Instructions
 

  • Chop the glycerin soap into smaller chunks. Place in a microwave safe container and pour in the activated charcoal.
  • Microwave the glycerin soap until melted (only takes slightly over a minute in my microwave). Mix well, until all the activated charcoal is fully dissolved. Pour into molds slowly until nearly at the top of each cavity.
  • Allow to completely cool (yes, it is fine to carefully place them in refrigerator), then pop out of molds.

Galaxy Version

    Before pouring your soap into molds:

    • If you are using pigment powder, take a toothpick and scoop up a tiny amount. Fleck into the soap mold cavities in a random pattern. Keep it in tiny clumps.
    • Sprinkle glitter in the soap molds. Lighter tones of blues and greens are my favorite as they contrast nicely against the black of the charcoal soap. Use 2-3 complementary colors in each cavity.
    • Finish as above.

    Notes

    I used half frankincense and half orange essential oils in the plain soap and just lavender in the Galaxy soap version.
