Method

IMPORTANT- This mixture can be very strong smelling so ensure there is adequate ventilation in your workspace, wear a mask when working with the powders as they can irritate your lungs.

  1. Weigh out the first 9 ingredients into the pyrex jug or stainless bowl and place into/over the saucepan (double boiler method) to melt until liquid
  2. Weigh the fragrance/essential oil, Microcare PEHG in the small beaker and set aside
  3. When the first mix has melted take off the heat and set aside to cool down a little, when it has cooled but is still liquid add the beaker ingredients and stir well. If you are adding mica/pigment add this now. If it starts to set just pop it back onto the heat briefly
  4. Pour into your chosen mould and leave it overnight to set. The next day pop it out of the mould and set aside to dry for a week if you can, this will help it to last longer.
  5. To use swipe over wet hair in the shower until it starts to lather up, massage the lather around then rinse off. Follow with our conditioner bar!

Double Boiler

Half fill a saucepan with water, bring to the boil and reduce to a gentle simmer.

Place the ingredients into a pyrex jug or stainless-steel jug small enough to fit inside the saucepan and best if the handle goes over the outside of the pot. If using a bowl carefully place the bowl on top of the saucepan.

Substitutions:
