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, workspace and sanitized equipment.
  1. Add 20 oz. of cut up Basic Clear MP Soap Base to a microwave-safe measuring cup. Heat in microwave until soap has completely melted.   
  2. Stir in 10 drops of Lemon Yellow Liquid color. Add more if a darker shade is desired.
  3. Add 0.60 oz. Verbena & Lemon Fragrance Oil and gently stir. 
  4. Pour soap into four cavities of soap mold. Spritz the top with rubbing alcohol to break up any air bubbles that may appear. Let harden.
  5. Remove from mold and set aside.
  6. Repeat above steps using 20 oz. Basic White MP Soap Base, 0.60 oz. fragrance and 25 drops of color. (A white base will take much more color to achieve a darker shade.) Let soap harden.
  7. Unmold then wrap all bars in airtight packaging. 
  8. Label product accordingly.
To Use: Lather onto skin and rinse with warm water.
