Earth Jojoba Clay Soap - A Clearly Natural Glycerin Soap.
It is easy to make affordable, skin
nourishing and pampering bath and body products. Feel free to substitute or add other essential oils to your
clearly natural glycerin soap recipe. This clearly natural
glycerin soap recipe can be left without fragrance
or essential oils can be added for therapeutic benefit.
1 lb. glycerin soap, melted
1 Tbsp. clay
2 Tbsp. Jojoba oil
1/4 cup distilled water
Color
Fragrance oil of choice
To Make This Clearly Natural Glycerin Soap: Put the clay in a dish and spoon in a small amount of the melted soap and mix into
a
paste. Add this to remaining soap. This eliminates lumps of clay and makes a
nice smooth soap. Mix in remaining ingredients and blend thoroughly. Pour into
molds.
Glycerin can be found at health food
stores, some drug stores, craft stores or major department stores. Glycerin is a
gentle skin moisturizer soap that is available in clear and opaque.Glycerin
makes soap making less intimidating because clearly natural glycerin soap recipes don't require
lye and fats. The key to a great clearly natural glycerin soap is to keep the heat as low as
possible. High heating temperatures heat will produce a mushy or beaded
appearance. To keep the glycerin from attracting moisture from the air, tightly
wrap the glycerin soaps in plastic after making.
Sticky labels, round labels and
heavyweight card stock can be used for labeling your jojoba soap.
Boxes and baskets are nice
containers for soap, especially when you fill the boxes with other materials.
You can fill the box or basket halfway with herbs, dried flowers or potpourri
that matches the scent of your soap. Gift basket fillings, other toiletries,
washcloths or sponges also make great fillers in the basket with your soap. Once
you have added the filler and soap, wrap the box or basket in cellophane.
Coffee mugs also great "baskets." Add a
filler to the cup and place a bar of soap in the center and wrap with
cellophane or tulle. Small brown paper bags, cello type bags, wood crates
and soap dishes are other containers you can use to package your soaps and
salts.
