Essential oil with orange aroma is excellent in soaps. It is serves as a colorant and gives the soap a citric scent loved by many. This melt and pour process is adequate for beginners and takes around two hours to complete, yielding about 3 pounds of soap. The floral embed should be prepared in advance, and based on personal choice other designs are equally suitable. Melting should be done around 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature needs to be controlled so as not to melt the embed. To ensure that the layers adhere to each other, use 99% alcohol solution, to be applied as a spray.

Key Takeaways:

  • This soap’s flower embed needs to be made ahead of time so it can cool and firm.
  • On separate occasions, a microwave is used to melt pieces of the base soap and the two embeds.
  • Spritzing with 99% isopropyl alcohol is necessary to get rid of bubbles.
