The size and shape of the pieces need not be exact. Cutting the soap into cubes will make it melt faster and easier.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/melt-and-poor-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/melt-and-poor-3.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/melt-and-poor-3-150x107.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/melt-and-poor-3-600x429.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/melt-and-poor-3-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3- Stir in the mica powder, if desired. Use \u215b 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.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4- If desired, stir in some fragrance oils. Fragrance oil: 1 tablespoon (15 ml) total per 450 grams of soap.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/melt-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/melt-4.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/melt-4-150x107.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/melt-4-600x429.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/melt-4-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5- Pour the soap into the soap mold<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/melt-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/melt-2.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/melt-2-150x107.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/melt-2-600x429.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/melt-2-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6- Tap the mold gently.
