Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tsp Activated Charcoal
- 1 tsp Isopropyl Alcohol (Rubbing Alcohol) plus more in a spray bottle
- 1 pound (454g) Melt and Pour Soap Base
- 20 drops Essential Oils such as Tea Tree, Lavender, Lemon or Peppermint
Instructions
- Add the activated charcoal and the rubbing alcohol to a small glass jar. Mix well. Doing this will help the charcoal mix thoroughly through the soap.
- Cut up the soap base into small cubes and place in a microwavable safe jug.
- Heat on high in the microwave for 30 seconds. When done, remove and stir.
- Continue heating for 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the soap base is melted.
- Slowly, add the charcoal mixture to the melted soap base, mixing until the soap base is all black.
- Add in the essential oils.
- Pour the soap into your soap mould and spray the top with a light spritz of rubbing alcohol to prevent bubbles from forming on top of the soap.
- Let the soap sit for around 4-6 hours until set.
- Pop out of the mould and enjoy!
