Steps: DIY Musk Soap Recipe
1- If you haven’t done so yet, cut the transparent glycerine soap into pieces.
2- Put 150 grams (5.29 oz) of glycerine soap pieces in a beaker.

3- Add 3 grams only (0.10 oz) of grated musk. If you exceed this quantity, the soap may end up creamy.

4- Add 5 grams (0.17 oz) of coco betaine.

5- Gently heat and melt the ingredients in a bain-marie (hot water bath). A bain-marie is made by placing the beaker in a larger pot of hot, steaming water. This will gradually heat and melt the contents. Make sure to stir while the mixture is melting. Avoid boiling.
Note: If the glycerine soap you are using is of high quality, once melted in the bain-marie, it remains easily manageable, maintaining a liquid state while working with it, until poured into the mold.

6- Add 5 grams (0.17 oz) of saffron carrier oil.

Note: The quantity of ingredients utilized should yield four soap bars, but this depends on the cavity size in your mold.
16- Allow the soap to cool off. This should take approximately three hours depending on the room temperature.
17- After the soap has solidified, slowly and carefully remove the bars from the mold.

Let’s Decorate the Soap Bars
18- As an optional step, use a thin brush to apply gold mica on the surface of the golden soaps, accentuating the lines of the flower design.
