Ingredients

Phase A
60% | 420g SCI surfactant (Use a face mask when working with SCI)
15% | 105g decyl glucoside
10% | 70g cetearyl alcohol
7% | 49g conditioner pellets
2% | 14g cocoa butter, certified organic, deodorised

Phase B
1% | 7g hydrolysed quinoa 
1% | 7g lactic acid
1% | 7g coco caprylate
2% | 14g caramel popcorn fragrance oil
1% | 7g Geogard 221
Pinch of bronze sparkle (used in photo) or gold sparkle mica - add and stir until desired colour is reached.

Method
(Work in a well ventilated area, put on your dusk mask and turn on the extractor fan if you have one, the SCI fumes are very unpleasant at the beginning.)
 

• Melt Phase A ingredients in a pot on the stove. Once it's starting to melt, blend with a stick blender to speed up the process and get a smoother finished bar. Blend until the mixture comes together to form a paste-like consistency. 
• Take the pot off the heat and blend in Phase B ingredients.
• Using a spatula, pour the mixture into moulds. Smooth top over with a knife. It can be difficult to get a clean finish so don’t worry if it’s a bit messy.
• Pop them in the fridge to set.
