Hi everyone! In this video you will see how I like to make my floating soap. This one is called My Pet Unicorn! I prefer to make my floating soap this way for the freedom it gives me in techniques I can use that otherwise I would be limited in if I had done it the alternate way. But I respect that other people can make theirs the other way, and can do it well.
If you are a soaper and would like to try this recipe yourself, I will add it below, along with some links to where I get some of my ingredients. Note: I do not receive anything for these mentions. These are just a few of the places I like to shop for supplies.
Please don't attempt to make this recipe until you have an understanding of how to make cold process soap and the safety measures that are a necessary part of the craft. There are many tutorials out there whether online, in a library, or in a class, that you can use to prepare yourself to make soap safely and successfully. If you are already a soaper and have the knowledge needed to proceed, enjoy!

Before you begin, please always double check ingredients in a lye calculator for safety. Typos happen! Also, this gives you the chance to use your own water of oils ratio, and super fat %
Add lye to water, mix thoroughly and bring to room temperature
Melt oils together, mix thoroughly and bring to room temperature
Add lye water to oils and bring to trace with an emersion blender
Add fragrance and mix in thoroughly
Whip in bubbles in a stand mixer. If you did not reduce this recipe, you will need to do this step in two portions as there is too much to do all at once. (This step is optional, and will give you a floating soap)
Be careful not to whip too aggressively! Your batter is caustic and you don't want it to splatter! Using a splash guard is a very useful safety step.
Pour off six small portions of batter and add colorant to your desired saturation level.
Add titanium dioxide to main batter and mix in thoroughly.
Divide main batter evenly between two loaf molds
Drop pour butterfly colours along one edge of mold working your way over slightly as you work your way up to the tops of the loaves
Apply a butterfly swirl to each loaf. I have a homemade coat hanger tool to do this.
Dress up the tops with your method of choice (I used a figure eight with a coffee stir stick) Then I peaked one half of the loaves.
Add glitter if you chose. These glitter are biodegradable and will break down in nature.
Wrap until gelled, or oven process at approximately 170 degrees until loaves reach about 155 degrees or are fully gelled
Set overnight, and cut into desired bar size when loaves have hardened up sufficiently (about 18-24 hours)
Thank you for watching!
Enjoy!
