Ingredients 575g Baking Soda 285g Citric Acid 20g SLSA 15g Kaolin Clay 10g Sunflower Oil 5g Witch Hazel 10g Fragrance Oil  (I used Rose Gold Fragrance Oil from Brambleberry) 5g Polysorbate 80 1/4 tsp of Pink Mica  (I used Strawberry Moonshine from Mad Micas) 1/4 tsp of Gold Mica  (I used Matte Gold from Mad Micas) Directions In a large bowl, combine baking soda, citric acid, SLSA, pink mica, and kaolin clay (all dry ingredients except gold mica). Mix thoroughly and be sure to break down any clumps. I find it easiest to sift the ingredients. After mixing, add the sunflower oil, fragrance oil, and polysorbate 80 to the bowl containing the dry ingredients. In a separate container, weigh out the witch hazel then slowly pour it into the large bowl containing the other ingredients. I find it best to mix with a whisk while pouring. The mixture will begin to slowly bubble/activate but mixing while pouring will minimize this. Mix with gloved hands until your mixture can be firmly squeezed and hold together. Fill up the mold  with the mixture, be careful to not overpack (unless you want a thick Saturn ring), then press. If your bath bomb mixture starts to dry out or your bath bombs break apart, spray mixture with a very small amount of witch hazel and mix. In order to create paint for the bath bombs, mix a few drops of 91% isopropyl alcohol with a pinch of gold mica and stir until smooth and paint on with a flat and wide paint brush. Notes Sunflower oil can be substituted for grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil, safflower oil, or your favorite liquid carrier oil. If you are using the same bath bomb mold as me and need assistance, here are the instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF-xTz9J8fY . Bath bombs are best packaged in shrink wrap or stored in an airtight container. In this recipe, polysorbate 80 is used to help prevent mica from forming a color ring around the tub. To use bath bombs, add one to warm bath water and enjoy! This recipe makes 6-7 2.25” bath bombs.

If this is your first time making cold process soap, please visit this blog post first: https://www.charmedhandmade.com/post/the-beginner-s-guide-to-making-cold-process-soap-with-recipe   Discounting Fruit & Vegetable Purees for Lye Solution Since purees contain water, reduce the amount of liquid (distilled water and milk in this case) in your lye solution by the same amount of puree you’re adding. For instance, if you add 4 ounces of puree, reduce your liquid by 4 ounces. Recipe Mold Size - 65 oz Extra Skinny Soap Mold Preparing Coconut Milk In order to prepare your coconut milk for soap-making, you will need to pour it into ice trays and let it freeze. I used   silicone ice trays  for easy removal. Doing this step helps keep the coconut milk from scorching when the lye is added. Preparing Mango Puree In order to puree the mango, p eel the mango and chop it into chunks then place the diced mango into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Ingredients Lye Solution Distiller Water - 4.21 oz Frozen Coconut Milk - 4.21 oz Lye - 6.12 oz Oils Olive Oil - 25.52 oz Coconut Oil - 10.12 oz Apricot Kernel Oil - 5.28 oz  Castor Oil - 3.08 oz Additives Fragrance Oil - 1.93 oz Mango Puree - 4 oz Orange Mica - 1/4 tsp Titanium Dioxide - 1/8tsp Directions Gather your supplies. Put on your gloves, safety glasses, and long sleeves. Be sure to be in a well-ventilated area free of pets, children, or those that need supervision. Measure out the required amount of lye into a   lye safe container . Into a different lye safe container, measure out the frozen coconut milk cubes and distilled water. The total amount of liquid should be 8.42 oz. Slowly pour a small amount of lye into the liquid mixture and stir. Repeat this until your lye is fully dissolved in the water/coconut milk mixture. Set aside to cool. Always pour the lye into the liquid, never the other way around. In a heat-resistant bowl, measure and melt coconut oil. After your coconut oil is liquified, pour olive oil, apricot kernel oil and castor oil into that same heat-resistant bowl. Also, measure out your fragrance oil in a separate container and set aside. Once your oil mixture and your lye solution are both in the 75 - 85 degrees Fahrenheit range, slowly pour the lye solution into the oils and mix with a stick blender until it has formed an emulsion (can no longer be separated). This typically takes just a few seconds. Add fragrance oil, and mango puree to the batter and mix by hand with a silicone spatula or other mixing utensil. After the mango puree and fragrance oil have been stirred in, mix again with the stick blender until thin trace is achieved. Pour about 1/4th of the batter into a separate container. To the main (larger) batter, add orange mica. To the smaller batter, add titanium dioxide. You will need disperse the titanium dioxide in small amount of distilled water first if water soluble or in oil if not. Using separate mixing utensils, hand mix each batter. After the colorants are mixed in, stick blend white batter for a few seconds to be sure that the color is fully mixed then do the same with the orange soap batter. Once both mixtures are at medium trace, in a circular motion, drizzle the white soap batter into the larger container of orange batter. Pour the soap mixture into the mold going back and forth. After filling, be sure to scrape both containers clean and add to mold. To add texture to the top of the soap, you can massage the soap batter with a chopstick creating wave-like peaks and divots. Be sure to remove any air pockets by tapping the mold gently on a hard surface. Spray 99% isopropyl alcohol on top of the soap in order to help prevent soda ash. This step is optional. Let your soap sit in the mold for 48 hours then unmold and cut into 1 inch bars. Allow your soap to cure for 4-6 weeks on a drying rack in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Notes The liquid portion of your lye solution can be up to 100% coconut milk. Using half distilled water and half coconut milk is just my personal preference. To easily disperse the mica into the soap batter, mix it with a small amount of carrier oil first. Download the SoapCalc recipe here

Ingredients 1lb White Melt & Pour Soap (I use this brand ) 1Tbsp Ground Oats or Colloidal Oats 1Tbsp Fragrance Oil Directions Cut melt and pour soap into small pieces, add to a microwave safe container then microwave in 30 second bursts until the soap is fully melted. Once the soap is fully melted, add fragrance oil and ground oats and stir. Slowly pour mixture into soap mold then let soap sit until completely solid and unmold. Notes To grind my oats, I added rolled oats to a coffee grinder. If you do not want the oats to collect at the top of the soap, I recommend using Colloidal Oats instead. In order to get rid of air bubbles, spray 91% isopropyl alcohol on soap before letting them dry.
