Ingredients
  • 12 Bar Round Silicone Mold
  • 32 oz. Stephenson Ultra Clear Soap Base
  • Queen’s Purple Color Block
  • Black Oxide Color Block
  • ½ Tbsp. Iridescent Glitter
  • 1 tsp. Snowflake Sparkle Mica
  • 0.6 oz. Bramble Berry’s Alien Type Fragrance Oil
  • 0.6 oz. Vanilla Color Stabilizer
  • 99% Isopropyl Alcohol in Spray Bottle
Instructions
  1. Cut and melt 32 ounces of Stephenson Ultra Clear Soap Base in the microwave using 30-60 second bursts. Once melted, add large chunks of the Queen’s Purple Color Block until you have a highly saturated, deep purple color.
  2. Add chunks of the Black Oxide until you have a darker purple color. If necessary, place the soap back in the microwave using 15-20 second bursts to help fully melt the Color Block. Add the black slowly, you don’t want to totally cover the purple color.
  3. Once you’re happy with the color, add the Snowflake Sparkle Mica and Iridescent Glitter. Mix in thoroughly until there are no chunks of mica. To help it mix in a little better, you can disperse the Snowflake Sparkle in 1 tablespoon of rubbing alcohol. I skipped this step this time, and the color mixes in fine. Just takes a little more stirring. =)
  4. Add the Bramble Berry’s Alien Type Fragrance Oil and Vanilla Color Stabilizer. Mix in completely.
  5. Pour the soap into the mold cavities, spritzing with alcohol after each pour to get rid of bubbles. Allow the bars to fully cool and harden for several hours, up to overnight. Remove from the mold. Wrap the soap in plastic wrap after unmolding to help avoid glycerin dew. Enjoy!
