Soaps that Work in Clay by Diana Ossoff

Diana's Soap that Work in Clay soap recipe

Base Ingredients

3 oz Rice Bran oil
3 oz Soybean oil
2 oz Coconut oil
2 oz Lard
1 oz Sesame oil
1 oz Emu oil

(total weight 12 oz)

5 oz frozen goat's milk
1.64 oz NaOH [5% superfat ratio]

The above represents 1 batch. I made 4 batches. Each batch will yield 3 bars of soap.

Scented with

5 parts lemongrass essential oil [1-1/4 tsp]
2 parts spearmint essential oil [1/2 tsp]
1 part lemon eucalyptus essential oil [1/4 tsp]

The above is a total of 2 teaspoons. This was then divided into 4 parts for the 4 batches I made.

Additives

1 Tblspn Red Clay
1 Tblspn China Clay
1 Tblspn Sea Clay
1 Tblspn Rose Clay
Mix the above and divide into 4 equal parts. Use one part per batch.

7 drops hydrolyzed silk
0.90oz MSM
Shredded some bars of my Citrus Splash soap, as made for the ISS5 swap (2003)

Method

Add the lye to the goatsmilk. After the milk has totally thawed, add the drops of hydrolyzed silk and the MSM into the lyemilk mixture. This makes the milk thicker than usual, like a paste. I kept the milk cool by keeping the bowl in another bowl with cold water in it. Milk stayed white. Put the clay and the essential oils into the base oils before adding the lyewater.

Soap did not truly trace for me. I stick blended it until it was somewhat thick and just poured it into the molds. I then stirred the shreds into the raw soap within each soap mold cavities. The shreds are citrusy. After it set up I put it in the freezer for 24 hours and popped it out of the molds and set on racks to dry.

I really liked this soap. It lathered really nicely and had a gentle scent. Personally I would add more fragrance to the next batch. I hope you all like this.
