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 large microwave-safe measuring cup, add 22 oz. Extra Clear soap base cut into chunks. Add 0.25 oz. Purple color block. Set aside.    
2. To microwave-safe measuring cup, add 12 oz. of Ultra White soap base cut into chunks. Set aside. 
3. To third microwave-safe measuring cup, add 6 oz. of Extra Clear soap base cut up into chunks. 
4. In a small beaker, add 1.20 oz. of Blackberry Magnolia Fragrance Oil and set aside. 
5. Place the clear soap with purple color in microwave and heat until melted. Stir and set aside. 
6. Place the cup of white soap into the microwave and heat until soap has melted. Stir and set aside.
7. Place the last cup of clear soap into microwave and heat until melted. Add Turquoise Teal mica powder and blend well.  
8. Divide the fragrance oil among the three cups of melted soap and mix well.
9. When the soap temperature of the purple and white soap cool to below 130°F, they are ready to be poured.  
10. With a measuring cup in each hand, begin to pour both soaps into the mold together. As the soaps blend together, they will create a swirl affect.
11. Holding the cup of teal soap slightly higher above the mold, pour the soap into the mold in a zigzag pattern. If a skin has formed on the purple/white soap, break through the skin with a spoon or spatula so the teal color can drop down into the soap. You can also swirl the colors slightly with a wooden skewer or chopstick. When finished, spritz top with rubbing alcohol. 
12. Add 6 oz. of cut up Ultra White soap to a deep glass bowl and heat until soap has melted.      
13. Using a hand mixer, whip the melted soap until it thickens and gets foamy. Spritz soap in mold with alcohol then pour whipped soap over the top of the loaf mold. As the soap thickens you can continue to add to the top.
14. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of Iridescent Super Sparkle Glitter over the top.
15. Let soap completely set up - about 2-3 hours. Can also be placed in refrigerator to harden faster.  
16. Carefully remove from mold. Using a mitre box, if available, cut into 1" slices.
17. Wrap in airtight packaging and label product accordingly.  

To Use: Lather onto wet skin and rinse with warm water.
