Winter is upon us and coughs and colds are rapidly spreading through schools, so it’s important to remind our little people to regularly wash their hands. They need even more encouragement to put their hands under cold water on a chilly day and many of us know how repetitive it can become. So here is an idea that may make the journey to the sink that little bit easier. This recipe adds the nourishing benefit of Jojoba oil and shea butter, with the gentle cleaning properties of Lavender and Mandarin essential oils. Topped off with a little surprise incentive.
Take a 1Kg tub of clear melt and pour soap. Cut it into cubes and divide it 2 piles,1 with 300g of soap cubes and 1 with 700g.
Put the 300g pile into a glass bowl and either place over a pan of boiling water or put into the microwave. Stir regularly until melted. Do not boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool before adding 6g Jojoba Oil and 5ml Lavender essential oil.
Fill your chosen mould about a quarter of the way up, allow the bubbles to rise to the surface and lightly mist spray them with a tiny bit of denatured ethanol to remove. Leave for approx 45mins to allow it to set firm. Then place your chosen treat, such as a plastic toy or a coin into the centre of the mould on top of the layer of set soap.
In a fresh bowl add the other 700g pile of soap cubes, 8g shea butter and 2-3drops food colouring (optional). As before, gently heat until just melted stirring regularly. Allow to cool and add 5ml Mandarin oil. Carefully pour into your mould until the treat is completely covered and again spray the bubbles at the top with the denatured ethanol. Leave to set (4-6hrs). Once hard, pop them out of the mould and admire the result. Then simply leave a soap bar in the bathroom and wait for the hand washing fun to begin.
Added oils or butters can be changed depending on your personal preference and it’s so easy to make you could even get the kids to help!
