Strawberry Swirl Soaps

Here's a sneaky-peek at the making of my newest soaps - Strawberry Swirl Shea Butter Soap.  This is one of my fav melt and pour soap techniques.  It's a little fiddly, but fun and the results are so cute!!  Here's how I do it...

First...I weigh the soap and get my soap mold ready.  (Yes, most of my tools and equipment are pink.)

After the soap is melted in the microwave, I add fragrance and color and stir.  One half stays white, the other becomes a pretty pale pink with a few drops of non-bleeding soap colorant. 

I check the temperature.  I need the the two colors of soap to be around the same temperature.  If it's too hot or they aren't close in temp, the colors will just melt together and not have a cool, swirly look.  130F will do the trick!

Let's pour! 


Ok, so I made a little bit of a mess on that first one.


I flash a silly smile at the photographer while I'm waiting for my soaps to cool...

And they're done!  What do you think?
