Soap Making - White & Rose Kaolin Clay Soap with Recipe! | Findlay Creek Soap Company

Welcome to the Findlay Creek Soap Company! Today I am making an unscented cold process body soap with white and rose kaolin. This is a great soap for anyone with sensitivities to fragrances and/or artificial colourants.
Recipe:
42% Olive Oil
25% Coconut Oil
10% Hemp Seed Oil
10% Cocoa Butter
8% Shea Butter
5% Castor Oil
This batch was divided in half, with 2 tsp kaolin clay and 2 tsp distilled water added per pound of oils. Sodium lactate was also added off camera at a rate of 1 tsp per pound of oils.
This soap will be available for purchase for the launch of our online store in July 2022. www.findlaycreeksoapcompany.ca

What a lovely loaf of soap and those clays really add to the quality. I dare say, “this would be a very nice, unisex bar of soap especially with the cocoa butter!” ……. If he’s man enough to try a top notch, luxury bar albeit, pink and white. 💗

[@findlaycreeksoapcompany]

Thanks! I agree - the clay adds a richness to the lather that I really love. I like a green clay or other natural colourant might help with the unisex appeal. Perhaps there is a little marketing research/experimentation in the future...☺️

Thanks!!

Gorgeous swirls! I have to try that kiss pour technique sometime. Such a pretty soap. :)

[@findlaycreeksoapcompany]

Thanks! I think it would look really cool in a slab mold, where you have more space to move the swirl around. :)

@@findlaycreeksoapcompany I still think it turned out great but a slab mold would be awesome too. I would love to have a slab mold to play around with! Someday :)

Beautiful soap !

Thank you! 😊

Nice! I find clays impede lather though, I use them occasionally

[@findlaycreeksoapcompany]

Thanks! That’s true, the lather isn’t the same as it would be without the clay.

[@michellepinargote7388]

beautiful! May i ask you where do you buy your pink kaolin clay?

[@findlaycreeksoapcompany]

I'm in Canada - I think I purchased it from Candora Soap Supplies, but many of the popular suppliers in Canada and the USA have it available. It's really lovely!

How much water with the lye? Beautiful soap, I really want to make it but as I was writing it out and making my calculations for a 2 pound loaf I realized I didn’t have this number. Admittedly I might not know how to figure it out.

[@need_officials_]

You can use soap calculator to figure it out. I'm from Malaysia, I use SoapLab Malaysia Soap Calculator, that write everything in gram. You may to try Brambleeberry Soap Calculator.

I also have the same question.
