I came across a recipe for a loofah soap, I have been making these for a long time, however I was using the tradtional 'loofah' this is slightly different and looks fab, using a nylon scrunchie and so practical too! You will need to buy a nylon scrunchie and a mould, I would use my silicone muffin moulds (bought from Poundland store for yes a £1.00) but any soap mould will do.
You will need
Melt and Pour Soap Base
Colour (Optional)
Fragrance or essential oil (must be a Cosmetic Approved one)
Scrunchie
Soap Mould
Instructions
- Chop your melt and pour soap base into peieces and melt in the microwave, using short bursts of 10 seconds only until melted
- Add your chosen colour
- Add your fragrance/essential oils remember to keep within recommended guidlines of the manufacturer (too much and your soap will be sticky and horrible)
- Pour your melted soap base into the muffin cups / or mould until approx ½ full
- Place the loofa into the mould & compress with your fingers or if too hot use a spoon, ensure that the part of the scrunchie has absorbed some of the base.
- Pour the remaining soap base over the scrunchie and leave to set for approx 2 hours (or longer)
- When hardened, simply pop out of your mould and you have a fab 'Flowering Loofa Soap!
