DIY Gardener Soap Kit

Inspired by the colors and textures of the outdoors, the Gardener Soap Kit is an oldie but goodie. We first created the project back in 2011 – watch the original Soap Queen TV video here. Six years later, it was time for a refresh.

The refreshed Gardener Soap Kit has a similar design and feel, but with updated ingredients and instructions. The kit now comes with printed instructions that are easier to follow. It also comes with new and improved ingredients like the Pure Soap Silicone Tray Mold, which is a durable and long-lasting.

Author: Soap Queen

Recipe type: Melt & Pour

Serves: 8 Bars of soap

Ingredients

Pure Soap Silicone Tray Mold
21 oz. Goat Milk Melt and Pour Soap Base
10.5 oz. Clear Melt & Pour Soap Base
12 mL Green Fig Fragrance Oil
1 Tbsp. Walnut Shells
1 Tbsp. Shredded Loofah
Hydrated Chrome Green Color Block
Dropper
99% Isopropyl Alcohol in a Spray Bottle

Instructions

For the first layer, chop 10.5 oz. of the Goat Milk Melt & Pour Base into small cubes. Place the soap into a heat-safe container and melt in the microwave using 30 second bursts. After each burst, stir the soap. Be careful not to overheat and burn the soap.
Once melted, add 1 Tbsp. of walnut shells. Stir to combine. Use the dropper to add 4 mL of fragrance oil and stir. Pour the soap into the mold. Spritz with alcohol to get rid of bubbles. Allow to cool and harden for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the next layer.
For the second layer, chop 10.5 oz. of Goat Milk Melt & Pour Base into small cubes. Place the soap into a heat-safe container and melt in the microwave using 30 second bursts. After each burst, stir the soap. Be careful not to overheat and burn the soap.
Add shavings of the Green Color Block to the melted soap until you get a light green. Add 4 mL of the fragrance oil. Stir well and let the soap cool to 130° F or cooler so that it doesn't melt the first layer.
Once cooled, spritz the first layer with alcohol to help the second layer adhere. Pour the green soap into the mold on top of the first layer. After pouring, spritz with alcohol to get rid of bubbles. Allow to cool and harden for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the next layer.
For the last layer, chop 10.5 oz. of the Clear Melt & Pour Base into small cubes. Place the soap into a heat-safe container and melt in the microwave using 30 second bursts. After each burst, stir the soap. Be careful not to overheat and burn the soap.
Add shavings of the Green Color Block to the melted soap until you get a dark green. Add 1 Tbsp. of shredded loofah and 4 mL of the fragrance oil. Stir everything together. Let the soap cool to between 125° F and 130° F to allow the loofah to suspend evenly throughout the soap and to prevent melting the layer below.
Spritz the second layer with alcohol to help the third layer adhere, then pour into the mold. After pouring, spritz with alcohol to get rid of bubbles.
Let the soap harden for 4-8 hours before removing from the mold. Once the soap is cool and hard, remove from the mold and use a sharp knife to cut along the score lines.
