Over the Rainbow Swirl Melt and Pour Soap Recipe

Inspired by the succulent notes of Over the Rainbow fragrance oil, this soap is bursting with colorful swirls.

Add a touch of whimsy to your DIY soap with About the Rainbow fragrance oil. This fragrance opens with a trio of citrus fruits – sparkling bergamot, clementine and pomelo. A heart of fruity apple, soft apricot and white strawberry is followed by a delicate base of amber blossom, sandalwood and musk.

Ingredients

• 1400 gr Swirl pouring soap
• 40 gr Over the rainbow fragrance oil
• Warm pink Mica
• Exuberant Orange Mica
• Yellow Mica
• Green Mica
• Blue Mica
• Purple Mica

Prepare

Prepare color: Put 1/4 teaspoon of unmixed orange mica, yellow mica, green mica and blue mica in separate soap dishes. Put 1/2 teaspoon pink mica and purple mica in 2 separate soap dishes. Mix the mica in little isopropanol so that it becomes an even mixture. This makes it easier to mix.

Fragrance Oil Preparation: Measure out 40 gr About rainbow fragrance oil into a glass container suitable for fragrance oil and set aside.

How to make Over the Rainbow soap

Step 1

Chop 1400 grams of swirl pouring soap into small, even pieces. Put them in a large heatproof container. Melt in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.

Step 2

Divide the batter evenly among the trays containing the mica – each tray contains about 235 gr of soap. Use a spatula or whisk to stir the mica into the batter until there are no large lumps.
TIP: The large mixing bowl will be used again, so make sure it is scraped as clean of as much soap batter as possible.

Step 4

Add the fragrance oil evenly to each container of soap – you can also do it by eye. From light to dark, quickly whisk in the fragrance oil.

You want the soap to be smooth and have no texture.

Step 5

Start pouring 1/3 of the pink soap into the large bowl and run it down the side. While pouring, count 1, 2, 3 to keep each pour even. Continue pouring 1/3 of the orange, yellow, green, blue and purple soap batter into the bowl. Repeat this process until all the soap is layered in the large mixing bowl.

Step 6

Once all the soap is in the large bowl, start pouring the soap into one corner of the mold. Pour slowly and count to 1,2,3, then raise the bowl to start pouring and then start again. Continue until all the soap is poured into the mold.

Step 7

Tap the mold on the countertop to remove any air bubbles. Spray with 99% isopropyl alcohol to prevent soda ash.

Step 8

Let the soap cool and cure completely for several hours or overnight at most. Remove from the mold and enjoy. To prevent glycerin dew, wrap each soap in plastic.
