101 Unique Soap Recipes Cookbook

Would you like to create unique and special handmade gifts? What about finding that weekend side hustle? Did you know you can make and sell beautiful hand-crafted soaps?

It’s easier than you might think!

Soapmaking may be a simple concept, but it gives us a side project where we can exercise a different part of our minds. It may have technical steps, but we also get to use our creative juices. It’s also something that you can share with your family, friends, and even customers, as they get to use and experience your products.

This book is a product of deep research, and I poured all that I know into this, but ultimately it’s just a great starting point. As with most concepts, science and technology continue to be improved and re-evaluated. There might even be a time when this book might seem outdated to people, but I do hope I’ve helped set a fantastic jumping-off point for you.

Here is what you will learn in my book at a glance:

As my gift to you, here is one of my favorite soap recipes from my book:

Crystal Geode Soap

Feel free to add any essential oil or color that you like.

What you need:

● 1lb. clear glycerin soap base

● Mica powder dye

● Cosmetic glitter

● 1 to 2 tsp. essential oil of your choice

● Hand soap mold

Directions:

1. We will be doing the melt-and-pour procedure, so chop up your soap base into small chunks to melt them evenly and quickly. Melt the chunks over really low heat. Add in your essential oil.

2. Only using about 4 molds, fill it up a third of the way with the clear soap. Spray the tops with alcohol, and let it set for about 5 minutes or until a skin forms. Add a small pinch of coloring and glitter to the remaining soap base, enough just to have a midway hue to the actual color. We are going to put a gradation of hues for a better effect. Mix it well.

3. Pour another third of the soap base over the first layer. Spray and let it harden the same way as the first layer we did. Add another pinch of color and mix it up for a deeper hue. Add more glitter if you want, but 1 pinch is enough for me.

4. Pour the last layer, spray on some more alcohol, and stash it in the fridge or freezer to fully set. This will take about 20 minutes or until the soaps are solid and can be popped out easily.

5. After setting, pop them out and cut them up into rectangular or triangular prisms, making sure to get each layer with each piece. Make them as big or as small as you like, as these will be your crystals. Cut off some of the right-angled edges to make it look like an actual quartz crystal.

6. At this point, your remaining soap base may have set a bit, so reheat it until fluid. Add more color, as this will be the base for the crystals. Fill up the first mold about a quarter of the way up, and then quickly stick in your crystals to look like the inside of a geode. You can use the offcuts to fill in gaps in the base.

7. Repeat with the rest of the molds, working at a single piece at a time since decorating can take time, and your base can stiffen up on you. Once you run out of soap base, put the whole mold into the fridge to completely harden.
