Cut the melt and pour soap base into small cubes so they melt faster.
Add them to your double boiler (basically an aluminum bowl in a pan half filled with warm water) on low to medium heat.
Your water should be simmering but not boiling.
Continue steering until the soap base is melted.
Once melted, add the oils and black molasses, then mix well.
Once everything is melted, take the bowl off the heat, wait a few minutes until is slightly cools off then add essential oils if desired, mix well. If you add the essential oils when the base is too warm, they will evaporate and you can say goodbye to the amazing scents….
Spray pure alcohol on top of the soap to get rid of the bubbles if any.
This makes about 3 small soaps. Let dry for 24h hours before un-molding and cutting. Voila, now you know how to make your own shampoo bar!
