Ingredients Overview
- 8 oz goat milk melt and pour soap base – creamy, nourishing, gentle
- 8 oz clear glycerin melt and pour soap base – translucent and ideal for embeds
- 1 tsp purple mica – adds shimmer and floral color
- 1 tsp green mica – soft botanical contrast
- 10 drops lavender essential oil – calming, floral
- 5 drops geranium essential oil – balancing, slightly rosy
- Small flower soap embed molds – to create mini floral accents
- 1/2 tsp cosmetic-grade glitter (optional) – for sparkle and glow
Instructions
- Melt goat milk soap base in a microwave-safe container in 30-second bursts until liquified.
- Stir in lavender and geranium essential oils. Set aside.
- Melt clear glycerin base in a separate container. Divide into two bowls.
- Add purple mica to one bowl and green mica to the other. Optionally, mix in cosmetic glitter.
- Pour colored soap into mini flower molds and let harden (about 30 minutes).
- Once set, place one flower embed face-down in each cavity of your soap mold.
- Pour a thin layer of colored glycerin soap over the embeds to anchor them.
- Let set slightly, then fill the mold with goat milk soap base, pouring gently.
- Allow the soap to harden completely for 1–2 hours.
- Unmold and store in a cool, dry place.
How to Use It
- Lather with warm water, apply to face or body, and rinse.
- Ideal for daily use and all skin types.
- Always perform a patch test before first use.
Storage & Shelf Life
- Store in a dry, cool area away from direct sunlight.
- Wrap in plastic or store in an airtight container to preserve scent and clarity.

Customization Tips
- For exfoliation: Add a pinch of ground oats or dried flower petals.
- For scent variation: Use rose, chamomile, or neroli essential oils.
- For design variety: Use different mica shades or embed shapes.
- For skin soothing: Add 1 tsp of aloe vera gel or vitamin E oil.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pouring too hot, which can melt or distort embeds.
- Skipping the set step, causing embeds to float.
- Using too much mica, which may dull transparency.
- Overheating soap base, which can reduce clarity or scorch oils.
- Unmolding too early, leading to warping or breaking.

3. Can I use fragrance oils instead of essential oils? Yes, just ensure they are skin-safe and compatible with melt and pour bases.
