Make your own handmade bathing products - Melt & Pour Soap, Bath Bomb Ingredients


Melt & Pour Soap (SLS Free, Opaque/White)

Melt and Pour Soap is a really fun, versatile product which can be used to make some really creative soaps.  This is an opaque/white SLS free moisturising soap with a lovely lather.  To use, simply heat in a double boiler, stirring all the time (to prevent a skin from forming), remove from heat, add any colours, csometic grade fragrance or essential oils (at 2% max), seeds/oats etc for exfoliation and pour into your mould. Decorate with dried flowers or seeds etc and leave to set. 


Soapmaking moulds come in all different shapes, so you can really go to town with your creations and even can make them to look like little cupcakes by adding a layer of "icing" i.e a layer of soap on the top of the "cupcake" main body of soap.  If you are working with layers of soap, wait until each layer is semi set, like gravy or custard skin, until you pour your next layer. 


Ingredients: Aqua, Propylene glycol, Sodium stearate, Sodium laureth sulfate, Glycerin, Sucrose, Sodium cocoate, Sodium xylene sulfonate, Steraic Acid, Tetrasodium EDTA, Tetrasodium etidronate, Titanium Dioxide.
