But the most important condition is the presence of desire, good mood and complete confidence in ultimate success!
To make soap with swirls we will need:
- transparent soap base - 170 g
- white soap base – 260 g
- fragrance or cosmetic fragrance
- dye (pigment paste or gel dye)
- glycerin – 1 teaspoon
- any water-soluble oil (almond, peach, apricot, jojoba, grape seed oil) – 1 teaspoon
- alcohol
- containers for melting soap base
- scales
- silicone mold with smooth edges
- wooden or glass stirring rods
- spray bottle for alcohol
So, let's proceed directly to making soap.
1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients.

2. Measure and weigh the white and clear soap base. We cut it into even, small cubes and place it in heat-resistant containers for melting.

3. There are two ways to melt. Either in the microwave or on the stove using a water bath. The soap base should melt completely. To prevent lumps from forming in it, you need to stir it periodically with a wooden or glass rod. The melted base is similar to ordinary water. You also need to monitor the temperature to prevent overheating.

4. Divide the melted white base into two parts and pour into separate glasses. Paint one cup yellow, the other purple. To do this, you need to drop a few drops of cosmetic dye into the base and immediately stir thoroughly. The amount of dye depends on the desired color saturation. But usually 3-6 drops are enough. We also add flavoring, water-soluble almond oil and glycerin. Mix.

5. Sprinkle the bottom and walls of the silicone mold with alcohol and pour out the melted transparent base. Spray the surface with alcohol.

6. Wait until the transparent base is covered with a thin film and thickens slightly, and then carefully and smoothly pour 1/3 of the purple base into it. It should slightly “pierce” the bottom layer. Spray its surface with alcohol.
7. Then do the same with the prepared yellow base.

8. In this way, you need to alternate several layers, making sure they flow into each other and not forgetting to spray each new layer with alcohol.

9. Leave the soap to harden for about 1 hour, then carefully remove it from the mold and cut it.
