– a silicone mold, you can find all the soap molds here.
– Choose a soap base from our melt-and-pour soaps:

– One or more colors from our mica powders.
– Optionally, you can add flowers:
– Isopropanol alcohol 99.9%.
This is how to make pouring soap
1- Cut the base soap into 2.5cm pieces with a clean, sharp knife. The size and shape of the pieces need not be exact. Cutting the soap into cubes will make it melt faster and easier.
2- Melt the soap base in the microwave. Place the soap pieces in a microwave-safe dish. Heat the cubes at 30-second intervals, stirring between each until melted. The melted base should be smooth and liquid, with no bits or lumps.
3- Stir in the mica powder, if desired. Use ⅛ teaspoon of color powder per 450 grams of soap. You can add more later, if you want, but be aware that it may rub off on your skin.
4- If desired, stir in some fragrance oils. Fragrance oil: 1 tablespoon (15 ml) total per 450 grams of soap.
5- Pour the soap into the soap mold
6- Tap the mold gently. This will send any air bubbles to the surface. Then lightly spray the surface of the soap with Isopropanol alcohol 99.9%.
7- Allow the soap base to cool for 12 to 24 hours.
8- Remove the soap from the mold.
