  Step 1

  Divide the soap base into six equal portions of 140g (5oz). Place one portion in a small, microwave-proof
  container and heat on full power, using a series of 10-second bursts, until the soap is evenly melted.

• 

  Step 2

  Once the soap is fully liquid, work quickly to add colour by dipping a cocktail stick into your chosen colourant and swirling it into the soap. Repeat as often as you wish, mixing and matching the colours until you achieve
  a shade and intensity that you desire. (If the soap starts to form a skin, place it back in the microwave for another 10 seconds.)

• 

  Step 3

  Immediately before pouring, add 12 to 15 drops each of the rose and geranium essential oils and stir well.

• 

  Step 4

  Pour the soap into one of the six moulds and spritz immediately with rubbing alcohol or surgical spirit to remove any surface bubbles. Repeat these steps for
  the remaining five soaps, varying the colours each time.

• 

  Step 5

  Allow to set for several hours or until firm and cool. Once all six soaps are set, peel back the moulds to reveal your
  bouquet of roses.

This looks great - and I bet smells wonderful. I have often wanted to start making GOOD soap ie free from the 'nasties' - can you advise me where to look for the basic ingredients? I live in Portugal - but am a Brit so might have to get stuff from there ! ] Thank you !
