Materials

Instructions

  • Cut soap into small chunks and place in a heat-proof bowl. Melt in the microwave in 20-second intervals. Stir between each round to break up large chunks.
  • While the soap is melting, put the clay in a separate small bowl. Add enough water to make a paste with the clay.
  • Prepare your soap mold. Cut the top of a Silk Almond Creamer container to make a soap loaf.
  • When the soap is completely melted and has stopped steaming, add the water, almond oil, essential oil and clay.
  • Whisk the soap until fluffy to combine the ingredients.
  • Pour into your soap mold. Spritz the top of the soap with rubbing alcohol to remove any bubbles.
  • Let the soap harden for 1-2 hours then remove from the mold.
  • Cut the soap into your desired thickness.

Notes

I learned after the fact that I should have spritzed the top of my soap loaf with alcohol to get rid of the bubbles. Do that and you'll get a smoother finish than mine.
