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. Snap snowflake column mold together being sure all sides are securely fastened. Place into cup or container to keep mold upright and to catch any soap spills. 
2. To microwave-safe measuring cup, add 8.5 oz. cut up clear soap. Heat in microwave just until melted. 
3. Shake bottle of titanium dioxide well. If bottle is new, poke a hole into top of dropper applicator using a paper clip.  Add 10 drops of white color (or until desired shade is reached) along with 2 micro scoops of Sparkle White Snow Mica. Mix well.
4. Once soap has cooled to around 125°F, pour into snowflake mold. Set aside extra soap for later. Spritz top of soap with rubbing alcohol and allow to completely harden.
5. Carefully unmold soap. Trim sides of any excess soap with a soap cutter or vegetable peeler and set aside.
6. Remelt soap from earlier step and pour a second snowflake when soap has cooled to 125°F or below. Spritz with alcohol and let soap harden. Pour remaining soap into bottom of Short Loaf Mold and spritz.
7. Once second snowflake soap has been unmolded, cut each snowflake column in half. Each piece will be long enough to firmly hold in place when put into the loaf mold.
8. To microwave-safe measuring cup, add 17 oz. cut up clear soap. Heat in microwave until melted.
9. Add 0.50 oz. fragrance oil and 2-3 micro scoops of Azure Blue Mica. Stir well. More color can be added if a darker shade is desired. 
10. Spritz the white soap in mold with alcohol along with all four of the snowflakes. These should be spritzed on all sides. Place the snowflakes in desired positions in loaf mold (columns will fit against the walls and should stay set).
11. When blue soap has cooled to 125°F, slowly pour into the mold. When you have reached the top, you may need to hold the last snowflake in place so it sticks out of the mold until the soap hardens enough to hold it in place. Spritz with alcohol and sprinkle some white mica powder over the top. Let completely harden.
12. Carefully remove from mold and slice into four bars.
13. Wrap in airtight packaging and label accordingly.

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