Recipe: Apricot Melt-and-Pour Soap Bar

Create a beautiful and simple soap bar with a rich apricot color that will delight your customers. This recipe is perfect for beginners and requires minimal effort.

Ingredients:

• 100 g Clear or white melt-and-pour soap base

• 1–3 drops Apricot Gel Dye

• 10 drops of your favorite fragrance oil (e.g., Peach or Mango)

Instructions for Preparation: Melt the Base: Cut the soap base into small cubes and place them in a heat-resistant container. Melt the soap in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until it is fully liquid. Alternatively, use a double boiler on the stovetop.

Add the Color and Fragrance: Once the soap base is completely melted and liquid, add 1-3 drops of the Apricot Gel Dye. Stir well until the color is evenly distributed. Add the fragrance oil and stir again.

Pour the Soap: Carefully pour the colored and scented soap mixture into your desired soap mold.

Cool and Harden: Allow the soap to cool and harden completely at room temperature or by placing it in the refrigerator. This may take a few hours.

Unmold and Enjoy: Once the soap is completely firm, carefully unmold it. Your vibrant new soap bar is ready to be used or packaged for sale.

Recommendations:

• Color Intensity: The number of drops of dye can be adjusted to achieve your desired shade. Start with just one drop and add more as needed.

• Mixing: Stir slowly to avoid creating air bubbles in your soap.

• Storage: Store your finished soap in an airtight container to prevent sweating.
