Blend. Add yellow mica powder/ isopropyl mix and lemon essential oil. Stir with knife until well blended. Let sit for 6 minutes or until well blended. (This inhibits lemon zest and poppy seeds from settling to the bottom of the soap mold.) Add 1 tablespoon lemon zest and 1 teaspoon poppy seeds. Mix with knife until well blended.
