Sea Clay & Avocado

[saltydog]

I got this recipe from AmandaG. She posted it on the BB site when they started selling the Sea Clay (I think) Anyway, there's no PO in it, but a ton of cocoa butter. This is so different than anything I've made, I can't wait to see how it feels. It's supposed to be a facial soap but I'm going to wait and see how it feels. It's very bubbly, my hands bubbled up like crazy just rinsing them after peeling off my freezer paper!
I fragranced it with BB Spearmint Eucalyptus, which is very nice. I wish I didn't put the peppermint leaves in here, but I like the color otherwise

Ahhhh, they looks so luxurious. The color and the sea clay seem to give it a spa-like feel. Why don't you like the leaves? They seems to add a nice texture. You make such pretty soaps.

Thanks, ladies, always so supportive
I don't know about the leaves, I guess because they will turn brown, it was a last minute decision that's why there's not too many.
Maybe the leaves will grow on me..he he, see what I did there?

Thanks kaz! I used Amanda's recipe here: http://www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body- ... acial-bar/

I ran it thru soapcalc and the cocoa butter comes out to be 12.5% - no Palm and almost 19% Avocado Oil!

Those soaps look amazing!

Those look great! I saw Amanda's guest post and recipe, too. Hers inspired me to formulate my own and I love it - I used way more sea clay and it is a wonderful facial bar.
