Making homemade fresh soap is a great at-home tutorial to test out that cuts costs from purchasing the product in stores, and this recipe instructs consumers how to make soaps shaped like gemstones with a crystallized aesthetic.
The natural homemade soaps are made using a vegetable base and essential oil blends that is dyed using a variety of colors. The soap is set into blocks and then broken up into pieces and shards before being remoulded to form the crystal aesthetic of the gemstones. The colored pieces are then remelted into a cup and shaved down into geometric shapes to recreate the structure of a rock. The various colored shards will have melted into one another creating a gradient and colorful effect reminiscent of the insides of geode rocks found in nature.
