Simply Earth’s Melt & Pour Soap Review

I’m always doing fun crafts and recipes with my son, and a few weeks ago, he asked if we could make soap, so I was very excited when the great folks at Simply Earth offered to send me samples from their new Melt & Pour Soap line!  The line includes everything you need to make soap!  They offer glycerin soap base, shea soap base, a 4 inch soap mold, and 6 cavity soap mold.  This combined with their fabulous line of essential oils adds up to great soap making!  And if you don’t know anything about making soap, their websit and youtube page is full of great recipes and tutorials.

Now let’s learn more about the new melt and pour soap products and check out a recipe!  They sent me a great sample box that included the following:

  • 2 lb glycerin soap base
  • 2 lb shea soap base
  • Mica powder sample kit
  • 4″ Loaf mold
  • 6 cavity soap mold
  • Essential oils: Good vibes, Lava, Pine, Timber, Tranquility and Unicorn.

My Thoughts

I personally loved going through this box!  I’m always interested in making soaps and other items with essential oils, but it can be a little intimidating when you don’t know much about it.  Luckily the people at Simply Earth make it easy by supplying you with great recipe cards and video tutorials that are easy to follow!

And the recipes are always so unique.  This soap box had something for every member of the family from small kids to the ladies and gentlemen out there.  And apart from the great oils included, they included mica powders in a variety of bright colors to spark your imagination and really get creative with your recipes.  (I see this box a great opportunity to make some fun and unique homemade Christmas soap gifts this year!)

As someone who’s never actually made soap before, I was interested to find out that the different colors in people’s homemade soaps come mixing the colors sepately and then layering them in.

My favorite recipe to try was their Unicorn Confetti Soap.  This was a really fun recipe to do with my son, because we got to layer pretty rainbow colors and then chop up the pieces to create the confetti effect.  And it is made with Simply Earth’s Unicorn Blend Oil, which includes Pink Grapefruit, Lemon, Sweet Orange, and Jasmine oils! Check it out!

Unicorn Confetti Soap

Unicorn Confetti Soap

Ingredients:

6 cavity soap mold

2 lb shea butter melt & pour soap base

2 lb glycerin melt & pour soap base

Fuchsia mica powder

Yellow gold mica powder

Indigo blue mic powder

Tiger orange mica powder

Unicorn Essential Oil Blend

alcohol (in spray bottle)

Directions:

First cut the shea butter soap base in half. Take one half of the soap and cut it into three equal pieces. Tkae two of these pieces of use in your recipe. Store the rest of the soap for future recipes.

Chop your shea butter soap into 1 inch cubes. Divide these cubes into 4 equal parts.

Melt one portion of the shea butter soap base.

Add 15 drops of Unicorn Essential Oil Blend and a dash of yellow mica powder to the melted soap and stir.

Pour the soap into one of the soap cavities in your soap mold. Spritz the soap with alcohol to prevent air bubbles.

Repeat steps 3-5 for each of the portions of soap you cut in step 2 using a different mica color each time.

Allow the soap to completely set.

While your soap is setting, cut the 2 lb block of glycerin melt and pour soap in halves. Take one half of your soap and cut it into 1 inch cubes. Store the remaining soap for future recipes.

Once your bars of colored soap have set cut up each bar of soap into small confetti-like pieces.

Mix up your soap pieces and fill each cavity of your soap mold. Spritz the soap with isopropyl alcohol.

Melt the glycerin soap base.

Fill the mold to the rest of the way with the melted glycertin soap.

Allow your soap to cool and set. Once finished, remove from the mold and enjoy your fun Unicorn Confetti Soap.
