How to make natural lavender & lemon cold process salt bar soaps coloured with purple Brazilian clay
Today we are showing you how to make natural, cold process salt bar soaps scented with Lavender and Lemon essential oils and naturally coloured a pale purple using Purple Brazilian clay.
This recipe is an intermediate level project as salt bar soaps can throw up some challenges that you don't get with regular soaps (overheating and hardening too fast to name just a couple). If you are new to soap making, we recommend you get a few batches of regular soap under your belt before attempting this recipe!
That said, the actual ingredients used in this soap also make it quite an easy recipe once you get the hang of how the batter will react to the coconut oil and salt. This is because it has just two base oils, which is a heck of a lot easier to weigh out then the six different oils that we include in our regular soaps!
In this video we talk you through the ingredients used and why we use them and then explain and show you how to create the salt bars. We cover everything from prepping your ingredients right through to cutting the bars and we even show a "lather test" on the finished bars to show you the gorgeous, creamy lather that they create.
In order to create these beautiful salt bars at home, you will need a few key ingredients. The ingredients are listed both in the video itself and I will also paste them here for you. Please note that the coconut oil is essential when making a salt bar and cannot be substituted (it is the only oil that will still lather nicely in the presence of such a high amount of sea salt). The Argan oil can be substituted for another oil of your choice but if doing this, do run your new recipe through a soap calculator as the required lye amount may change slightly.
Here is the recipe that we created and feature in this video:
Sodium Hydroxide 128g
Water 256g
Coconut oil 810g
Argan Oil 90g
Fine Sea Salt (without added anti-caking ingredients) 450g
Purple Brazilian Clay 25g
Lemon (Distilled) Essential Oil 15g
Lavender Essential Oil 15g
Cedarwood Atlas Essential Oil 15g
Heather Flowers (Optional) 4g

    A bit late to the party but i'm currently trying to wrap my head around IFRA and percentages, especially when it comes to diffusers. I know that it's under cat 10A for diffusers but if i go and check the IFRA from one supplier, it'll be something like 6.5% fragrance oil required , fair enough, but i checked an IFRA from another supplier and the fragrance (a very subtle smelling Baby Powder) is 0.56%! However, the same supplier has a seperate document for diffusers and it says 25%, but i'm under the impression the maximum is 25% and i could go 10% for example. I don't want to make diffusers, sell them and find out they're super weak or make diffusers with way too much fragrance oil and cause issues😖

    Is there a certain ratio to use with infused oils per 1 lb batch . Or like a safe spot . I’m new to soap making. I’ve seen a lot of makers use infused oils for soap but no one ever explains why or if you can replace the full amount of olive oil . Does it depend on herbs. Thanks again. Video was very informative
