  • Spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 3 heat resistant measuring cups

Instructions
 

Directions for the First Layer:

  • Add the white Goat Milk soap to one measuring cup. In the other 2 microwave safe measuring cups, evenly divide the clear melt & pour soap.
  • Step 1: Heat the Goats Milk soap in the first measuring cup in 30 second bursts. Stir in between each. Continue until completely melted.
  • Steps 2-4: Add 2-3 drops of the scented oil. Add ½ teaspoon of the white mica colorant to the measuring cup. Stir until fully incorporated. 1 teaspoon of the Polysorbate 80 to the measuring cup
  • Steps 5-6: Spray each cavity of the mold with the rubbing alcohol. Fill each cavity 1/3 full of the Goat Milk soap. Spray the soap with the alcohol and allow to harden completely before moving on to the next layer.

Directions for the 2nd Layer:

  • Step 7: Heat the clear soap in the 2nd measuring cup in 30 second bursts. Stir in between each. Continue until completely melted.
  • Steps 8-9: Repeat Steps 2-4 above, but this time with the pink mica.
  • Step 10: Fill each cavity 2/3 full of the pink. Spray with the alcohol and allow to harden completely before moving on to the next layer.

Directions for the 3rd Layer:

  • Heat the clear soap in the 3rd measuring cup in 30 second bursts. Stir in between each. Continue until completely melted.
  • Steps 11-12: Repeat Steps 2-4 above, but this time with the blue mica.
  • Step 13: Spray the soap from the first layer with the rubbing alcohol. Fill each cavity full and spray with the alcohol. Allow the soaps to harden completely (at least an hour).
  • Gently pop the soaps from the mold and enjoy!

Notes

  • *You can substitute regular melt & pour soap. The glitter will just settle to the bottom of the mold instead of floating in the layers.
  • **If using on children, please check a trusted source for the safe amount to use.
  • The use of the rubbing alcohol in between layers is to help them stick together. Spraying the alcohol on the top layer is to prevent bubbles from forming.
  • You can melt the soap in all 3 measuring cups in one “assembly” line or you can do each one before each layer. If you do all 3 ahead of time, you may need to re-heat the soaps as they will have begun to harden before you get to the following layers.
