Layered Soaps

Nourish your skin with a layered soap that is easy and fun to make. You can assemble the necessary ingredients from your neighborhood craft store. However, you have to be patient while making the soap as each layer has to be thoroughly solidified before putting on the next layer.

There are a wide variety of layered soaps that can be made at home. Mint and lavender scented layered soaps are the popular bath time favorites.

How to Prepare a Layered Soap?

Ingredients
You require a few ingredients for making the layered soap. These are melt and pour soap base, non bleeding oxides and pigments, soap mold, oil fragrances and colors and a microwave measuring cup.

Procedure

• Chop the melt and pour soap base into cubes. Put the cubes in the microwave measuring cup for 50 seconds.
• Add the desired soap fragrance and colorants into the liquid soap base.
• Pour the mixture into the soap mold in such a way that it fills up about 1/3rd of the soap mold.
• Let the soap layer cool off and solidify.
• Scratch the soap layer with a fork along its length. This will help the multiple soap layers to hold on to each other.
• Repeat the same process for the next two layers.
• Do not scratch the uppermost layer of the soap.
• It is best to refrigerate the layered soap for a few minutes, before prying them out of the soap mold.
• You can mix and match transparent and opaque soap bases for an arty look.

So, start preparing the layered soaps and make your bath time a fun experience.
