How do you make shea butter soap with this base?

Cut the base into small cubes and melt it gently in a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring between bursts and never letting it boil. Let it cool to about 60 to 65°C and stir in 1 to 3 percent fragrance oil or essential oil and a little soap colour. Pour into a silicone mould, spray the top with rubbing alcohol to remove bubbles, and let it harden for two to four hours. Wrap finished bars straight away.

It suits soft, creamy and floral scents such as vanilla, lavender, rose, almond and milk-and-honey fragrance oils for soap.
