Step-by-step instructions for making your own personalized soap
Preparation: Cut the soap into small cubes

First, cut the transparent soap into small cubes. These small pieces make melting easier as there is more surface area to heat evenly.

Melting process: heating the soap

Place the soap cubes in a universal melting pot. Heat the soap at a low temperature and make sure to check the temperature regularly with a thermometer. Make sure it does not exceed 60 °C to maintain the consistency and quality of the soap.

Customization: Add fragrance and care

Once the soap is completely melted, you can customize it to your liking. Add a few drops of your favorite fragrance oil to give the soap a pleasant scent. If you like, you can also add a nourishing skin oil. To make the soap develop a rich lather, you can add soap lather concentrate.

Coloring: add soap colour

Now it gets colorful! Add soap colour and make sure that the desired color intensity is achieved. The more drops you use, the stronger the color will be. Stir thoroughly so that the color is evenly distributed.

Molding: Pouring and hardening soap

Carefully pour the colored soap mixture into a selected silicone mould. Let it harden completely. Note that the Time to dry: may vary depending on the room temperature, so allow enough time for this.

Multicolor effect: add more layers of color

After the first layer has fully cured, you can repeat the previous steps with additional colors. This creates an enchanting multi-color effect.

Final steps: cutting and decorating the soap

Once the soap has hardened completely, you can remove it from the mold. Cut it into small cubes using a soap cutter. If you like, you can heat the edges slightly with a lighter or hairdryer and place additional decorations, such as a duck, on top.

Presentation: Setting the scene for soap

Place the finished soap cubes in a bathtub-soap dish and enjoy the special flair that you bring to your bathroom.
