As I was reorganizing my soap making space recently, I got out my jars of clay…not the kind you make cups or pots out of, but the kind you make soap with. I’ve used clays in shaving soap recipes but clay is a wonderful additive for every day soap too. The first time I made soap with clay, I couldn’t pick just one though, I ended up making four batches using kaolin, bentonite, rose and rhassoul clays. I cut the normal size bars in four pieces, and then assembled a full “bar” of the four different varieties. They came out wonderful! I love the silky creaminess of the soaps…and the super clean feeling they leave. Try out one of the clays featured in my Clay Soap Sampler recipe.
