Instructions in 7 steps Both soap versions - transparent and opaque - are cast in the mould in two layers. The transparent version is coloured in yellow beforehand.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Stove, melt, melting pot, scale, small plastic container, stirring sticks or teaspoon, tablespoon

And this is how it works:

Step 1

Melt about 50g of the transparent creative-soap in a water-bath on the stove (max. 60° - do not boil).

Step 2

After a complete melting, stir 4 drops of the soap colour lemon and 2 drops of the fragrance oil lime into the liquid soap. Therefore, use a plastic container, a wooden spatula or a teaspoon.

Step 3

Now cast the soap in the casting mould and let the soap cool down somehow until a sort of curd forms on the surface.

Step 4

Melt about 20g of the opaque soap and pour it over the barely dried soap on which after about 10 minutes a sort of curd has been formed on a surface.

Step 5

Let the soap dry well out (at least 2-3 hours, ideally one day). Demould the soap by a slight pressure.

Tip: Let the finished soap dry at best for 2-3 weeks; the longer it ripens, the firmer becomes.

Step 6

Depending on the temperature and airiness, the soap can perspire. We therefore recommend to wrap the soap after its demoulding in a transparent foil for flowers (cellophane).

Step 7

Clean the soap casting mould and the pots with hot water.
