âď¸ Step 1: Prepare the Lye Solution
Always put safety first when working with lye. Wearing gloves and goggles, carefully add your lye to distilled water (never the other way around). Stir gently until dissolved, then set aside to cool to around 100â110°F.
You can melt your goat milk soap base and make your strawberry embeds now while the lye solution cools.Â

đ§ Step 2: Melt and Mix the Oils
If youâre using a pre-made oil mix, gently melt it if needed and allow it to cool to the same temperature range as your lye solution (about 100â110°F).
Once both the oils and lye are within range, slowly pour the lye solution into the oils. Stick blend until you reach light trace.

đ¨ Step 3: Split and Color the Batter
Divide your soap batter into three portions:
Pink portion: Add Electric Bubble Gum mica for a bright, playful pink.
Orange portion: Add Tangerine Wow mica for a juicy peach tone.
Optional white portion: Add titanium dioxide for contrast.
Stick blend or hand stir each color until evenly mixed.

đ Step 4: Add Fragrance
Add the Strawberry Peach Champagne fragrance oil to each portion and stir well. This fragrance behaves nicely in cold process soap but work efficientlyâfruity fragrances can accelerate trace if over-mixed.

đ Step 5: Create the Swirl
For a beautiful swirl effect.Â
- Tilt the mold on its side and pour a layer of pink soap. Then White soap, then orange, and white again.Â
2. Once you can't fit any more soap in the mold with it tilted, lay it flat.Â
3. Continue to alternate the Pink and Orange soap, with a white layer in between.Â

đ Step 6: Add Strawberry Embeds
While the soap is still soft, gently press your strawberry embeds on top. You can arrange them in a neat line or randomly for a more whimsical look.
Sprinkle a touch of eco-glitter or mica dust on top for an extra shimmer (optional).

âł Step 7: Insulate and Cure
Cover the mold and allow it to sit for 24â48 hours before unmolding. Once firm, slice into bars and place them on a curing rack. Let them cure for 4â6 weeks to allow excess water to evaporate and the bars to harden.

⨠Tips for Success
If you want more distinct swirls, keep your batter at a thin trace.
Chill your fragrance oil before use if your workspace is warmâit helps prevent acceleration.
For uniform embeds, pour your embed soap into a strawberry-shaped mold ahead of time and allow it to fully cure before use.
