BASIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:Cold Process Soapmaking Mix your carrier oils with the lye-water solution and do initial blending without reaching any form of trace. Use the tip of chopsticks to scoop some powder oxide from the container. A little goes a long way so avoid scooping out too much. Mix in oxide with soap batter. Do hand mixing first to blend in oxide and soap batter. Add more oxide until desired color intensity is achieved. Once happy with color depth, continue to blend until you reach trace. Pour into molds.
