Melt and Pour Soap Craft: How To Make Sugar Scrub Soaps From Melt and Pour Soap

Melt and Pour Soap Craft: How To Make Sugar Scrub Soaps From Melt and Pour Soap
Sugar Scrub Soaps are easy to make using melt and pour soap base! Just melt the soap base in the microwave and add sugar to make it a scrub. You can use soap molds or candy molds. Makes a sweet gift!
Sugar soap scrubs have a little exfoliating sugar in them so they are great little scrub soaps. You can use any mold you like for this spa craft, including candy molds.
In this video lesson we will show you everything you need to know to make your own sugar scrub soaps using melt-and-pour soap. To make this project, you will need:
4 ounces of White glycerin soap base, Pink soap colorant, Essential oil, “stress relief”
Vitamin E oil, Granulated sugar, Rose candy mold, and Rubbing alcohol. You will also need a microwave, a Pyrex measuring cup, a chopstick for stirring, a teaspoon, and a spritzer bottle.
These are the steps we will show you in the video How To Make Sugar Scrub Soaps From Melt and Pour Soap:
1. Place 4 ounces of soap base in the Pyrex measuring cup and heat in the microwave at 30-second intervals until melted.
2. Add ½ cup sugar to the melted soap base and stir with a chopstick.
3. Reheat soap base in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, then add 1 teaspoon of Vitamin E oil and stir.
4. Add 4 drops of essential oil and stir.
5. Add approximately 14 drops of soap colorant and stir.
6. Sprinkle sugar into the bottom of each rose candy mold. Reheat soap mixture if needed, then pour into molds. Wait 30 seconds, then spritz with rubbing alcohol to pop any bubbles.
7. Let set up for 24 hours then pop out of the mold. These lovely little soaps make a great gift. Arrange seven on a small plate, wrap with cellophane, and tie up with a bow!

Fragrance oil can be skin safe too!

[@TheONeilSisters]

Thanks for the tip!

[@PissedoffAmerican1159]

IS skin safe - or else we wouldn’t be adding it in our soaps.

[@Lrnlv]

Great! I can totally use this for my sugar scrub gifts this year!

[@TheONeilSisters]

+Lauren Elle Wonderful Lauren! They make really lovely gifts!

[@sehunlimitedsonyahoward1165]

Great simple recipe. Thanks you for doing this

[@TheONeilSisters]

You're welcome! J&K

[@tshandcrafts9018]

One thing that agrivated me is how you were all "use essential oils and not FO's because you want it skin safe" you do know there are TONS of skin safe Fragrance oils specifically for soap making??

[@TheONeilSisters]

+T&S Handcrafts Great tip and thanks so much sharing it! We'll look for those!

[@heatherjones729]

Some prefer not to use FO due to the fact they do not list ingredients. I will not use them till they list there ingredients. Even if they are skin safe

[@abbeyp8834]

❤! Can i make this with pure coconut oil instead?

[@alwyngreen8155]

i ise both fragrance oils and essential oils in mine. natural candle supply sell fragrance oils safe for skin

[@TheONeilSisters]

Great tip Tasha!! Thanks for sharing

[@alwyngreen8155]

i put mine in the fridge for around 1-2hrs n i can use them that same night.. i have a business making everything for the body, home & office

[@TheONeilSisters]

That's helpful to know! Thanks!!

[@alwyngreen8155]

thanks for sharing ☺

[@TheONeilSisters]

Thanks for watching!

[@patriciamesa8150]

Old video My mom would like this. I just got FO from Amazon and on the bottle it says skin safe. But good video

[@TheONeilSisters]

Thanks Patricia!

[@Etheldreda-]

I like that you use essential oils.

[@TheONeilSisters]

Thanks! They are so wonderful!

[@jannahughes6021]

There are lots of fragrance oil that are skin safe. Talking about safe.. you should be weighing your essentials oils to have the safe ratio

[@TheONeilSisters]

Thanks Janna! Great tip! J&K

[@steelersgirl071961]

Lots of fragrance is skin safe, but what is in the fragrance.

[@TheONeilSisters]

You will need to check the label of the fragrance you use to know just what's in there. We always check that it is skin safe. Cheers, J&K

[@steelersgirl071961]

@@TheONeilSisters Yes ma'am.

[@lauramarshall1461]

Does the sugar melt from being put in the hot soap? Is this he soap still scrubby?

[@TheONeilSisters]

Great question! The sugar crystals don't melt in the hot soap. The soap just isn't all that hot when it starts melting. And it still feels scrubby. J&K

[@vikade6500]

Well done sister, is the soap very strong or soft and how long can it last?Thanks

[@TheONeilSisters]

Thanks!! It's not too strong. We used it up already, so we're not sure how long it can last. Wrap it tightly and it should be OK. Jennifer & Kitty

[@penalba21]

The sugar don't make sticky finger? Well is sugar just I have curiosity! I will try to make it

[@TheONeilSisters]

No. The soap helps keep it from feeling sticky. J&K

[@carolynsue2]

I tried this recipe and mine came out very hard. Also, they didn't seem to have much of an exfoliant effect. Any suggestions

[@TheONeilSisters]

So sorry they didn't turn out great. What kind of soap base did you use? Here's the written how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/how-to-make-rose-sugar-scrub-soaps/ Jennifer & Kitty

[@deemcintyre3518]

Can you use Epson, sea or Himalayan salt instead of sugar?

