Setup for Peppermint Ice Soap

A wintery wake up for your shower that's cool to look at and cool to wash with, this melt and pour soap making project uses clear soap base with blue and pearlescent colorants to make a nifty icy bar of soap.

For this project you'll need:

  • Clear melt and pour soap base - For this project I used 48 oz. of soap base total
  • A blue soap colorant, preferably clear, ideally with a mica undertone - I used Sapphire Gel Tone Colorant from SunFeather Soap Company
  • A white pearlescent mica colorant - I used "Polar Ice" mica from Supplies by Star
  • Peppermint essential oil or another "cool" or "icy" fragrance oil
  • A basic soap mold - my mold here makes 12 4 oz. bars
  • Basic melt and pour soap making equipment (measuring cup, scale, knives, whisk)
  • A basic understanding of Melt and Pour Soap Making
