Here is an easy soap project idea to get you started! Jasmine and Dead Sea Salts Soap
If you do not have Jasmine Oil or Dead Sea Salts – you can easily substitute the Jasmine for any other essential oil and substitute the Dead Sea Salts with Himalayan Pink Salts or even Epsom Salts!
For this project you will need:
- 500 grams White Soap Base
- 1 Tablespoon of Dead Sea Salts
- 1 Tablespoon of Jasmine Oil (or any other essential oil like Lavender, Bergamot, Lemongrass etc)
- Silicone Soap Mould or silicone Muffin Mould
- A few drops of soap colour (optional)
Dead Sea salts are a great natural additive because of a high concentration of magnesium in this particular kind of salt {which is more dense than normal sea salt} and it is said to have therapeutic effects, including improving skin hydration and reducing inflammation, as well as a host of other benefits.
- Cut the soap into small cubes. The base is easy to cut through–it’s almost like slicing a thick block of cheese
- Melt the soap base in a Pyrex container gently on a double boiler on your stove or in your microwave in 15 second bursts, checking and stirring the soap until it melted completely, Be careful not to stir to much otherwise you will incorporate too many air bubbles into the soap.
- Next, add your soap colour (not food colouring, soap colour is different), jasmine or other essential oil and Dead Sea Salts. Stir gently and make sure everything is mixed thoroughly
- Pour into your soap mould and wait until soap sets or becomes hard. You can speed up the process by popping your filled mould into the fridge. Once hardened – you can simply pop the soap out of the mould
- Wrap your individual soaps with Plastic Wrap or air tight container for storage.
- Place in cellophane bags, create lovely labels tied with ribbon and you have made fabulous soap gifts!
