Cosmic Cotton Candy Soap Recipe

How to Make Cosmic Cotton Candy Soap

Ingredients

• 25 cm Silicone Loaf Mold
• 737 g Clear Melt and Pour Soap Base
• 737 g White Melt and Pour Soap Base
• 11.3 ml Cotton Candy Fragrance Oil
• 11.3 ml Vanilla Color Stabilizer
• Blue Soap Colorant
• Pink Soap Colorant
• 1/2 tsp. Cosmetic Glitter
• 99% Isopropyl Alcohol in Spray Bottle

Instructions

Step 1: Chop 737 g of White Melt and Pour Soap Base and 737 g of Clear Melt and Pour Soap Base into small uniform cubes. Place them in the microwave and melt both containers using 30-60 second bursts. Once melted, add 5.9 ml of Cotton Candy Fragrance Oil and 6 ml Vanilla Color Stabilizer to both containers and use a spoon to mix in thoroughly.

Step 2: Split both containers in half so you have two containers of white soap and two containers of clear soap. All containers should weigh about 369 g. Add shavings of the blue colorant to one container of white soap and one container of clear soap. Add shavings of the pink colorant to one container of clear soap and one container of white soap. Use a spoon to mix in the colors.

Step 3: You now have four colors of soap: pastel pink, hot pink, pastel blue, and vibrant blue. Add 1/4 teaspoon of Fine Iridescent Glitter to both containers of clear soap, and use a spoon to thoroughly mix in.

Step 4: It’s time to start pouring and swirling! Check the temperatures of the soap, each container should be about 48-54 °C. Pour a thin layer of the clear blue soap into the mold, just enough to cover the bottom. Spritz with alcohol to help get rid of bubbles, and pour pastel pink soap on top in random areas and spritz with alcohol. Allow this layer to cool and harden for about 3 minutes. In this time it will develop thin skin. This will help the soap poured on top stay more separate, and prevent the colors from muddling together.

Step 5: If necessary, place the hot pink soap and pastel blue soap back in the microwave until about 51-52 °C and fluid. Spritz the soap in the mold with alcohol to help the layers stick together. Pour a thin layer of the pastel blue, spritz with alcohol to get rid of bubbles, and then pour hot pink soap into random areas to create a swirl effect. Spritz with alcohol to get rid of bubbles, and allow to cool and harden for 3-4 minutes.

Step 6: Repeat this process until all the soap is used up. I recommend always pouring one color made with white soap (pastel blue and pastel pink) along with one color made with clear soap (vibrant pink and vibrant blue). Pouring these colors together helps make the swirl more eye-catching, and prevents the colors from muddling together.

Step 7: Once all the soap has been poured into the mold, allow it to fully cool and harden for about 5 hours, or up to overnight. It’s tempting to cut into the soap while it’s still warm, but don’t do it! Once cut into bars, cover in plastic wrap to help avoid glycerin dew. Enjoy!
