Directions:
NOTE: If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend you wear a hairnet, gloves and a mask. We also recommend a clean apron and workspace.
- (We recommend using a mask when working with lathanol powder. It is a very fine powder and becomes airborne very quickly.)
- To large measuring cup, add 16 oz. cut up Shea Butter Soap and heat in microwave until completely melted.
- Place soap molds on jelly roll pan and set aside.
- Add 0.50 oz. Fragrance to melted soap and mix.
- Add 1 oz. Clay* and 0.50 oz. Lathanol to a clean measuring cup.
- To this measuring cup, add enough melted soap to dry ingredients to make a paste. When there are no clumps remaining, add back to the rest of melted soap and mix together.
- Pour soap into mold cavities and spritz with rubbing alcohol. Allow soap to harden completely and then remove from molds.
- Repeat steps 1 through 7 to make remaining soaps.
- Package 3 bars of soap in a Cello Bag and tie with Raffia.
- Label accordingly.
To Use: Lather onto wet skin using hands or brush. Shave as usual.
*6/2018 - Due to the unavailability of kaolin clay, we have substituted bentonite clay in this recipe. The product will be slightly darker in color than the picture shows.
