ONE: Chop 9 oz. of White Melt and Pour Soap Base into small, uniform cubes. Place them into a heat-safe container and melt in the microwave using 10-15 second bursts.
TWO: Add 0.2 oz. of Sweet Meyer Lemon Fragrance Oil. Use a spoon to fully incorporate the fragrance.
THREE: Add 1/2 tsp. of poppy seeds and 1/2 tsp. of lemon peel powder. Stir until all the chunks of lemon peel powder are gone.
FOUR: Check the temperature of the soap. It’s best to pour around 125-130° F so the poppy seeds don’t fall to the bottom. Once the soap is at the right temperature, pour it into each mold cavity. After each pour, spray with 99% isopropyl alcohol to get rid of bubbles.
FIVE: Continue until each cavity is full. Allow the soap to fully cool and harden for 2-4 hours, then remove from the mold. Wrap the soap in plastic wrap to prevent glycerin dew. Enjoy.
