Instructions:

3. Divide the melted soap base into three equal parts in separate containers. Add red mica powder to one container, green mica powder to another, and leave the third container as is for the white part of the soap.
4. Spray the soap mold with rubbing alcohol to help prevent air bubbles. Pour the red, green, and white soap base into separate sections of the mold, creating layers.
5. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the colors together, creating a marbled effect.
6. Spritz the top of the soap with rubbing alcohol to remove any air bubbles. Allow the soap to cool and harden completely before removing it from the mold.
