Instructions
Using a soap mold cutter or a knife, cut the melt and pour soap base into 1" x 1" cubes.
Next add two of the cubes into a microwave-safe measuring cup. Set the rest aside.
Place the microwave-safe cup into the microwave and heat on high for approximately 10 seconds. Remove the cup and stir well. Place back into the microwave and heat again for 10 seconds, remove and stir, then if needed, heat again for 10 seconds. The key to remember is to not overheat the melt and pour soap base.
Then add in the white granulated sugar and then pour in the olive oil and stir using a wooden stir stick until everything is combined.
Place back into the microwave for an additional 10 seconds so everything can be softened up again.
Next, remove the cup carefully from the microwave and quickly add in the Orange Mica Powder and the Sweet Orange Essential Oil and the Peppermint Essential Oil.
Then pour the soap into the molds.
Let the soap mixture set for at least 2 hours or until the soap has hardened.
