DIY Flower Embed Soap Recipe
For this DIY you will need melt and pour soap base, mica powder, essential oils, flower silicone molds, and rectangle silicone molds.
Cut the soap base into small cubes so it melts evenly.
Place a small amount of soap base into a heat-safe silicone cup. Melt slowly using the microwave in 15-second bursts or a double boiler.
Stir in your chosen mica powder until fully blended.
Pour the colored soap into flower silicone molds.
Pour into flower silicone molds.
Repeat this process for each color you want to make.
Allow the flower soaps to fully set before removing them from the molds.
Melt the rest of the white soap base.
Stir in your essential oils.
Pour the melted white soap into the rectangle mold. Let it sit for about 30 seconds so it slightly thickens.
Gently place the flower soaps on top, pressing them in slightly. Continue adding flowers until the mold is filled.
Allow the soap to fully harden at room temperature before removing from the mold.
Cut using a wavy knife and enjoy!

Flower Embed Soap FAQ
Why did my flowers sink?
The white soap base was likely too hot or too thin. Let it cool slightly before placing the embeds.
Why is moisture forming on my soap?
This is called glycerin dew, common in melt and pour soap. Store wrapped or in a low-humidity environment.
Can I use fragrance oil instead of essential oils?
Yes, as long as it’s skin-safe and soap-safe.
Can I use different shapes instead of flowers?
Absolutely. This method works for hearts, stars, fruit shapes, and more.
Do I need a wavy knife?
No, but it creates a decorative cut that enhances the finished look.
