Even without much experience, you can make a charming soap with an intense caramel scent in the comfort of your own home that will delight all your senses. The result will be a beautiful handmade soap that is also perfect as a small gift.
Caramel soap is made without the direct use of hydroxide. It is based on soap masses, which are pre-prepared blocks of soap that you cut to the desired weight and melt either by briefly heating in the microwave or in a water bath. See below for the total list of ingredients, with the breakdown for each layer of soap given as you proceed to achieve the desired pattern. The soap consists of four different coloured layers of equal weight. The amount of raw materials you need to make the soap depends on the number and size of the individual cubes, ideally use a rectangular silicone mould (e.g. in a wooden tray), which will make it easier to remove the finished soap once it has set. In the picture you can see the cubes are approx. 5x4x2 cm, weighing approx. 50 g each.Soap mass ZENIOSOAPBASE non-spreading, transparentSoap mass ZENIOSOAPBASE white Caramel fragrance oilSoap colorant ZENICOLOR SOLO, chocolateIPA (isopropyl alcohol) spray

In order to be able to substitute ingredients or to adapt the recipe to your own requirements, it is useful to know what role the different ingredients play in the recipe. This is how you can conjure up beautiful homemade soaps that will delight not only you, but also those around you.
ZENIOSOAPBASE soap mass has been used for the production of the caramel soap, for good compatibility with the corresponding dye. The non-sparking transparent soap mass has been chosen to minimize the formation of dew on the surface of the finished soap (this can also be prevented by wrapping the finished soap in plastic wrap).However, you can also choose other types of translucent and white soaps. If possible, reach for soaps that set more slowly to give you enough time to mix in the colouring and fragrance oil before the soap hardens again. Having a slower setting mass is especially worthwhile if you are a beginner. If you are making larger batches, you can instead reach for faster setting compounds, which will reduce the time you have to wait for the layers to set.
ZENIOCOLOR SOLO colorant combines well with selected soap masses, but can also be mixed into other soap masses. An alternative for this colorant is to use mica powder in brown. However, count on getting different shades. At the same time, mica is shimmery and therefore the finished soap will also be slightly shimmery.
A bubble remover or IPA is an essential helper when making soaps from soap masses. Not only does it help to remove bubbles, but spraying it on the mould or previous layer will ensure that the new layer adheres reliably.
Caramel fragrance oil was chosen for its pleasant soothing sweet scent. However, it can be substituted for any other scent, whether in fragrance or essential oil form. However, essential oils of a darker colour may slightly alter the final shade of the soap, especially the white layer, so add them to the mixture for the last layershould not be added in this case. Alternatively, you can omit the addition of fragrance or essential oil altogether.
As mentioned, you can experiment with homemade recipes to achieve the desired properties. However, many factors such as humidity, temperature, quality of ingredients and storage can affect the final result. Before using any raw material to make a cosmetic product, familiarize yourself with its properties, recommended dosage, storage conditions or safe handling. Any raw material may have the potential to cause an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals, so before using a product, we recommend that you find out if you suffer from an allergy to any of the raw materials or the overall product, e.g. by a skin test. If you have very sensitive or very acne-prone skin, or other skin and health problems, we recommend that you consult a medical professionalbefore applying a new product to your skin, whether it is a homemade cosmetic product, a pure raw material or a commercially available product.
