Give a Little Love Soap 
Anne-Marie is loving our new 
Cube Silicone  Mold
and created a special little mold that makes 
embeddable  hearts
which fit perfectly in our silicone cube mold. This technique is  simple 
and the results are adorable and really easy, even for a beginner. 

See below
for complete instructions on this exclusive project  for Soap Queen 
Newsletter subscribers.

First Time Making Cold Proces Soap?: 
I strongly suggest getting a  couple of basic recipes under your belt 
before diving into this advanced recipe.  Check out Soap Queen TV on 
Cold Process
if you want to get started!  It’s a 
4 part series
that will take you through the basics (and be  sure to watch the episode on 
Lye Safety).
If you’re a book worm, Bramble  Berry also has some helpful reading on the 
cold process technique. Check out our  
E-Book on Cold Process.

Melt and Pour Prep:
ONE: Prepare your melt and pour heart soaps using  Low Sweat Clear Base and 
Electric Bubble Gum Colorant. For basics on melt and  pour soap 
click here.
Make about 18 little pink hearts. Be sure to mix  your Bubble Gum colorant 
in Liquid Glycerin (1/3 Cup of Liquid Glycerin to 1/2  teaspoon of Bubble Gum
Colorant), then added 1/4 teaspoon per pound of soap.  Check out a tutorial 
on mixing your Neon Colorants  
HERE
. 
TWO: Once the melt and pour has set-up, unmold the  soap and place one 
heart soap in the bottom of 18 cube cavities of the mold.  Make sure the flat 
side
of the soap is on the bottom. 
Optional: Using  your fingers, sprinkle a little bit of glitter into the 
mold before you pour the  CP soap batter over the top of the tiny hearts. 

Making Cold Process Soap:
ONE: Safety gear up! Make sure you’re wearing  long sleeves and put on your 
goggles and gloves (preferably super cute 
pink  goggles
from Bramble Berry). Carefully add the lye to the water (never  the other 
way around!) and mix until the water is clear, taking care to not  breathe in 
the
fumes. Set aside to cool. 
TWO: In a large heat safe  container, melt and combine the Cocoa Butter, 
Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Palm Kernel  Flakes and Rice Bran Oil. 
THREE: Mix 5 tablespoons of Sodium Lactate to the  cooled lye water then 
slowly and carefully add the lye mixture to the oils. Mix  for 20-30 seconds 
with
a stick blender. 
FOUR: Use the stick blender to  mix in 2 teaspoons of Super Pearly White 
Mica. 
TIP: Place the stick blender  on top of the pile of mica laying on top of 
the soap batter. Then sink the stick  blender to the bottom and "burp" the 
stick
blender by tilting the stick  blender and releasing the air bubbles. Then 
mix in the colorant. 
FIVE: Mix  in 3 ounce of Lemongrass Essential Oil and 2 ounces of Sage and 
Lemongrass  Fragrance Oil. Mix the soap batter for another 20-30 seconds 
until
medium  trace. 
SIX: Slowly pour the cold process soap mixture over the melt and pour  
heart soaps leaving 1/2 inch of room at the top. Keep a whisk on hand and stir  
the
soap batter if it starts to get grainy while pouring the soap.  
Optional: Sprinkle a little more glitter on the tops of the soap.
