Shea Butter Shampoo Bar

[Bubbles Galore]

Just cut up my latest batch of Shea Butter Shampoo Bar. I used Organic Rose Hydrosol as the water and the smell was amazing when I added the lye. I think I can smell a hint of rose in the finished product. We'll see.

That is beautiful, was thinking what fantastic value a shampoo bar would be as imagine one would get a fair few washes from them

Thank you for the kind comments. :wink: I just sniffed it and can only smell the usual soapy smell, no roses.

Well, then, Bubbles, would you mind giving me some instruction? It is actually on my list to make a cake with pink swirls using Rose clay as the color. I have not swirled with clay as the color yet, but when I have swirled with things other than micas or oxides, I sometimes end up with two different textures in the soap.

Would you mind sharing how you add your clay? Do you premix it with oil? How much oil?

Thanks

You should have kicked me Toni. I only just saw this while looking for a photo of one of my soaps with TD that I couldn't find.

One tablespoon clay (Australian tablespoon which is 4 teaspoons) mixed with one tablespoon of oil and then added to a few soup ladles of soap batter and I think I did an ITPS (in the pot swirl) and hoped for the best.

No kicking necessary Easy to lose track of a post. Thanks for getting back to me. I actually ended up with a nice swirl of pink clay in a castile soap. It will be ready for valentines day.

Very pretty! I have found that hydrosols have more benefits as a spray for the hair and skin than they do as an aromatic. Getting a good natural rose smell in soap is freaking expensive!! Thank god for FOs

That soap is so pretty ... and the smell sounds beautiful ... hope it has lasted!
