    Seascape Melt & Pour Soap Tutorial

    Author: Soap Queen


    Recipe type: Melt and Pour Soap Cook time: 2 hours Total time: 2 hours Serves: 3 pounds of soap
    Ingredients

    10″ Silicone Loaf Mold


    32 oz. Clear Melt & Pour Soap Base
    20 oz. White Melt & Pour Soap Base
    0.8 oz. Midnight Waters Fragrance Oil
    0.8 oz. Vanilla Color Stabilizer
    1 Tbsp. Walnut Shells
    Caribbean Blue Color Block
    Ultramarine Blue Color Block
    Hydrated Chrome Green Color Block
    Brown Oxide Color Block
    99% Isopropyl Alcohol in a Spray Bottle

    Instructions

    1. Chop 20 ounces of White Melt and Pour Soap Base into small, uniform cubes. Place them into a heat-safe
    container and melt in the microwave using 20-30 second bursts. Stir between each burst.
    2. Add 0.3 ounces of Midnight Fragrance Oil and 0.3 ounces of Vanilla Color Stabilizer. Stir to fully mix. Pour half
    of the soap into a separate container (it’s okay to eyeball it).
    3. Set one container of white soap aside. To the other container of white soap, add 1 tablespoon of walnut shells
    and mix until there are no clumps. Add a small shaving of the Brown Oxide Color Block and stir. If the color
    block isn’t melting, place the soap in the microwave using 5 second bursts until it does.
    4. Wait for the brown soap to cool to about 120-125 degrees F. If the soap is too hot, the walnut shells may sink
    to the bottom. Pour the soap into the mold and spritz with alcohol to get rid of bubbles.
    5. Wait for the soap to cool and form a thick skin on top. Use a spoon to press the soap in random shapes. You
    want to make peaks and divots – like the bottom of the ocean floor. There is no right or wrong way to do it, so
    have fun with it. Once you’re happy with the bottom layer, set the mold aside.
    6. Chop 32 ounces of Clear Melt and Pour Soap Base into small, uniform cubes. Place 16 ounces of the chopped
    soap base into one container with a small chunks of the Caribbean Blue Color Block. Place 8 ounces of soap
    base into another container with small chunks of the Hydrated Chrome Green Color Block. Place the remaining
    8 ounces of soap base into another container with small chunks of the Ultramarine Blue Color Block.
    7. Melt all three containers of soap in the microwave using 20-30 second bursts, stirring between each one. You
    can melt all three containers at the same time if your microwave is large enough, just make sure to keep an
    eye on the smaller containers so they don’t get too hot and scorch.
    8. Once all the soap is melted, add 0.3 ounces of Midnight Waters Fragrance Oil and 0.3 ounces of Vanilla Color
    Stabilizer to Caribbean Blue colored soap. Then add 0.1 ounces of Midnight Waters Fragrance Oil and 0.1
    ounces of Vanilla Color Stabilizer to the other two containers of soap colored with Hydrated Chrome Green and
    Ultramarine Blue. Mix in the fragrance thoroughly into each container of soap.
    9. Remelt the container of white soap that was set aside using 10-15 second bursts. Now it’s time to swirl and
    layer. The three colors you’ll be working with first are the Ultramarine Blue soap, Caribbean Blue soap, and the
    white soap. All of those colors should be about 120-125 degrees F.
    10. Spritz the bottom layer of soap with 99% isopropyl alcohol and pour a bit of the Ultramarine Blue Soap into the
    mold. Spritz with 99% isopropyl alcohol after every pour to get rid of bubbles as necessary. Then pour a little
    bit of white soap into the blue soap, all the way down the mold. TIP: Notice how the white soap “spreads” into
    the blue. The hotter the soap, the more it will spread and combine. You want the colors to stay separate, but
    still flow when poured into each other. If the colors are totally combining, allow the soap to cool a little bit.
    11. Allow the soap to cool in the mold, but only slightly. For this project you don’t need to wait for each layer to cool
    completely. Because each pour is so small, it will cool rather quickly. Wait for the soap to form a light to
    medium skin, spritz with 99% isopropyl alcohol, and pour a small amount of the Caribbean Blue soap, followed
    by small pours of the white and Ultramarine Blue soap. Spritz with 99% isopropyl alcohol to get rid of bubbles
    as necessary.
    12. Allow the soap to cool in the mold for about 1-2 minutes. The amount of time it needs to cool will vary
    depending on how hot the soap was when poured. It doesn’t need to be cooled completely or have a thick
    skin. Allowing the soap to cool slightly helps suspend the layers and keep colors from swirling together too
    much and becoming muddled. If necessary, place any of the soap into the microwave for 5-10 second bursts if
    they have become too thick to pour. Spritz with 99% isopropyl alcohol, and continue to pour small amounts of
    the white soap, Caribbean Blue and the rest of the Ultramarine Blue soap. You should still have about ⅔ of the
    Caribbean Blue soap left. TIP: Squeezing the soap mold helps you determine the temperature. Below, you can
    see it has a thin layer when squeezed, but it’s still strong enough to be squeezed without melted soap oozing
    out. This is a great time to pour more soap on top.
    13. Allow these pours to cool slightly, spritz with 99% isopropyl alcohol, and begin pouring small amounts of the
    Hydrated Chrome Green soap, white soap, and Caribbean Blue soap into the mold. Spritz with 99% isopropyl
    alcohol to get rid of bubbles as necessary.

    14. Continue pouring layers of the white, Hydrated Chrome Green, and Caribbean Blue soap until all of the
    Hydrated Chrome Green soap is in the mold. You should still have a little bit of Caribbean Blue soap and white
    soap left.
    15. Allow these pours to cool slightly, spritz with 99% isopropyl alcohol, and begin pouring the last of the white and
    Caribbean Blue soap into the mold. Save any last bits of white for the very top. Our final white soap was a little
    bit on the thick side, and we ended up with some big glops of soap on top, but that’s okay. If it’s still somewhat
    fluid, you can use a Clean Up Tool (or knife, spoon, chopstick, etc.) and push and swirl the melt and pour to
    break up any big clumps.
    16. Allow the soap to fully harden and cool in the mold for at least 4-5 hours, preferably overnight. We find when
    we try to cut into melt and pour soap that’s slightly warm, the layers are more likely to separate. Once it’s cool,
    remove from the mold and cut into bars. Wrap the bars in plastic wrap to prevent glycerin dew. Enjoy.
