- Follow the directions for creating
soap curls if you are going to include them in your design.
- You can make the base for this homemade soap recipe following the instructions for your preferred soap making method on "The Process" page.
- Do not add the coconut milk to the lye water. Hold on to it until the soap reaches a thin trace and then add it to the soap base.
- Mix in the micas using the stick blender and then add the scent blend.
- Once the soap base has reached a medium thick trace, pour it over the soap curls in your soap mold.
- Don't forget that the soap will pour a bit higher than normal due to the extra soap.
- Gently tap the soap mold on the counter to get out any air bubbles.
- Finish up as per the soap making instructions for the method you are using.
