How to Make Unicorn Whipped Soap
These are the supplies needed to make this mermaid soap:
- 1 cup whipped soap base (Find it on Amazon)
- 2 tablespoons liquid vegetable glycerin (Find it on Amazon)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 pound of clear melt and pour soap base
- 10 drops of rose essential oil
- 10 drops of helichrysum essential oil
- 1 tablespoon Argan oil
- 1/2 tablespoon white cosmetic glitter
- 2-3 drops each of yellow, blue and purple soap colorant
- Tri color frosting kit (Find it on Amazon)
- 2 8-ounce Mason Jars
- Mermaid sprinkles
This list of soap supplies looks a little long, but the essential oils and glitter are completely optional.
Fluffy Whipped Soap
Making this whipped soap isn’t hard. In a large microwave container, add 8-10 cubes (each cube equals a little less than 1 ounce) of the clear soap base. Heat in 30-second bursts until the soap is completely melted.
Repeat the same steps above for the Shea butter.
Mix in your favorite essential oils, Argan oil, and glycerin.
Fold in half of the cornstarch and add the whipped soap base. Mix on low with a hand or stand mixer for 1 minute. Mix on high until mixture begins to thicken and is light and fluffy, much like frosting.
Add in the mica powder and beat it for 1 more minute. If the mixture is not beginning to form stiff peaks like a meringue, add more cornstarch, 1 teaspoon at a time until it does.
Divide whipped soap into 3 small mixing bowls and add pink color to one bowl, yellow to another and teal to the last bowl. Start with 1-2 drops of color and mix it in. If you want a darker color, add 1-2 more drops and repeat until you get the color you want.
Add one of each color frosting to each of the 3 piping bags. Hold bags together so all sides of the tips meet. Add frosting tip and the coupler.
Holding all three bags tightly in your dominant hand and pipe the frosting into your Mason Jar. Top with sprinkles if desired.
This recipe makes approximately 16 ounces of whipped soap, so if you use smaller 4oz. jars you can make several jars of this unicorn whipped soap. Making these perfect to hand out for a party favor.
