Pour into a loaf mold (doesn’t matter what size). When cured, chop the entire thing up into smallish chunks. Now make your 2nd batch….

Have one or two disposable latex gloves handy

19 ozs. vegetable shortening

6 ozs. lye

9 ozs. ice and water

* Shea Butter (Castor & Shea melted together,

* Scoop out about a cup and a half of the mixture and place in a small bowl.

* Add to this 1 tsp Gold Mica (from MMS) and 1 tsp Mica Powder Bitter). Mix well.

* It will turn a beautiful golden yellow with teeny tiny sparkles!

To the remaining soap mixture, add ALL of your chunks from your first batch.

* Slip on the latex gloves.

* Spread an inch-deep layer of chunky mixture in each mold.
Shouldn’t be perfect at all – this adds to the design!)

* Scoop a small handful of the golden mixture and spread it on top of each layer.

* Add another layer of chunky to each one, then one more layer of golden yellow mix, then one final layer of chunky. Try to make this top layer as level as possible so you don’t lose so much when you trim the bars.

* Allow to cure and slice.

Diana O’s Citrus Splash by

Created by Diana Ossoff

-20 oz Sweet Almond Oil

-12 oz Avocado Oil

-6 oz Castor Oil 4 oz Citrus Splash F.O. (from scentshack.com)

-20 oz Coconut Oil

-8 oz Jojoba Oil

-16 oz Pam Oil

-1 oz stearic acid

-3 oz Emu Oil

-86 total oz of oils

-31 oz distilled water used (MMS calls for 32 oz)

-11.52 oz lye (I wanted between 5 – 6 superfat range)

-1 rounded tablespoon ultramarine blue oxide mixed with

-1oz distilled water

“It turned a very pretty light blue color and smells wonderful. I go to light trace and add the F.O. and I typically don’t suffer with seizing. I like to add different color oxides and swirl it. It typically comes out translucent with the swirl in it – very pretty.”
