Jasmine Cold Process Guest Soap Favors for Beginners Recipe

Prepare the lye solution by weighing the water and lye in two separate containers. Pour the lye into the water, carefully mix in a well-ventilated area and set aside to cool while you prepare your oils.

Measure the oils and butters in the microwave-safe container and melt in the microwave. Set aside.

In plastic beaker measure out fragrance oil. In a separate beaker measure the Titanium Dioxide powder and add a small amount of the melted oil mixture. Mix well and set aside.

When both the lye mixture and the oils are 120°F or below, carefully pour the lye mixtureinto the oils. Stick blend until you reach a light trace.

Add the premixed white colorant to the batter and blend in. Add the fragrance and mixwith spatula by hand or with a few short bursts of the stick blender. (This fragrance turnedthe soap batter yellow initially but did turn back to a creamy color after sitting in the mold.)

Pour the soap batter into each cavity of the mold and tap the mold on the counter to releaseany air bubbles. Arrange jasmine flowers on top of each soap and press lightly into the soap.

Allow to set at least 24 hours or longer until soap is firm enough to unmold. Gently remove soaps from the mold.

Let soap cure 4-6 weeks. Package and label accordingly.
