Recipe: Apricot and Honey Glycerin Bar

Create a cheerful, hydrating glycerin product using the Apricot Gel Colorant for a bright, consistent color.

Ingredients:

100 g Clear Melt-and-Pour Base; 5 g Liquid Honey (natural additive); 5 drops Apricot Gel Colorant; 5 drops Honey Fragrance Oil or Apricot Fragrance Oil; Silicon Mold.

Instructions for Preparation:

Melt the base using a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler until fully liquid. Avoid boiling.

Add the Additives: Once the base is liquid, gently stir in the liquid honey and the fragrance oil. Mix slowly to minimize the creation of air bubbles.

Stir slowly until the pigment is fully dispersed, achieving a uniform, bright orange-yellow color.

Unmold: Once fully hard, gently unmold the bar.

Recommendations:

Intensity Control: To achieve a lighter, translucent color, use only 2-3 drops of the colorant. For a deeper, more opaque tone, use up to 7-8 drops.

Fragrance Pairing: The Apricot Gel Colorant pairs wonderfully with fruity or honey-based fragrance oils to create a cohesive sensory experience.

Preventing Bubbles: After pouring into the mold, quickly spray the surface with rubbing alcohol to pop any residual air bubbles.
