STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM MILK BATH MIX

• Sprinkle oil over the top of mix; stir well.
• Add oil mix back to the large bowl; mix well.

STRAWBERRY & CREAM BATH SALTS

Steps:

• Put the salt in a large glass mixing bowl, add the glycerin and mix well.
• Divide the mixture in two, to one part add food color until the desired shade is reached, mix very well, if you use liquid food color be careful that the mix doesn't get too wet, if necessary leave the color pink instead of red.
• Add the fragrance oil.
• In another bowl, add the vanilla fragrance to the other part and mix well.
• The fragrance amounts are not "to taste" but "to smell".
• Cover both bowls and leave to stand for an hour, and then mix again.
• Have some clean jars ready and fill them by alternating the layers, holding the jar at a slight angle, this way you get the layered sand effect Cover the lid with a piece of nice cotton or paper, tie with string or ribbon, and provide with a label Use 4 to 5 tablespoons per bath.

STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM SOAP

Steps:

• Grate the soap, or chop into tiny pieces using a very sharp knife.
• Use a double boiler for this soap.
• (or you can just use a heat-proof glass bowl over a pan of water- that's what I always do).
• In top of double boiler combine the grated soap, water, dry milk powder.
• Keep the water in bottom of double boiler simmering (about 2-3 cups of water).
• Stir the mixture occasionally and allow it to melt down into a smooth consistency.
• You can even whisk it with a wire whisk to get rid of any lumps.
• Remove from heat.
• Add strawberry fragrance oil, vanilla fragrance oil (or extract) and the food coloring if you decide to use it.
• It will add a nice pinkish color to the soap, making it look the color of strawberries and cream.
• Spoon the soap out into soap molds and allow to sit for about twenty four hours before unmolding.
• Then let it sit another couple of hours before using.
• If you don't have soap molds, try using muffin tins, aluminum tart shells, or any candy molds that you have at home for miniature soaps.
• Or you can spoon the mixture into a lightly greased loaf pan and then cut into it to make bars of soap.
• Enjoy this wonderful soap!
