Directions:
NOTE: If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend you wear a hairnet, gloves and a mask. We also recommend a clean apron and workspace.
  1. To microwave-safe measuring cup, add 4 oz. cut up clear soap. Heat in microwave for 20-30 seconds or until melted.
  2. Add drops of blue liquid color to reach deep blue shade.
  3. Spritz anchor area of each soap cavity with alcohol. 
  4. Using a dropper, carefully pipe colored soap into the anchor.  The mold may need to be propped on one side to fill the bottom of anchor and then the rest can be filled in. Place dropper in cup of hot water to keep it free flowing between uses. 
  5. To a large microwave-safe container, add 16 oz. of cut up oatmeal soap. Heat in microwave in 30 second increments until melted.
  6. Add fragrance oil and stir in. 
  7. When oatmeal soap has cooled to 130ºF, spritz blue anchor generously with alcohol. Carefully pour soap into each cavity. Spritz, again, and let soap harden. Can be placed in freezer for 45 minutes to help with ease in unmolding. 
  8. Carefully unmold soap and wrap in airtight packaging.
  9. Label product accordingly.
To Use: Lather onto wet skin. Rinse off with warm water.
