How to make your own Luffa Soap



How to Make Luffa Soap:
(Makes 6)
Ingredients:
650g Soap Base
20ml Essential Oils of Choice
1/2 tsp Mica Powder (for color of choice)
Dried Flower Petals (optional)
6 Slices of Luffa

Instructions:
Melt the soap base in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each time, until smooth.
Mix the essential oils and mica powder together to help disperse the color evenly, then add this mixture to the melted soap base.
If using, mix through the dried flower petals.
Place a slice of luffa in each mold.
Pour the soap mixture over the luffa slices, filling each mold.
(Optional) Spritz the top of the soaps with isopropyl alcohol to remove bubbles.
Add more flower petals to the top if you like.
Leave the soaps to set for 2-4 hours.
Once set, remove from molds and store in sealed containers.
