Servings: 4 Bars
Equipment
- 4 inch Silicone Soap Mould
- Microwave Safe Spouted Measuring Cup
- Spoon or wooden craft stick for stirring
- Knife or soap cutter to cut the soap
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ lb (567g) Melt and Pour Soap Base
- 2 TBSP Himalayan Pink Salt, Fine
- 1 TBSP Himalayan Pink Salt, Coarsely Ground from a grinder
- 1 tsp Vitamin E Oil
Instructions
- Grind 1 (one) tablespoon of salt from the grinder and keep in a separate container. This salt will go on top of your soap.
- Cut the soap base into 1 inch cubes and add to the measuring cup.
- Heat in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Remove and stir well.
- Continue to heat in 20 second increments, stirring after each heating session, until the soap base is completely melted.
- When melted, let stand for two minutes.
- Add the fine salt and stir well.
- Add the vitamin E oil and stir well.
- The mixture will start to thicken as it cools, so continue to stir. The mixture needs to be cooled off to allow the salt to stay mixed in the soap, rather than sink to the bottom. This is what gives the soap bars the colourful exfoliating chunks that you see within the soap bars. After pouring, your soap should be rocky or chunky at the top, rather than flat in the mould.
- Pour the soap mixture into the mould and immediately sprinkle the ground salt over the top of the soap.
- Allow the soap to set for about 4 hours.
- Remove from the mould and cut into 1 inch bars.
- For longer lasting bars, keep them in a dry area after use.
