Basic Clay Melt & Pour Soap Recipe

Add 28.50 oz cut up Soap Base to a large, microwave-safe measuring cup.

Microwave at 50% power in 1-minute increments until soap is melted.

While soap melts, combine 0.38 oz Safflower Oil with 0.83 oz Bentonite Clay in a separate dish. Whisk until well blended.

If desired, add up to 1% (0.30 oz) Fragrance Oil to melted soap base and mix.

Stir in Clay/Oil mixture to melted soap base.

Allow soap to cool to around 100° F before pouring. Continue stirring gently as the soap cools. Please note: some clay will inevitably sink to the bottom of each bar but pouring at a lower temperature helps suspend the clay throughout the bar.

When the soap is ready to pour, give it a good final stir. Then fill each cavity, stirring before each pour.

Spritz the tops of the bars with rubbing alcohol to pop any bubbles.

Allow the soap to set up a little before transferring to the refrigerator to cool and harden fully (about 1 hour).

Once soap is completely cool and fully hardened, remove from refrigerator and mold.

Package as desired and label accordingly.
