Making Clay Soaps

Here I will teach you how to make soaps with clay

Clays can be added to your soaps to make them more nourishing to the skin

White clay will assist a MP (Melt and Pour) soap to lather more.

There are 2 main ways to add clays to your soaps:

Option 1:

• Take approximately .5-1 teaspoon of powdered clay (up to 5gm) per 1 kg of soap base
• Melt the soap base 
• Add in the powdered clay, stirring well
• *Note some may settle and create speckles throughout your soap if a darker clay is used

Option2:

• Take approximately .5-1 teaspoon of powdered clay (up to 5gm) per 1 kg of soap base
• Mix into a little hot water to make a thin paste
• Melt the soap base 
• Tip the rehydrated clay into the melted soap base and stire well
• *You may still get a few speckles, but this method will disperse the clay more evenly

With both options, pour your clay soap base into a mould

Allow to set

Once set, your soap is ready to use.
