Common Questions

Does melt and pour soap need to cure?

Unlike cold process soap, melt and pour soap doesn’t need to cure. It just needs to cool and harden because it has already gone through the curing process. It’s perfect for soap making beginners and requires no wait time!

Do you need meringue powder for bath bomb frosting?

You can make frosting for bath bombs with a lot of different recipes, but this one doesn’t use meringue powder. Meringue powder, when used, helps stiffen and whip a recipe. It’s not necessary in this one because of the other ingredients used.
