Funfetti Body Wash Bars (exclusive)

Updated: May 13, 2022


Formula;

phase A

phase B

Directions;

  • combine all ingredients in phase A. (Make sure to wear a respirator when working with powdered surfactants)

  • If you want to add coloring, this is when you would add in the mica powder. I added in sprinkles at this time. I didn't measure them out. Just add as many as you would like.

  • in a separate container combine ingredients in phase B & mix

  • next pour phase B into phase A and mix until combined. I mixed using a spoon.

  • use a shampoo bar press to press your bars. I always wrap the shampoo bar press with parchment paper so the product doesn't stick to the press.

  • I took 70 grams of the body wash bar mixture and rolled it into a ball before placing it into the shampoo bar mold.

  • continue pressing each bar until you have them all shaped into bars.

  • If you don't have a shampoo bar press you can use any mold or shape them by hand.

  • after pressing or shaping your bars let them sit overnight to let fully harden before using

Note; they aren't unsafe to use right after pressing, you just want to let them fully harden for 24 hours. Let them sit for 3 weeks before using and they will last much longer.
