Tangerine-Peppermint Heart Shaped Soaps

Here is a cute idea to give as a gift for Valentine's Day!

Ingredients

Clear Glycerin Soap Base (about 4 squares will fill one sheet mold)
Red Natural Powder Soap Color
Tangerine or Orange Essential Oil
Peppermint Essential Oil
Hearts Lollipop Sheet Mold

Directions

Coat mold with cooking spray and wipe out excess. Cut soap squares into 1/2-inch chunks and place in microwave-safe bowl (we used a 1-cup pyrex measure with spout) and melt on high power for 30 seconds. Continue to heat at 10-second intervals, until completely melted, stirring after each interval. Remove from microwave and add Coloring until desired tone is achieved. Add about 2 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil and about 2 - 3 drops of Tangerine Essential Oil. Cool slightly and pour into the prepared mold. Try to avoid filling the stick channel.

Allow to harden for about 10 - 15 minutes. If any soap has entered the stick channel, simply pinch-off the excess with your fingers.

If you are looking for other recipes, check out some of the links in the side bar or check in my archive. There are alot of recipes in both places. I am always looking for new recipes to post on my blog, so please return in the future.
