Now on to the mica bunny shaped soap recipe…
Mica Bunny Soap Ingredients:
● 2/3 cup Shea Butter Glycerin Soap Base
● (2) .15cc scoops Cosmetic Grade Mica Powder (Hollywood Pink was used in this tutorial)
● ½ tsp Sweet Almond Oil
● 3 drops Lavender Essential Oil
Mica Bunny Soap Mise en Place:
● Large Glass Measuring Cup
● Silicone or Wooden Spoon or Stir Stick
● Silicone Bunny Mold
● Rubbing Alcohol (and spray bottle if needed)
Mica Bunny Soap Directions:
Mica Powders will stain so make sure you lay newspaper down before using.
● Lay down a covering to protect your work surface.
● Melt approximately 6-8 ice cube sized blocks of soaps in the microwave in a glass measuring cup (more or less until you have 2/3 cup of melted soap).
● Once completely melted, mix in your sweet almond oil and essential oil until combined.
● Now add in your mica powder and mix with a craft stick until the mica powder is completely dissolved.
● Carefully pour the melted soap into your bunny molds and lightly mist with rubbing alcohol to prevent air bubbles from forming on the surface (optional).
● Freeze for 15-20 minutes and carefully remove each bunny from the molds (they should pop right out of you press up on the bottom).
● If presenting as gifts, you can tie with a ribbon, wrap with cellophane and a ribbon, etc.
● These are perfect for display for spring or Easter holiday in a guest bathroom (I can’t be the only one that does that!), gift giving, or to set in a linen closet for a wonderful smelling scent, as well as everyday use!
