2. Take out the brown soap from the mold when it is fully hardened. Now, cut it into small pieces or in whatever design you like.


3.  Spray the brown soap chunks with rubbing alcohol and place them into the mold. Make sure you fill the mold till the top with these chunks.

4. Melt the ultra white melt and pour soap base in the microwave (or double boiler) and add 1 ml of vanilla fragrance to it.

5. Pour the white soap base slowly into the mold.Make sure the base is not too hot as it can melt the brown soap chunks. 

Tip :  To ensure that the base is not too hot, put your finger in the base. If you are able to put it in comfortably, then your base is ready to be poured.



6. Spray the top of the mold with rubbing alcohol to remove any air bubbles present.

7. When the soap is fully hardened, simply press the mold and pop it out. Peel of the top layer with the help of a scraper.

Variation : Try using Cocoa powder mixed with Glycerin to color your soap brown. Yummm!!!
