Makes approx. 6 soaps

450gm		SFIC Low Sweat White
13.5gm		Choice of fragrance (Ocean Rose)
¼ tsp		Iridescent Copper Mica
Handful		Pink Rose Buds
		Isopropyl Alcohol

Equipment

Purex Jug

Stirrer

Sift/Strainer

Digital Scales

6 Cavity Square Mould

Spray Bottle for Isopropyl Alcohol

Method

Cut up soap block into small cubes and melt in a pyrex jug in the microwave (for 30 seconds then stir and continue in 10sec bursts until melted) or in a double boiler until liquid.
Measure out fragrance. Keep gently stirring the soap base so as to avoid a skin forming on top.
Add the fragrance mixture and mix well.
Pour soap into mould and lightly spray the top with IPA to disperse air bubbles.
Place 3 or 4 rose buds over the top of the soap to your liking, only pushing down lightly to fix (see note below)
Using a sift/strainer sprinkle the mica gently over the top.
Leave to set for 1 day and gently unmould.

Note: Dried flowers inside the soap can go brown after a couple of weeks, try to insert the rose buds (or dried flowers of choice) just on the top of the soap
