Watermelon Soap Recipe - Don’t Use This in Soap Made For Kids

In this video I explain why I don’t use poppyseeds in some of my soaps. Below you’ll find the recipe for my watermelon soap.

***Test batching: I recommend doing a test batch if you're using a new recipe, fragrance oil, or special additives. You don't want to ruin a large batch if things don't go as planned!

********IMPORTANT: Please run this recipe through a soap calculator for your batch size. This will give you your water/lye ratio once you input your desired ratio and batch size. You can also adjust your hard to soft oil ratio to meet your preferences. ******

Additives:
Table Salt 1Tbsp for my 2300g batch to Lye Water. Adjust as needed for your batch size and preference.

The Salt allows you to unmold very quickly - 5-6 hours.

Fragrance: Watermelon by Rustic Escentuals

Colors:
Micas: Mad Mica Watermelon Crush and Lettuce Entertain You
Cocoa Powder for Brown Seeds
Titanium Dioxide: 1tsp mixed with oil for white layer

I CPOP most of my soaps (Cold Process Oven Process)
This forces gel and allows me to unmold faster, especially with the addition of salt to my lye water.
I place my soap in a preheated 170degree F oven that has been turned off. I usually keep it in for a couple of hours and then remove to cool off on the counter.
