Animal Print Melt and Pour Bars Tutorial

Filed Under: Melt & Pour Soap

Animal Print Melt and Pour Bar TutorialZebras, alligators and leopards…oh my! This melt and pour project is straight from an African safari. Made with the Animal Print Tray Mold, this project creates nine bars of soap with three different animal prints. Each print is filled in with various colors using a dropper for precise color placement. Scented with Sandalwood Vanilla Fragrance Oil, these bars smell warm, creamy and woodsy.

For this project, having a spray bottle of 99% isopropyl alcohol is a must. Rubbing alcohol helps layers of melt and pour stick together. The alcohol also helps disperse any bubbles that can occur after pouring. I recommend putting it into a spray bottle to make spraying easy.

Argan & Sandalwood Vanilla Lotion Bar

Filed Under: Bath & Body Tutorials

The cold months take a toll on the skin, making moisturizing products a crucial step in winter skincare routines. When skin becomes dry and needs extra TLC, lotion bars made from luxurious oils are a fantastic option. Created with argan oil, mango butter and cocoa butter, these Argan and Sandalwood Vanilla Lotion Bars defend skin from the elements.

Argan oil, mango butter and cocoa butter are all amazing ingredients for the skin. Argan oil absorbs quickly and is full of vitamin E and essential fatty acids. Mango and cocoa butters  are both rich, solid butters, and help to create a barrier to protect skin.

Scented with Sandalwood Vanilla Fragrance Oil, these lotion bars leave a warm, creamy and slightly spicy scent on the skin (don’t use too much, or it can smell a littler perfume-y). The Batik Dome Flexible Mold results in an intricate design, and releases the bars easily. Simply apply the bar directly to the skin, and massage in to help absorb.
