DIY Lavender Vanilla Melt & Pour Soap with Kaolin Clay

Learn to make Lavender Vanilla soap with Kaolin Clay using Melt and Pour Soap base. 💜
► Lavender Essential Oil is a rich, floral, and herbaceous oil that is stress-relieving and sleep-inducing. It’s a versatile oil with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
► White Kaolin Clay, also referred to as China White Clay, is a very mild clay that improves blood circulation, and gently exfoliates and cleanses the skin. It helps remove impurities without removing the skin's natural oils, making it a great choice for dry or sensitive skin types.

I think the swirl "fail" is one of the most pretty soaps!

[@jacquibuckley6015]

How in God's good name did you keep your soap melted so long? Mine is already going hard the minute it's off the heat. Beautiful results.

[@vampyreGisel]

[@ingridphillip5367]

With my experiment I put my mold in warm water in a deep dish while pouring 🌻

Thank you for watching! 🙂

[@Rodmic-hd9pn]

Aren’t you concerned you may mix mica colors up

[@norafiqah3309]

Do we need to only use isopropyl alcohol?

[@jo_diy]

The Isopropyl alcohol helps to incorporate additives into the soap base and burst any bubbles for a better final result. It is not absolutely necessary, but it is beneficial to the final outcome of the soap.

[@mosim3988]

Great video. Me naah buy nuh muh soap a shap. Thank you for the info.

[@jo_diy]

Lol. Thanks for watching!

[@maganskitchen1621]

A di same ting mi say

[@moonstars6603]

Can you use Bentonite Clay instead?

[@jo_diy]

I haven't used Bentonite Clay mysef, but I think it should work just fine. Thanks for watching!🙂

[@abdiaaisha7199]

May i substitute kaolin clay with benzonite clay?

[@annemurrell6419]

The Alcohol in the mica makes the soap smell awful in my opinion .

[@jo_diy]

If you use a high percentage alcohol (e.g. 99% Isopropryl Alcohol) and only a tiny amount to dissolve the mica, the alcohol should evaporate and not leave any scent in the soap. If you find a better way to do it that works for you, I'd love for you to share it. Thanks for watching!

perfect quote - exactly how i feel these days as a beginner! but never give up!!!! cool soap! I will try yours ;)