[@TheONeilSisters]

Great question Dee! We haven't tried that but we have seen recipes online. What a nice variation on the soaps! J&K

[@veronicadeevers3246]

Do you have a similar tutorial for goats milk soap? Thanks

[@TheONeilSisters]

Hi Veronica, Goat's Milk Soap is made using Cold Process. We don't do this kind of soap. But here's a video we found: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJTCeYGLmrt6nqs Hope that helps! Jennifer & Kitty

[@lingeringenigma2262]

@@TheONeilSisters you can absolutely make goat milk soap with a heat and pour process.

[@thebevinsclan]

does adding the colorant prevent the melt and pour soap from getting a brownish hue?

[@TheONeilSisters]

Hmmm...perhaps. We haven't had a problem with the soap turning brown, but maybe that's because we always add colorant. Hope that helps, J&K

[@aprilalfred2151]

I have a whipped soap base will that work

[@TheONeilSisters]

Hi April, We're not very familiar with whipped soap base, is it solid at room temperature? If so, it should work. Let us know! Cheers, Jennifer & Kitty

[@aprilalfred2151]

@@TheONeilSisters I can stick my finger in it but it's not soft and it's not hard if that makes sense lol. Can I ask where you got your mold?

[@TheONeilSisters]

Hi April, We would assume the finished Sugar Scrub Soaps will have the same texture and consistency as the base you use. If you try it, we'd love to here the results! We used a candy mold like this: amzn.to/2Y7vkVv Here's the how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/how-to-make-rose-sugar-scrub-soaps/ Hope that helps! Jennifer & Kitty

[@linkuplifestylehub]

for 75 gms soap how much we can take soap base and sugar please suggest me

[@TheONeilSisters]

Sorry we missed this! Here's our written tutorial for this project. runningwithsisters.com/how-to-make-rose-sugar-scrub-soaps/ We used 1/2 cup of sugar to 4 ounces of soap base. 75 grams is about 2 1/2 ounces, so you'd use about 1/3 cup of sugar. (But please double-check our math!) J&K

[@laurielindahl1402]

Is there a specific reason why you use chop sticks to mix?

[@TheONeilSisters]

Fun question! You can mix with anything you like. We use wooden chop sticks because they are disposable and longer than wooden craft sticks. J&K

[@laurielindahl1402]

Oh okay. I thought maybe it had something to do with bubbles or something like that?

[@TheCherylish1]

The sugar doesn't melt?

[@TheONeilSisters]

Great question! No, the sugar doesn't melt. Amazing, huh? J&K

[@aleksandrajemirifo6181]

Hi there, what kind of soap base are you using if I might know?

[@TheONeilSisters]

We used white glycerin soap bas. We have the step by step instructions on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/how-to-make-rose-sugar-scrub-soaps/ Hope that helps! Jennifer & Kitty

[@aleksandrajemirifo6181]

I should probably rephrase my question. Which brand soap base did you use? If you don't mind me asking... The thing is there is many and each sets at different temperature in this project that factor is crucial. But please correct me if I'm wrong. Many thanks for the link. You got a new subscriber:)

[@TheONeilSisters]

Hmmm, we're really not sure! We probably bought the soap base at Michael's and it may have been "Life of the Party" brand. Maybe check the label of your soap base to get the correct melt time/temperature for it. Thanks for subscribing!! J&K

[@heatherjones729]

Candles.. I use only fragrance oils. Because they are not used on the skin. There was a law passed... in the next few years companies will have to list there ingredients. I'm sure they are scrambling to change there formulas knowing this will happen. Lol

[@liveinalovelyway]

Hmm you would think the sugar would sink to the bottom...

[@TheONeilSisters]

The soap is pretty thick and cools pretty quickly so that may be why. There are "suspension" additives you can mix in too (and some soap bases come with them already added) to help the ingredients spread out evenly in the soap. Hope that helps! J&K

[@valerieflores407]

Can I use coconut oil?

[@TheONeilSisters]

We haven't tried that, but it seems like you could use coconut oil instead of the vitamin E oil. Let us know how it turns out!

[@valerieflores407]

The O'Neil Sisters ok thank you I just ordered the soap and am going to make it soon.

[@steelersgirl071961]

You want to make sure the soap isn't to hot it will melt your sugar, you didn't mention that, I did this and my sugar Melted! Please give Temps next time.

[@TheONeilSisters]

Oh no! Sorry that happened. The soap melts at a pretty low temperature, so no need to get it too hot. Thanks for letting us know! J&K

[@zayshakir986]

where do you get the colors from?

[@TheONeilSisters]

+Zay Shakir We used pink soap colorant from the craft store. Hope that helps! J&K

[@heatherjones729]

They do not list ingredients in fragrance oils. Yes there are skin safe oils... But when you find out what is in them... not one ingredient used in them is skin safe alone... formaldehyde.. is usually the base of most fragrance oils. I use essential oils because ingredients are listed. Fragrance oils are not supposed to be bathed in either. But we all do it. You do not need to crap on people that like fragrance oils. It's a preference.

[@joannateodosio4079]

Surprised that you'd add essential oils and then 'colorant'....colorant is chemical based while essential oils are natural. Also: is your melt and pour base detergent free? For those that want to make a natural product, you need to be sure your ingredients are natural...why add some chemicals and some natural additives? Makes no sense!

[@TheONeilSisters]

Thanks for the info Joanna. Folks should definitely pay attention to that if they want all natural ingredients! Cheers, Jennifer & Kitty
