Sweety Tahiti Single Use Hand Soap
Single use hand soap have a host of useful applications, they can be used anywhere you have water. My hands are sensitive to most restroom soaps, so I like to bring my own soap as often as I can. These single use hand soaps also come in handy when camping and hiking. Just tuck a container of your single use soap in your bag and use them where ever you go.

Ingredients

Instructions
Cutting the Paper
- I used sisors to cut out the shapes for my single use melt and pour soap. If you want to get fancy, you can print outlines of whatever shape you want to make and cut it out.
Preparing the Soap
- Weigh out 2 ounces of clear melt and pour soap base. Place the soap base into a microwave safe container. Melt in the microwave in 10 - 15 second intervals (mixing well in between each interval) until the soap is completely melted.
Adding Scent and Color
- Add 0.04 ounce Sweety Tahiti fragrance oil to your melted soap base and mix well. If you are choosing to add color, add a bit of aquamarine mica powder. Mix well. If you have any issues getting the mica powder to mix, just spray it with a bit of rubbing alcohol. This will break up the little mica powder clumps.
Dipping the Paper
- Using a pair of tweezers, grab the corner of your paper. Dip the paper into the melt and pour soap. Remove the paper from the soap and allow any excess to drip off. I kind of shake it back and forth to grt the excess soap off.
- Spray the paper with the soap on it with rubbing alcohol. You want to spray it to pop any bubbles that might have formed on your single use soap.
- If at any point you notice that your melt and pour soap is starting to harden up, just pop it back into the microwave for 2-3 seconds.
Dry
- Hold the soap paper with the tweezers until the soap is dry. It is not going to take long at all for that little bit of paper soap to dry, maybe 10 seconds. Then set it on the wax paper to finish drying.
Repeat
- You are going to continue to dip the paper into your soap base, spray with rubbing alcohol and drying until you have used up all the paper that you cut.
Storing
- Once the individual use hand soaps have dried, just remove them from the wax paper. You are going to want to store the individual use hand soap in a sealed container. If you leave it out and exposed to the air, you might wind up with Glycerin Dew.
