Recipe: Calming Lavender Oat Soap Bar

Create a soothing and nourishing soap bar perfect for sensitive skin, using Cremer MP 601 Melt and Pour Soap Base.

Instructions for Making "Calming Lavender Oat Soap Bar":

1. Prepare Work Area: Ensure your workspace, molds, and tools are clean and sanitized.

2. Cut Soap Base: Cut the Cremer MP 601 Melt and Pour Soap Base into small, uniform cubes (about 1-inch) for even melting.

3. Melt Soap Base: Place the soap base cubes in a microwave-safe container or a double boiler. Melt slowly, either in 30-second bursts in the microwave (stirring between bursts) or over low heat in a double boiler, until completely liquid. Avoid overheating, as this can lead to excessive bubbling.

4. Add Liquid Additives: Once melted, stir in the Sweet Almond Oil and Lavender Essential Oil. Mix gently to avoid creating too many bubbles.

5. Add Colorant and Solids: If using, add a tiny pinch of Purple Mica Powder and stir until the desired color is achieved. Then, gently fold in the Colloidal Oatmeal. If using dried lavender buds, reserve some for sprinkling on top of the poured soap.

6. Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the melted soap into your chosen soap molds.

7. Add Embellishments: If desired, sprinkle the remaining dried lavender buds on top of the poured soap before it sets.

8. Cool and Harden: Allow the soap to cool and harden completely at room temperature (this may take several hours, or you can place it in the refrigerator for faster setting). Do not put it in the freezer.

9. Unmold and Cure (optional): Once fully hardened, carefully unmold the soap bars. While melt and pour soaps do not require a cure time like cold process soaps, letting them sit for a day or two in a well-ventilated area can help them harden further and last longer.

Recommendations for Use and Application:

• Storage: Store finished soap bars in airtight containers or shrink wrap them to prevent "sweating" (glycerin drawing moisture from the air). Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Additives: The percentage of input for additives should typically be between 0.05-5% of the total soap base weight, depending on the additive and desired effect. For Cremer MP 601, the general recommendation for oils/butters is around 1-3%, and for essential/fragrance oils, 1-3% is also common. Always check specific additive guidelines.

• Temperature: Ensure the soap base is melted to its melting point of 60-65°C. When adding heat-sensitive additives like essential oils, it's best to do so when the soap has cooled slightly (around 50-55°C) to prevent their degradation, but before it starts to solidify.

• Bubbles: If you notice bubbles on the surface after pouring, lightly spritz with rubbing alcohol (91% or higher) to eliminate them.

• Molding: Use silicone molds for easy unmolding. If using plastic molds, ensure they are designed for soap making.

• Customization: This recipe is a starting point. Feel free to experiment with different essential oils, fragrance oils, natural colorants (like spirulina, turmeric), other carrier oils (jojoba, avocado), or exfoliants (coffee grounds, poppy seeds) to create your unique variations. Always research the compatibility and recommended usage rates for any new additives.
