How to Use Soap Sprinkles in Melt and Pour & Cold-Process Soap

If you've ever wondered how to make your handmade soaps look as good as they smell, soap sprinkles are your answer. These colorful cosmetic-grade embellishments are one of the easiest ways to elevate your melt & pour or cold-processed soap — no special skills required.

What Are Soap Sprinkles?

Soap sprinkles are small, rod-shaped embellishments made from cosmetic-grade soap base, cornstarch, and skin-safe mica colorants. Unlike candy sprinkles, they're specifically formulated for use in soap and bath products — they won't bleed, fade, or dissolve into your bars.

How to Use Them

  1. Melt or create your soap base as usual
  2. Pour into your mold and let it set until it has a skin on top
  3. Sprinkle soap sprinkles generously on the surface
  4. Don't pour too hot or you'll sink the sprinkles
  5. Let fully cool and unmold

Pro tip: You can also use soap sprinkles as toppers by pressing them directly onto the surface of a freshly poured bar before it fully sets.
