Gather all your ingredients. Start by putting 10 cubes of clear soap base in a microwave safe container and microwave on 20 to 30 increments until it is fully melted. Here is the soap I used If you want to use the same mold & cutting tools – here they are
Once soap is melted add watermelon scent and stir (find the scent here)
Add green soap dye (here is what I used) a few drops at a time until you have your desired color
Spray silicone mold with rubbing alcohol
Pour green soap mixture into silicon mold
Spray soap mixture with rubbing alcohol (this will help so no bubbles form on your soap). Allow to dry and become firm for at least 15-20 minutes.
To create the second layer -place 6 cubes of the goats milk soap base in microwave safe container and microwave on 20 to 30 increments until it is fully melted. Once melted add your watermelon scent. Here is the soap I used for this step and the scent I used
Spray the green soap layer with rubbing alcohol. This helps the layers stick together so spray enough 🙂 but don’t go overboard either. Pour the white soap on top of the green in the mold. Again spray the top with rubbing alcohol to prevent bubbles. Let that layer harden.
For the next layer: : place 20 cubes of the clear soap base in a microwave safe container and microwave on 20 to 30 increments until it is fully melted. Once melted add your watermelon scent.
To get the pinkish red color for the third layer, add 1 drop of red for every 3 drops of pink. Start with 3 drops of pink and 1 drop of red and whisk together. Do this until you get the color you like. This may be different for you based on your preference and the coloring products you use. Here are the exact ones I used to make this
Spray the white layer with the rubbing alcohol just like before (don’t skimp). Pour in the pink soap mixture. Allow to set slightly (between 3-5 minutes) before adding some black sesame seeds. Make sure to wait or the will end up at the top.
Once you add the seeds, spray top layer with the rubbing alcohol. Allow to set overnight. When you are ready to cut your soap, you can use the tools that comes with the rectangle loaf mold I used or you can use a large knife. Here is the mold and tools
And that is all there is to this easy DIY watermelon soap!

Hi! Just wondering could I use poppy seeds instead of sesame seeds, or will they be too small. Also roughly how much melt and pour for each layer? My melt and pour is not cubed. I have a 2lb loaf mold. Thanks in advance.
