt on 20 second bursts. Add shavings of the Shimmer Merlot Sparkle Color Block until you get a rich red hue. Add 6 mL of Red Berry Rhubarb and stir to fully incorporate. Pour 1 oz. of the red soap into each cavity and spritz with alcohol to pop any bubbles. You can place the mold on a scale and measure the 1 ounce or just eyeball it. Let the layer cool and harden.
  4. Cut 13 oz. of Goat Milk Melt and Pour Soap into small, even pieces. Place the soap in a heat-safe container and melt on 20 second bursts. Add shavings of the Shimmer Magenta Color Block until you get a light pink hue. Add 6 mL of the Red Berry Rhubarb and stir to fully incorporate.
  5. Check the temperature of the pink soap. You want it to be around 120-125 ° F otherwise it will melt the red layer below. When it's the right temperature, spritz the red layer with alcohol to help the layers stick and pour 1 ounce of pink soap into each cavity. Spritz with alcohol again to pop any bubbles. Allow the layer to cool and harden.
  6. Reheat the red soap if necessary on 5 second bursts. When it's about 120-125 ° F, spritz the pink layer below to help the layers stick and pour 1 oz. of the red soap into each cavity. Spritz with alcohol again to pop any bubbles.
  7. Reheat the pink soap if necessary on 5 second bursts. When it's about 120-125 ° F, spritz the red layer below to help the layers stick and pour only .5 oz. of the pink soap into each cavity. The rest of the layer will hold the embed. Spritz with alcohol again to pop any bubbles and allow the layer to cool and harden.
  8. Reheat the rest of the pink soap on 5 second bursts and wait for it to cool to about 120-125 ° F. Spritz the top of the soap and the embed with alcohol and place the embed on the center of the bar.
  9. Slowly and carefully pour the rest of the pink soap into the cavities. Allow the soap to fully cool and harden overnight. Release the soap from the mold, and wrap in plastic wrap to help avoid glycerin dew.
