Even without much experience, you can prepare an enchanting soap with an intense caramel scent in the comfort of your home, which will delight all your senses. The result will be a beautiful handmade little soap that is also perfect as a small gift.
Caramel soap is made without the direct use of lye (sodium hydroxide). Its base consists of soap bases that are already pre-prepared blocks of soap, which you cut to the desired weight and melt either by briefly heating in the microwave or in a water bath. Below you will find a complete list of ingredients, while the breakdown for the individual layers of the soap is given in the procedure so that the desired pattern is achieved. The soap consists of four differently coloured layers of the same weight. The amount of ingredients you need to make the soap depends on the number and size of the individual bars; ideally, use a rectangular silicone mould (for example placed in a wooden tray), which will make it easier to remove the finished soap after it has set. In the picture you can see bars of approximately 5x4x2 cm, weighing about 50 g each.ZENIOSOAPBASE soap base, non-sweating, transparentZENIOSOAPBASE soap base, white Caramel fragrance oilColourant for soap base ZENICOLOR SOLO, chocolateIPA (isopropyl alcohol) in spray

For a possible substitution of ingredients or adaptation of the recipe to your own requirements, it is good to know what role the individual ingredients play in the recipe. Thanks to this, you can create beautiful homemade soaps that will delight not only you but also those around you.
For the production of caramel soap, the soap base ZENIOSOAPBASE was used, for its good compatibility with the respective colourant. The non-sweating transparent soap base was chosen in order to minimise the formation of sweating on the surface of the finished soap (you can also prevent it by wrapping the finished soap in plastic film).However, you can also choose other types of transparent and white soap bases. If possible, reach for bases that set more slowly, so that you have enough time to mix in the colourant and fragrance oil before the base sets again. Having slower-setting bases is therefore particularly worthwhile if you are a beginner. When producing larger batches, you can, on the other hand, choose faster-setting bases, which will shorten the waiting time for the individual layers to set.
The ZENIOCOLOR SOLO colourant combines well with the selected soap bases, but it is also possible to mix it into other soap bases. An alternative to this colourant is to use mica powder in a brown shade. However, be aware that you will obtain different shades. At the same time, mica is shimmery, and therefore the finished soap will be slightly shimmery.
The bubble remover, or IPA, is an indispensable helper in the production of soaps from soap bases. It not only helps to remove bubbles, but its spraying onto the mould or the previous layer also ensures that the new layer adheres reliably.
The caramel fragrance oil was chosen for its pleasant, soothing sweet scent. However, you can replace it with any other fragrance, either in the form of a fragrance oil or an essential oil. Essential oils of a darker colour can, however, slightly change the final shade of the soap, especially of the white layer, so in this case it is better not to add them to the mixture for the last layer. 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, the final result can be influenced by many factors, such as humidity, temperature, quality of the ingredients or their storage. Before you use any ingredient to manufacture a cosmetic product, familiarise yourself with its properties, recommended usage level, storage conditions and safe handling. Every ingredient may have the potential to cause an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals, therefore before using the product we recommend finding out whether you are allergic to any of the ingredients or to the overall product, for example by means of a patch test. If you have very sensitive or very acne-prone skin, or if you have other skin or health problems, we recommend that you consult a medical professional before applying a new product to your skin, whether it is a homemade cosmetic product, a pure ingredient or a commercially available product.
