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.
