Tips for Swirling Melt & Pour Soap Like a Pro - Temperature, Color + More | Bramble Berry

Learn how to swirl melt and pour soap like a pro! Melt and pour is a fun way to make your own soap at home. It's easy to customize with colors, fragrances, and additives. Swirling different colors is a popular and beautiful design choice for melt and pour soap, but it can be a little tricky.

The key to swirling melt and pour soap is temperature and patience. The temperature of melt and pour soap greatly affects the consistency, which affects the look of your swirls. The hotter the soap is, the more liquid it is, and the more it will swirl together. As the soap cools, it gets thicker, and the colors tend to stay more separate. Let’s take a look at how this impacts swirled melt and pour soap.

Melt and Pour Temperature Guide:
• Around 140-150 degrees F: The colors swirl together a lot and the swirls become quite wispy.
• Around 120-130 degrees F: The colors will be a little more separate and not blend together, so you’ll see more defined swirls.
• Around 110-120 degrees F: The soap colors stay almost completely separate, with little to no blending. The colors may even stay on the same sides of the mold that they were poured into.
