Equipment

  • Round silicone mold

  • Plastic take out container
  • Bags and ribbon for gift wrapping (optional)

Materials

  • Clear melt and pour soap
  • Natural Loofah
  • Essential or Fragrance Oils
  • Food or soap coloring

Instructions

  • Place the loofah into some water to rehydrate. Allow it to dry.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the loofah into slices that will fit in the mold.
  • Cut the melt and pour soap into smaller pieces.
  • Place the cut up soap into a microwave-safe container and microwave for 1 -2 minutes in 30-second intervals until melted. Stir after each interval.
  • Add 1 -2 drops of food coloring and stir.
  • Add up to 50 drops of scented oil in 20 drop intervals until it smells just right to you.

Notes

Depending on the essential oil or fragrance oil you may need more or less than 50 drops.
You can use special soap dye but 1-2 drops of food-safe color is safe. However, it may not last as long.
