For “Grape” soap you need:
1. White soap base.
2. Transparent soap base.
3. Any base oils (shea butter, grape seed, peach, etc.).
4. Flavorings (in my case “Grape”), instead of flavorings you can use natural essential oils (orange, lemon, lavender...).
5. Soap mold “Oval” or “Rectangle”. Or a plastic rectangular container.
6. Silicone mold for making decorations for baked goods.
7. Cosmetic dyes.
8. Wooden skewer.
9. Alcohol.
10. Dishes for melting the base.
11. Knife.
We will prepare soap in two different ways. In both cases it turns out beautiful and interesting. For the first and second methods we will need bunches of grapes. To make them, we melt a white base, add cosmetic dye to it (I use “Pink Flamingo”), stir it with a wooden skewer and pour it into a silicone mold.In such forms, the soap hardens quickly and is very easily pulled out of the mold. We make at least 15 grapes.
Method number 1. This will be a solid bar of soap. Spray the soap mold thoroughly with alcohol. We heat the white soap base, enrich it with oils and flavor it. Pour a layer of white base into the mold (about 5 mm in height) and leave until completely dry. When the layer is dry, place the grapes on it in random order. Fill the top with a transparent base, slightly tinted lilac and enriched with oils. Important! The transparent base must be warm, otherwise it may melt the grapes. We wait for the soap to dry completely and cut it off a little on top with a sharp knife.
Method number 2. Using this method we will get several small bars of soap at once. For this we need a deep and even rectangular shape. Not necessarily special. I used a clean processed cheese box. Sprinkle it with alcohol and pour in the first layer. Light green in color, determine the thickness yourself, it depends on the depth of your form. The first layer should dry completely, then place the grapes on the first layer. We do this taking into account the fact that we will cut the block. Pour a transparent soap base, slightly tinted lilac, on top. The clear base should be warm, not hot. We wait for the bar to dry completely, take it out of the mold, lightly trim the sides and cut it into separate pieces! Wonderful grape soap is ready!
