Decorative Recipe: "Golden Butterfly" Decorative Soap

Create a unique decorative soap with a sparkling gold finish using Pearl Ex Sparkling Gold 657. This recipe is not intended for direct use of Pearl Ex within the soap's composition, but for its external decoration.

Instructions for Making Decorative Soap:

1. Preparation: Thoroughly sanitize all tools and molds.
2. Melt Soap Base: Cut the soap base into cubes. Melt it in a microwave (short bursts of 10-20 seconds, stirring constantly) or in a double boiler until liquid. Avoid overheating.
3. Add Colorant and Fragrance: If desired, add 1-2 drops of a light, clear colorant (e.g., yellow or white pearlescent, if compatible with soap) to the base. Add the fragrance oil. Stir gently, trying not to create bubbles.
4. Pour into Mold: Carefully pour the melted soap base into the mold. If bubbles appear, lightly spray the surface with isopropyl alcohol.
5. Setting: Allow the soap to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator (about 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator).
6. Demold: Once fully set, carefully remove the soap from the mold.
7. Decorate with Pearl Ex:
   • Dry Application: Dip a dry brush into Pearl Ex Sparkling Gold 657. Gently tap off any excess. Lightly brush the pigment onto the surface of the soap, especially on raised or textured areas, to highlight details. For a more intense shimmer, you can repeat.
   • Wet Application (for more durable shimmer): Mix a small amount of Pearl Ex with a drop of isopropyl alcohol to form a thin paste. Apply this paste with a brush to the desired areas of the soap. This will create a more durable and intense gold layer. Let it dry.
8. Setting Spray (optional, for extra durability): After applying Pearl Ex, you can lightly mist the soap surface with isopropyl alcohol to help the pigment adhere better.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• For Decoration, Not Inclusion: Remember that Pearl Ex is used for external decoration of soap. While it is safe for many surfaces, always check the manufacturer's information regarding its safety for use as a direct cosmetic ingredient on the skin if you plan to add it directly into soap batter or other cosmetic products for body application. For this recipe, it's used as an external decorative element.
• Pigment Storage: Store Pearl Ex tightly sealed in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent clumping.
• Economical Use: The pigment is very concentrated, so only a small amount is needed to achieve a vibrant effect.
• Creativity: Experiment with different soap molds and application techniques to create unique pieces.
• Cleaning: Tools used with the pigment are easily cleaned with soap and water.
